Thanks Oscar. I'm feeling a bit better than I did this morning, but still tired.

Re: Finish your games challenge - 2014

I am going to have to go back and reread the past posts but I am going to write about the BOGO. I am sooo excited especially since a new madhead game is out Cadenza-Music Betrayal & Death CE...but I can't get it to open!!! In the tech section, a lot of mac users have the same exact problem. sooo that ruins my plans! I was going to get that one & the new surface game...but now UGH! there are no other CEs that I want. I thought I would get Dark Dimensions-Somber Song CE but it doesn't have very good reviews and after playing part of the SE to compare them, I didn't find it as interesting as I did before so now if I even get it, it will probably be the SE and as a DD or something. 

All the rest of the games I want are SEs...and well I need those for my expiring pccs...I am going to try and download Cadenza on my mom's laptop and see if it will play later on...sometimes the same exact game will work on hers and not mine and we have the same operating system and everything....An example...New Yankee in King Arthur's Court 1 did not open on mine no matter what I did but works great on my moms...soooo if cadenza works...maybe I will get it and play it on hers since she is still here recovering from surgery and the laptop isn't going anywhere for the next month. Still I am sooo disappointed 

I don't feel like Eternal Journey-new Atlantis CE, Emberwing Ce, Bridge to Another World CE or the new Riddles of Fate Ce are worth paying extra for or even worth a BOGO sale...sigh. 

I hope everyone else is having a great time getting all the games they have been putting off. As of now, I guess I am just using my membership to accrue GCCs. One day I will be able to stock up on a bunch of games once I get the pc laptop or these games start to work lol

I am currently playing Agency of Anomalies-Mind Invasion CE and what a weird game it is LOL but its the first time I've played a game involving other people's dreams/mind that hasn't bored me. Everything I've played in the past couple years has been predictable but this one is fun! Doesn't hurt that I LOVE orneon games. I am also playing Spa Mania and this one is unusually hard for me. I was doing great until the 3rd salon and now I cannot reach the daily totals no matter what I do LOL so this one will take me quite awhile and I love it. xx

Re: Finish your games challenge - 2014

Eternal Journey was a very good game.  Quite different I thought when I played it which was some time ago.  I haven't played any of the others you mentionned Meg.

I finished Shadow Shelter and thought it was really good. Nothing was difficult but it kept my interest with all its unique little things. It created a great atmosphere. For me I didn't need any hints or WT. The map despite it being an annoyance was a necessary tool for this game imo.

I started Amaranthine The Living Mountain.  So far so good, I have been turned into a green monster and need to turn in now as it is almost 1am.  I remember really liking the first Amaranthine.  But I don't remember enough about it to know whether this one has anything to do with the other.  I do like the bow and arrow parts and I like a good animal assistant, and Bonnie is cute. Not as cute as that cat In Grim Legends though (and I am a dog person but darn that cat was adorable)  I'm always happy to leaving the digging in dirt or climbing trees to my little friends.

Hope you sleep better tonight misscatlady.

I finally finished my taxes.  IF the codes work tomorrow I'll get some CEs.  If not I'll just get some SEs with my PCCs.

Re: Finish your games challenge - 2014

If anyone's interested, I've just posted a full review of European Mystery: The Face of Envy CE on my StuSue's Reviews thread. 

I'd recommend the SE but I'm not at all sorry I got the CE as it was fun (but very easy) and I really liked the story and the bonus chapter and the extras, the crystal box (which was in both the main game and the bonus chapter but the animation was slightly different in the bonus game, which I thought was a nice touch), and running around Rome and then Dresden in the bonus chapter.

Re: Finish your games challenge - 2014

I have finished Tales From the Dragon Mountain 2: The Lair. It was very fun, much better than expected  It´s much better than the first one. It´s kind of adventure light, no HOS. You get achievements and there are collectibles.

I also finished Rush for Gold: California. It was OK, but very similar to the first one. Luckily I bought it with a PCC.

Re: Finish your games challenge - 2014

The BOGO codes still worked so I bought 4 CE's.  I wound up filling 3 cards for the month and unless there's a CE released this month that I have to have immediately, I'm done shopping for April.

I won't have any trouble using my pcc's because there's yet another nonagram puzzle game released today.

I finished Magic Griddlers and started Mystery Riddles.

Re: Finish your games challenge - 2014

Stusue... I read your review on European Mystery and it made up my mind to get that game over Dark Dimension: Somber Song.  So all total I got 4 SE games.

Lost Lands: Dark Overlord
Grim Legends: The Forsaken Bride
Emberwing: Lost Legacy
European Mystery: The Face of Envy

and with a pcc today I got Gardens Inc. From Rags to Riches

It was such a nice day yesterday in the 70's that I did a whole lot of yard clean up.  Raked up a bunch of leaves and trimmed up my Hydrangeas.  It was so nice to be doing yard work.  Tuesday temps will go down into the 30's.

Re: Finish your games challenge - 2014

Since the codes worked I used a GCC along with my PCCXs.  I acquired
Mind Snares
Lost Lands
The Others
Shadow Shelter
Space Legends
Puzzle Hero
Emberwing
I had 3 punches to go and I had a PCC that was a gift that expires in a few days and one that I just got for filling a card.  I debated on whether to borrow one from someone but I dedided to use a Gift Certificate code I had gotten for winning a contest.  That got me 2 more punches, now I just have to decide on my last game that I'm getting with th3e expairing PCC, then I'll have 2 PCCs that I can use anytime in the next 2 months.  Using the Gift Certificate seemed to work out better, cause there's several recent games I want that I have to wait for the SE version.  Although I am tempted by the CE of Cadenza since it had such fabuloius reviews but I'm like Meg, there's not another one I really really want the CE version of.except maybe the new Fear for Sale.  I do have a couple CE replacement coupons, maybe next month I will use one with my 2 PCCs(on a Monday)) and that will fill another card before my membership ends.


No matter how much I complain, I'm grateful for all I have.
