I got THE ULTIMATE CHRISTMAS PUZZLER and am still playing it. It has jigsaws, rotate and "other" and there are 4 levels to each section. Easy was easy. Now I'm on normal and it's a bit hard. On one darn rotate puzzle it has big blocks and sometimes 4 very little blocks. I worked and worked on one puzzle and FINALLY got one little tiny square turned the correct way! I am enjoying it though.

I am enjoying And Then There Were None, it is very well done. Besides the addition of a extra character it follows the book pretty closely, which I appreciate. I am a big fan of Agatha Christie and have read all of her books many times.
I had to consult a walkthrough a few times, because I don't think that way about some stuff that they did in the game and I get stuck. Like one part brambles are blocking the path and a couple of goats are in the area. I tried to get past those brambles with anything I could think of except the right solution and to me the solution was just plain weird.
I have this game on a CD with two other Agatha Christie games. I bought it in 2010 and about time I got down and finished it.

I missed Fall o f a New Age. I really like Playrix adventure games. I was going to say that I don't care for the M3s that have the HOs and other stuff in them, I like to get all revved up and go, go, go, I like to play timed; but Barres's review is so good that I'll have to check it out. I also didn't even care to try the newest Anomalies game that came out as SE today, but the reviews are glowing, so there's another for the list...

I just finished Fearful Tales: Hansel and Gretel CE. It was an absorbing game and kept my interest. The bonus chapter took me less than an hour. I enjoyed the game, it was easy.
Next up I am going to play Questerium: Sinister Trinity.

Just noticed Gamezebo no longer has their forums. I wondered when that happened?

The only people using the forums were people who played the sort og games sold by BF. Since Gamezebo is no longer interested in those games, i'm not surprised they closed down the forums. People who play the games Gamezebo reviews are more likely to be using twitter and/or Facebook. Forus, like downloadable gaes, are so yesterday

I am currently on the bonus section of Wild Hunt Riddles of Fate. I have really enjoyed this game. My only complaint would be that I was ready to move on before the bonus section so it's not much of an issue. It is a long game. You definitely get your money's worth. The graphics, story and vo are really great. A nice balance of HOs and puzzles. Now I did go to the forums to see how long the bonus section was thinking I might put it aside and do later. I was really surprised at the negative comments, not that there were any just what some said. Lol one person wrote "cute game" I guess it was just meant to be disparaging as the game is anything but cute. People whingeing that the hardcore was not hardcore. That there was black bar tips. I've seen this comment before. What are they referring to? I only ever get a tip when I ask for one, these comments make it sound like they are just there.(I tend to only play the middle of the road in difficulty settings) As well some commented that it was the same old story. I for one have never played a game with the four horsemen of the apocalypse but that's just me. Everyone is entitled to their opinions. But there does seem to be a lot of complainants about recycled story lines. So my next question is, what storyline would you want to see a game based on?

Sorry, Oscar, but my sister's just gone to bed and I'm going now myself as we had a big day out today, so I won't be suggesting any storyline I'd like.
However, what they mean by "black bar tips" is when, when you click on something, you'll be told exactly what you'll need to open it and where to find it on the "black bar" along the top of the screen. I don't mind the black bar tips so much myself when it says something simple like, 'Oh, it's locked, I'll have to find a key', but don't like being told exactly what I need, for example, 'Oh, a locked chest, but I could open it with the sledgehammer I found in the garage'. There are some very extreme examples but I'm nearly and my mind is blank.
I just wanted to let anyone who's interested know that Esoterica: A Hollow Earth is available for $2.95 at Legacy Games until 14 January.
We've been out all day so I haven't even downloaded it, let alone demoed it, but it seems to have gotten some good reviews.

I've finished 100 levels of Mosaics Galore, 91 of which I have 3 keys. I liked the 5th group of 20 the best, and so far, I thought the 4th group was the hardest.

Thanks stusue. I kind of assumed that was what it was but I've never notice any of the more detailed ones. And you didnt need to answer the storyline right way (or at all) but I imagine you could come up with a doozy! Have fun with your sister.
I finished Riddles of Fate Wild Hunt. The Secret Room seemed to be basically a rehash of puzzles so I didn't bother after the first couple of doors.
