I finished Twilight Phenomenon Strange Menagerie, I quite enjoyed it.  I didn't get all the achievements though, I played in Hard mode but didn't realize that you needed to select hard in three puzzles to get the one achievement.  I tried to make up for it in the bonus section but it didn't seem to count.  Boo. And yes I dressed the raccoon.  Lol

Meg I love the first few Grim Tales the best.  They started to get "dumbed down" imo.  Much like Tirama's comment on Mystery Trackers.  They seemed to get easier.  I remember a couple of puzzles in the Legacy or the Bride that I worked on for hours, I just wouldn't give up.

I had to laugh when I wen to BFG to check out today's game.  Not much chatter about it at all but a couple of reviews.  One very negative and several who loved it.  Then someone commented that they always read reviews before they wasted and dl time.  I think this is strange that you would just totally disregard a game based on someone's review.  Their taste could be totally different, they could be in a foul mood etc.  the poster went on to say that basically they thought reviews should not have any bias in but just report on game play, lol.  How you could do a review and not report on what you personally enjoyed or didn't is beyond me.  If the poster just wants a laundry list of what is in the game they should just read the little synopsis on the game page.

Oh yes the poster is forced to dl just to see what review is right, lol.  Just struck my funnybone

Re:Reviews for Haunted Hotel: Eclipse
I try to read reviews before I waste my time downloading, Anyhow how can reviews be so different, one says the game is awful, and bad graphics another says the game is great. Now I am forced to download just to see which one makes any sense, I wish people reviewing games would make more sense. If I were to review it would just be a review of the game, and not what they hate because of the topic, I hope I dont get deleted, I dont comment much so I may be out of line, and since no one is even reviewing games anymore. JUST THE FACTS where are you, I loved your reviews!!!!

That's the comment in its entirety.  I love your add on there Tirama.

LOL the Haunted Hotel reviews were all over the board. What that person said is making me shake my head. Some people just baffle me. I personally did not care for Haunted Hotel. It might be because Mac users only got the first one and were never offered the other 4 that came out. So even though Elephant is doing this new one, Im not interested in the series or this game. It felt outdated sort of. Its a first for me since I usually love Elephant games. 

Im playing Phantasmat-Crucible Peak SE and I HATE it! I feel like Im just going through the motions. The plot is sooo bad! An avalanche...so what? Im 46% through according to the task list and Im ready to dex it. Phantasmat 1 was sooo good that was it really necessary to dump this off on ERS and have them have a stab at another chapter? Thats what the haunted hotel people did too! Just end the series then! It will never be the same!

I finished  Surface--can't remember the rest of it,  but think it's the second one;  now I've started  The Soaring City.  I loved the one I just finished,  but didn't care for the parts with live actors.  I bought  Zombie Solitaire.  I love that you can use points to fill in all the wild cards.  I'm in the sewers now.   Lagoona 2  looks good for next Monday,  and I have my eye on a couple of others.
