sunshinej; I smiled when I saw you list. I have them all and think that they are great
Dark Angels (superb graphics) and World Riddles (lots of playing time) are the ones that I place first, but they are all good!

I have finished Esoterica: Hollow Earth. I liked it. The graphics were good and occasional VO:s. The story was good with some unexpected turns.
Tirama, like you I´m obsessed with World Mosaics Chroma, but I´m only at level 76. It´s really fun with the different colors

I'm being very good and not even looking at the new download until I finish some of my paid for games. I probably should take a peek, since I discovered that I had downloaded my games to the "wrong" location on my new laptop, so I uninstalled everything and downloaded them to the "right" place. (I like all my games in a folder label Big Fish Games, rather than in the folder labeled Program Files (x86)). I might be forced to play World Mosaics Chroma all over again.

Sun I have them all but haven't played any of them. I'm no help.
Btw Tirama I love your little fairy icon.
I demo'd Clutter 3 last night because I didn't want to start something new, I'm leaving the laptop home. Positive I liked sukotris or whatever it was called. But I didn't much like the overall look of the clutter scenes. I found the graphics hard on my eyes. Just rather harsh. So it's a no go for me.
I have to start packing soon, just doing some laundry and checking my list.

I did end up asking for my money back on Fantasy Mosaics on the IPad. It really just wasn't doable for me if I couldn't eliminate the boxes I didn't need. I just don't understand why that wasn't an option. Also I had issues with World Mosaics not loading on the IPad and I will say I found the background picture behind the grid a little intrusive. That is one of the reasons I like the world contest that Tirama is playing it is very clean board. Nothing but the board.

Ok thanks Tirama & Anki. I am going to get World Riddles: Secrets of the Ages with my coupon. If I am really quick I may be able to squeeze in playing Dark Angels before cancelling. I still have a few days yet.
Oscar...Good thing you were able to get your money back. When you first mentioned that you could not eliminate the boxes, I thought well that just makes it impossible to play.
OK, I finished True Fear: Forsaken Souls. With the CE you get to find
Collectible figurines of the characters in the story.
Achievements - which I was so engrossed in the story I didn't pay attention to getting them.
Replayable puzzles and HO scenes
Replay Original intro - They watered it down a lot compared to the original
Wallpaper - Only 3 total and 2 of them I didn't like.
Bonus spoiler- Main game ends with you finding out that you need to go to the Asylum next. The bonus is that you are at the asylum outer offices where the security & secretery and manager offices are located and the main asylum doors are locked. Your job is to open the asylum doors and just after I did that the bonus ends. Also you get to know some more about what happened in the intro.

Right now I'm debating between
Grim Legends, it has collectibles and morphs, both supposed to be hard to spot
Mystery Trackers, lots of raves but I don't really like the series that much
Wendy, I haven't played Mystery Trackers yet, even though I obviously liked the demo enough to get the CE.
However, I've just spent the last 4+ hours playing Grim Legends and I've only done 4 out of 7 chapters in the main game, and there are 2 chapters in the bonus (it takes a LONG time to find the elusive objects and this game is so good I don't want to rush as I never want it to finish!). And this game is now in my top 3 fav games ever (kicking out one of the previous ones)!!!! It's brilliant. I couldn't wait for it to come out after I'd done the beta and, as I said in my survey, it's the only beta I've ever done that got a perfect score and no comments in the survey. It's so different and a very 'intelligent' game. Nothing's obvious and nothing's simple.
And, yes, Wendy, the elusive objects are really, really hard to spot. Normally, an object will switch into another object and then back again, so all you have to do is click on any object that's lying around and that looks like it might morph and you'll normally find it. However, this time it's not an object that morphs but rather an object will just appear and disappear. But they're really hard to spot as they might be a branch that gets longer, or something yellow on something yellow, or a carving - that's really hard to see in the first place - changes slightly. If you don't like staring at different parts of the screen, hoping to see something appear, then the CE isn't for you. I loved the challenge!
You also have collectibles, which are all different fairies, and are found in areas you zoom into. However, just because you zoom in, don't think that they're easy to find because they're not. They're all camouflaged! And, something that's really annoying and that made me restart the game 3 times - if you pick up the object you need in the zoom-in screen before you find the fairy, well tough, it's too late as the screen closes and that's it, you've missed it.
The puzzles so far - except 2 that took me so many tries to get them right! - are fairly easy but fun! The HOPs, on the other hand, are difficult and even the list ones aren't easy. They were great!
So, basically I love, LOVE, LOVE Grim Legends!

Yesterday I played Danse Macabre: The Last Adagio CE. The main game was great and SO much better than I'd expected! It got better and better. However, the bonus chapter was a real disappointment - short, not all that interesting except for a twist, and totally unnecessary - and all the extras were also disappointing. I'd definitely recommend the SE, but not the CE.
Which reminds me - unlike Danse Macabre and most other games - in Grim Legends, you collect the elusive objects and collectibles for a reason! The elusive objects are pictures in a fairytale book and as you collect them they go into the book, making up the artwork, and unlock local legends in the book as you go along and you can read them. The fairies go into your fairy meadow collection and they're all named with descriptions of their jobs.

I will be stopping my GameHouse membership very soon. I have 1 SE coupon to use up. I am looking at:
Demon Hunter: Chronicles from Beyond
Ashley Clark: Secret of the Ruby
Esoterica - Hollow Earth
Dark Angels - Masqueade of Shadows
World Riddles - Secrets of the Ages - nonogram puzzle
Has anyone played any of these? I seem to remember hearing about them here.
Sunshine,
Demon Hunter - loved the demo so much bought it but haven't had time to finish it yet.
Ashley Clark - liked the demo enough to buy it but haven't played it yet.
Esoterica - downloaded from GH, waiting to play it with my FunPass.
Dark Angels - starts slow but I loved it!
World Riddles - I don't own this one, only Seven Wonders - I just got Fantasy Mosaics from GH.
So, if, when you cancel your Monthly FunPass membership, they make you an offer for an Annual FunPass membership, are you tempted?
