    Happy New Year!

I finished Committed: Mystery at Shady Pines.  I thought I had already played this game, but just played the first five minutes back in 2011 to see if it worked on my computer.

​I liked the story in the game.  It was a little different then the usual asylum type game.  The HO scenes were a bear to do.  When they say hidden objects they really meant hidden.  HaHa!  Plus the scenes were very grainy looking and junk piled.  The voice overs were excellent.  It took me 4 hours to do according to the game clock.

I finally got a game finished! Okay it was only CHRISTMAS WONDERLAND 8, but it counts! The bad side was that I bought 8 SEs (with PCCs) and 3 CEs. But the CEs were all 1/2 off member price, so not too bad.

Well, you've got some momentum going.  What are you going to play next?


I usually figure out my yearly totals of games acquired and completed, but not this year.  I know I added more new ones than I finished.  Just have to try and do better this year.

I wanted to finish all my Christmas games before the end of the year, but that didn't happen.  I completed Yuletide Legends: The Brothers Claus Collector's Edition and Santa's Toy Factory: Nonograms by year's end.   I'm currently working on Christmas Stories: A Little Prince Collector's Edition and Santa's Workshop Mosaics.

Toy Factory is by 8 Floors and they've really improved their nonograms over the past year or so.  No guessing, all logic.  Not as difficult as Gizmos, not as easy as Fantasy Mosaics.  Santa's Workshop is by Lazy Turtle and it does involve either guessing or using hints.  But you don't lose stars if you use hints, so, whatever.  Good enough during the hectic holiday season when you need something to play for 10-15 minutes.

Both Christmas CE's are gorgeous to look at and a nice change from the darker games that most developers so love.  Yes, the stories can be boiled down to:  bad person has cast a spell/kidnapped good person and you have to save the day, but the music and artwork make up for it.
