Stusue, I loved Cursed House 2 even though the first Cursed House was better.  It still had different modes for different rooms and was challenging.  I haven't played Call of the Ages yet so can't comment on it.  I loved Puzzle Hero when I played it...a long time ago.  Didn't find it difficult at all.  You had to select the right weapons and armour in order to defeat the different bosses.  All it takes is the right strategy.

Sandhan, re Zombie Solitaire and the wild cards, usually when I see a specific number come up in the game and I have it in my own collection, what I do is use that number that I own before collecting the free one given.  Otherwise it doesn't register that you've got two in your stash...kinda unfair of them.  It usually works out that you can use your own and clear some cards before collecting the free one.  Same for the free "zombie slap" card.  I don't collect it until I clear all the cards that I can   clear.  It all depends on strategy used for this game.

I finally finished Dark Strokes: Sins of the Father.  It was a pretty good game and the backtracking wasn't too horrible.  I was disappointed in the bonus chapter.  There was a huge unanswered question in the main game and I thought the bonus would answer it, but it went in a totally different direction, one that we already knew and understood.  I feel like the CE version wasn't worth it, the SE would have been fine. 

I started the SE of the new Enigmatus.  I hated the constant HOs and backtracking of the first game, this one is much more my taste.  It even made me jump a few times

   I got Zombie Solitaire the other day, maybe I'll start it today.

Stusue - I usually have it all mapped out and still fail to get it.  So I sat there thinking what would stusue do? Or wwssd?  I went over those 10 suckers several times had my plan of action all mapped out and started clicking. unfortunately one of my clicks the "slat of metal" did not take and I quickly added a horn to the bicycle and what do you know I did it! I was right about the slat of metal too, not quite sure why it didn't pick up.  So thank you!

I am really enjoying Off the Record, it's fun.  And yes I did skip 5 puzzles to get the achievement.  I'll have to see if they're in the extra content. I think I am almost done as the collectibles are down to just one each and a few crayons.  I'm in the mine.

  But I don't remember seeing an achievement for skipping 5 puzzles!    What were the developers thinking?!?!?!?! 

I recently played this game.  As I recall, there were several puzzles that the SG didn't show how to solve because the starting position was random.  So I was very happy to see that you could skip them.  There's an achievement for skipping 5, and an achevement for NOT skipping 5 (in other words, for completing 5.)  Since there's more than 10 puzzles, you can get both achievements.

I really hate when devs have an achievemnt for finishing x amount of HO's in under x minutes and they must be done consecutively, and an achievement for taking over 10 mintes.  And you better take 10 minutes on the first or last HO, because otherwise you can't get both achievements.

I finished the main game of Phantasmat Collector's Edition,  Will do the bonus chapter tonight.  There are 26 different HO scenes, and during the game you play them more than once.  HOw games have changed in 2 years.

I'm not impressed with the new person doing the highlights for BF. Or should I say, supposed to be doing the highlights, since there aren't any for this week so far.  The only person who did a good job, IMO, was bfgSeine.
 

I finished Spooky Bonus.  I am not going to reply it again.  Now I can start Call of the Ages.
