Stusue the golf course comment was to do with MCF.

I finished the main part of Linden Shades.  I thought I was careful but I did miss 1 toy and 10! Crayons.  At then of the main when I was short the crayons I thought maybe they'd be in the bonus chapter but haven't seen any. So I'm working on the bonus.  The credits were good.  I always watch Eipix's.  And their making of trailers.

Phantasmat the first one.  I actually could not get into it the first time I played and put it on the back burner to try later.  I did replay it later but don't remember loving it.

I went with The Keepers The Order's Last Secret to play.  I wasn't enamoured of the first one, not sure why I even bought this one based on that but I'm glad I did.  It is quite a well done game.  The voicework is wonderful and the story engrossing.  The puzzles are middle of the road so far and boy are those morphing objects a beyotch.  Some of them stand out because they just don't belong but others you really have to look.  And I'm not sure if there is one in every scene.  The map seems a little useless, it's not very detailed, I'm not sure if it is a transporter or not as I have kind of disregarded it at this point.  It is a very straightforward game to get around in.  The graphics are really wonderful and detailed.  There are achievements.

This game doesn't have this, but I also dislike the achievement that is given if you finish a game in under 4 or 5 hours.  While I generally do, I'd rather not have that pressure (not that I worry about it(.  I often like to soak up the atmosphere and have a good look around. 

I was trying to pick out one of my oldest games but that sort on my GM doesn't help me as I dl'd everything again in May with my new computer, I have found a lot of games from 2012 in my GM .  I'm going to see if I can get thru November without buying anything. Even one from 2010 and a couple form 2011.  I'm sure I must have played them.

I played part of Brunhilda early this year, Oscar.  I liked it at first but then it was kinda the same thing over and over again so I quit, but I intend to go back to it sometime.  

Ok I don't like Royal Envoy, because no matter what I do, past the 12th level, I can't get gold anymore and I like TM games to challenge myself and this one is too challenging which I do not understand since so many people love this series and even the people who don't like these kinds of games like them. I have the 2nd one too, maybe I'll like it better. So basically Im playing it untimed even though it is timed because I can't beat anything. Good thing you can still go on. The rent and banks aspect throws me off.  I have no idea how its possible to get 25k in the time you need in the swamp level especially when the houses sink. Ok rant over. I will play but not for gold, just to play because the gameplay itself is fun.

Im also playing Fairly Twisted-Price of a Rose and I do like this one. A little too hidden objecty but only a few have repeated and I really like the voiceovers and the story.

I think I've played Call of the Ages on my cell phone. I remember really liking it and it was not like 80  days around the world because that one I have on my cell phone too and its not finished because I find it quite repetitive and can't figure out how that game is so popular. It is rather old, maybe at some point it was the best there is but compared to Lost in Night or Cursed House or Laruaville, its really just so so in my opinion.

Im going to try not to buy anything else this month as all my coupons now expire in december. Even MCF because if its anything like last years, I will know to stay away...

Tirama, I can't understand why any developer would include an achievement for NOT playing 5 of their puzzles!    Sounds pretty stupid to me unless, of course, you can play those you skipped in the Extras once you've finished.

I checked the extras and there's 23 puzzles available for replay.  That's probably all of them.

I finished the bonus chapter of Phantasmat Collector's Edition.  I'll start Phantasmat: Crucible Peak Collector's Edition tonight.  I'm anxious to finish that one, it's the only CE bought in 2012 that I haven't played yet.  I don't want to carry it over to 2014.

Tirama, thanks for letting me know that you can replay the puzzles in the extras.  In that case I can easily skp 5 puzzles and play them in the extras.

Have fun with Phantasmat: Crucible Peak CE!  I think I still have games from 2011 I haven't played yet as I keep on playing new games as I don't want to wait to play them when I get them.    I'm currently playing Sacra Terra: Angelic Night CE.  Then I'll play the sequel, Sacra Terra: Kiss of Death CE.
