Dead Reckoning: Death Between the Lines Collector's Edition  by  Eipix
Lost Lands: The Wanderer Collector's Edition  by  FIVE-BN Games

All About Casual Game has  Delicious: Emily's Christmas Carol Collector's Edition  by Gamehouse also being released in October, so I wonder if it will be released tomorrow like all the other GameHouse games.  If so, BFG sure got the latest Delicious game soon after GameHouse released it!  GH only released it last week!  But maybe because it's a Christmas game.  I got it with my of my reward codes (equivalent to BFG's PCCs but can also be used for Platinum games, ie. CEs) the day it was released.  I just wanted to check that it was as good as all the past ones before I got it, then I was planning on leaving it to play at Christmas.  However, I played a lot more than I'd wanted to play as I didn't want to stop.  For those who like the Delicious games, it's exactly like the last one (when you don't choose the menu according to the customers but rather by what you get if you choose something).  But the story is as good as always, which is the real selling point for the whole stable of the Delicious games and all the spinoffs.  Paige is so cute and is now in preschool.


 

Thanks stusue...I d/l the demo to try Forgotten Places: Regained Castle and I'm halfway through.  Tonight I will finish up and next I will d/l the demo to try Occultus and decided which one when I have played both demos.  I love a good story.

OMG, I've got a new favourite game!  
I've just played the   B E S T   G A M E   E V E R !  
With the most   A M A Z I N G  L Y   B R I L L I A N T   graphics.  
And the crystal-clearest   F A N - F * * K I N G - T A S T I C   animation I've ever seen.  
The water sloshing around in the helmet as you bring it up in the well is   U N B E L I E V A B L E.  
And the music is   A B S O L U T E L Y   S U B L I M E !  

And the name of this amazing game ????  

CURSED  by  Jetdogs  

Unfortunately, not yet available at BFG.      But released today by GH.  
And the good news?  
It's a straight SE !!!!  
It's only just over 4 hours long but wow, what a 4 hours!  
With something like 50 scenes - and I want every single one of them as a wallpaper!!!!  

And Sunshine, it's very similar to the 2 games you're demoing ... plays like a LFA game - 90% adventure with inventory puzzles, with just a few MGs and HOPs thrown in (I noted only 7 or 8 each, but I might have forgotten to jot them all down).  And it has a story that comes out little by little as you find letters from you fiancé (a cutscene each time when he reads them to you) and diaries (?) from the owner of the mansion (also cutscenes when he reads them to you).  The story's nothing new, so that may not interest you, but it's such a polished game (and I didn't see the twist, although I should have), that I highly recommend it, anyway.  So, if you like both of those, you should love this one!  I just wish it were as long as they were...

I'll give a more balanced review tomorrow as it's time I  

But before I go I'll just say that I don't recommend this game for anyone with a problem with ...  

  -  attacking demon bats  (which made me recoil - it was so real! - then laugh)
  -  attacking snakes  (which made me recoil - it was so real! - then laugh)
  -  attacking skeletons  (which made me jump, then laugh, then keep going back to watch again)
  -  attacking scorpions 
  -  attacking dragon statues 
  -  demon arms/goblins/creatures jumping out at you
        (which made me jump then laugh - every - single - time)
  -  bugs ... lots of bugs
  -  scary cats with demon eyes
  -  demons
  -  killing demons and demon creatures
  -  pentagrams
  -  performing a ritual on a pentagram  (just placing the items on it)

stusue...After playing both demos,  I like the Forgotten Places: Regained Castle one a little bit better and going to go with that one.  Thanks for the recommendations and I will keep the other one in mind for the future.

stusue...I have been playing The Agency of Anomalies: Cinderstone Orphanage off and on since it took awhile to get into it and thought of you when the BBT gave too much help.  For example...there is a ice pick stuck in the wood and the BBT said I will need some oil to get this out  or there was a empty bird feeder and the BBT said I think I saw some crackers in the pantry.  I know how you hate that stuff.

I second the game Fudge just played... Graven: The Purple Moon Prophecy.  A really good game and I had trouble finding all the mistletoe too.
