Really quickly before I go to bed - I am SO !

I've been playing Bridge to Another World: Burnt Dreams for a tad over 3:30 hours.  It may not have gotten super good reviews but I loved the demo and couldn't wait to play it and so got the CE today - and I chose to play this before Cadenza (which got almost 5 stars and I found the demo fantastic!) because this is the one that I really wanted to play.

And I LOVE LOVE LOVE it!    It's going to be joining my top games, methinks.    I've played just over 3:30 hours (it times you) and I think I'm only a bit past the halfway mark!    And then there's the bonus chapter!  I don't think I'll get the award for finishing the main game in under 6 hours.    But this game is so good that I want to take it as slowly as possible and really, really enjoy the whole game.  I'm not hitting the Hint button continuously to get to wherever I have to go.  Nope, I'm thinking about what I have to do and wandering around to see what I've missed.  I'm SO glad I got the CE as I really don't think I'll ever want this game to end!    I'll post a full review tomorrow once I've finished the entire game. 

Did I say that I this game????
 

I'm treating myself to some CEs and SEs since i was a good girl and giot my taxes done.   I'm just not sure what games though.

Wendy -- Do you mean you start the carnival circuit angain in a few weeks?  If so that seems soon.

I picked up Surface and Cadenza yesterday. Today I picked up Dark parables Jack and the Sky King and Fear for Sale Phantom Tide since the sale code still worked. With two PCCs I picked up School Bus Fun and Legends of Solitaire: Curse of the Dragons.

I actually finished Surface last night. It was an okay game. It was short yet it seemed like it took forever. The bonus chapter was super short and kind of lackluster. Wasn't impressed. Cadenza should be better. Mad Head Games never disappoints.

I have the solitaire game on my wishlist for over the summer, when Im on limited downloading.  I like the Surface games, but the flowers are too easy to find so I just get the SE versions of them. 
I start working May 1st, normally it's mid to late April.  Winter just won't leave the North this year so I'm glad it's a bit later. 
I forgot to answer what BBB is, it's the Better Business Bureau.  Consumers can file complaints about businesses with them.  I could be totally wrong, but I don't think they have power to do anything about them, but you want to have a good rating from the BBB if you're a reputable company because people check you up using it.

oh & I originally dismissed Burnt Dreams but I replayed it last night because I realized I had only spent like 10 minutes on it and then decided which is sooo not me and I LOVED it. The fairy's voice kind of bugged me but I saw the appeal and you are right Stusue its a gem  but unforunately its going to wait until I find another CE that I like to pair it with because there is nothing else I want right now. I took advantage of the 7.99 sale last weekend. Too bad I wasn't patient like everyone else. 

Meg, the 40% discount sale today is 40% off your price at checkout, not retail, so you could get Burnt Dreams for $8.39 if you wanted.   

I didn't get anything last weekend as a $7.99 sale seems to sometimes be followed by a BOGOF, and we hadn't had a BOGOF in 2 months.  Maybe they want people to get most games at $7.99 so there aren't many left they want to get in the following weekend's BOGOF. 

I've now played for over 4:30 hours and I still Burnt Dreams and I'm always finding really cute things.  And don't worry, you only have to hear the fairy's voice a couple of times.    But boy is it hard to get the achievement for 5 HOPs without any missclicks!    I got the achievements for 1 and 3, and I'm sure I managed another 2 without any missclicks, but I still haven't got the achievement.  But the HOPs are really hard to do without extra clicking as they're either difficult progressive silhouette's or multi-interactive lists.    But I did just get the achievement for 15 puzzles finished before the Skip button activated and without exiting.    And I also got the achievement for finding 10 objects in a HOP in 12 seconds!    It sure took me awhile, though, to memorise where they all were and work out my strategy. 

Good luck with the insomnia the next time you get a lunar eclipse!

Stusue... I read your review on European Mystery and it made up my mind to get that game over Dark Dimension: Somber Song.

Sunshine, I hope you enjoy European Mystery: The Face of Envy!  I really liked it and loved running around Rome. 

I ended up getting the Dark Dimensions: Somber Song CE rather than the SE.  I had planned on only getting the SE but, as I got a duplicate free CE game coupon from CS that didn't work, I either got another CE or left the CE I wanted until another time.  So, I checked all the reviews for Somber Song, as well as the review on All About Casual Game and decided to get the CE - the bonus chapter is about 90 mins and the fragmented music sheets you collect give you details about the backstory - and I really liked the demo! 

I ended up splurging yesterday as I still have some 75% GCCs from last year (only 8 to go) so I ended up getting 6 CEs in the BOGOF and 1 using a free CE coupon code that was expiring:

Bridge to Another World: Burnt Dreams CE  (of course)
Cadenza: Music, Betrayal and Death CE
Dark Dimensions: Somber Song CE
Dark Strokes: The Legend of Snow Kingdom CE
Dark Tales: Edgar Allan Poe's The Fall of the House of Usher CE
Fear for Sale: Phantom Tide CE
Nightmares from the Deep: Davy Jones CE
