I also love how Playrix now does Adventure games. I demoed Namariel Legends-Iron Lord and LOVED it. A Definite buy!

 

Playrix has some good deals if you subscribe to their newletter.  It's a pain having games from different places, though.  I bought the Dreamscapes Premium edition from them for $4.99 and loved it.  I've also had offers for the Premium editions of Barnscapes, Gardenscapes, etc. for the same $4.99.  I think they keep their games exclusive for awhile, and then only give BFG the SE version.  It seems they put the Premium on sale shortly before the SE is offered at BFG.  Namariel sounds great, but I have to wait until I get home to d/l that huge puppy!
  I'm getting a copy of the old GM from ShadowGamePlayer; he says if you d/l a new game or demo it overwrites it, but I'm not going to be able to do that for 6 weeks so it will give me a good chance to compare the two,

Hey, I finally finished Red Riding Hood CE.  It was good, but not spectacular.  Some minigames repeated, one in particular that I didn't like.  Slide marbles around the board until they hit the matching color.  You had to do it twice each time.  I did the first, easier one, then would skip when the harder one came up.  The FRAGs were much duller in this one.  Still pretty, but a lot of brown, silver and gold coloring.  It had a decent storyline to it, and I liked reading the parables.  I give it 4 stars.

Finished Order of the Rose.   I enjoyed it, but the ending was a letdown.

DIdn't get any games today.  Nothing was calling my name. Going to play Dark Tales: Edgar Allan Poe's The Gold Bug Collector's Edition and Dark Tales: Edgar Allan Poe's The Masque of the Red Death Collector's Edition next.

Hey Tee, the group play that we are having this coming Saturday, 7 Sept. is Green Moon.  I believe you have that game?  We haven't decided or voted to play the ND game yet.  Nothing is finalised until we finish Green Moon.

Hey Lilyr, were you the one who liked Lost in Night?  Did you try Lost in Reefs 2?  I tried it and it is so similar to Lost in Night, the exact gameplay and even some of the tokens look the same.  The only difference is the background.  I think Lost in Night had cute and whimsical buildings whereas Lost in Reef 2 has muted colors and the buildings don't look that nice.  I got bored playing the demo.  I didn't even finish the first Lost in Reef that I own.  I doubt I will buy the sequel.  I've already bought 2 wonderful M3s, and I like Imperial Island a lot., it's fun, with so many trophies to collect !!

Totally enjoyed Nearwood and was sorry to see it end.  A game I would definitely replay for a variety of reasons.  Haven't picked out my next to play yet. 

I did pick up two Eipix games today in the sale, but nothing over the weekend.  Sea of Mutiny and Hansel and Gretel.
