Re: Finish your games challenge - 2014
I am really enjoying Mystery Tales Lost Hope. It seems to be a pretty long games and packed with puzzles and things to do and find. I do like the HOs that you go back to later and return the items you found to where they would logically go. I have skipped two puzzles so far that I found irritating to no end.

Re: Finish your games challenge - 2014
I really like Stusue's reviews, too. They're so...energetic
She always makes me want to buy the game. I'll have to work on mine some and post them in my list more often.
I'm glad to know I'm not the only one that does "Newest " first. Nothing personal against Pennmom, I like how she always includes an example of a minigame, but the reviews I really pay attention to are the ones that start off... "I've never reviewed a game before..."
No matter how much I complain, I'm grateful for all I have.

Re: Finish your games challenge - 2014
The new CE sounds really good, if it had come out last week I would have paired it with Cadenza in the BOGO. At least I have something to put on my wish list.

Re: Finish your games challenge - 2014
Today's FREE game at Game Giveaway of the Day is:
Summer Resort Mogul
Create a world-class getaway in Summer Resort Mogul! Start small with a couple of bungalows and a restaurant, and then add movie theaters, dance clubs, swimming pools, and more to entertain your guests. Use your Time Management talents to make smart decisions with regard to workers and supplies, upgrade the buildings you own to make them even more profitable, and do a little marketing, and your resort will be second to none!
* Three stunning resort locations;
* 45 meticulously detailed levels;
* 12 buildings to build and upgrade;
* Gold, Silver and Bronze trophies;
* Interactive tutorial.
.
I've just tried the first 6 levels and only managed silver on the last 2, whereas I'd managed gold on the first 4 (the tutorial levels). 
After looking at the BFG reviews this appears to be a really hard building game and, if you want to win the game, ie. inherit the resort, you have to get gold on every level. 
I'm really bad at building games and don't like them but I thought I'd download this one and get a building game to try ... for FREE! You never know, maybe I'll improve my building skills.
I'd recommend this game to anyone who likes building games, or to anyone, like me, who'd like to get a free one to try.

Re: Finish your games challenge - 2014
I've just posted a review of an M3 game that's only available at GameHouse - Zombie Jewel. However, as I found it monotonous with no fun or challenge whatsoever, you aren't missing anything. The full review is posted in my review thread. I typed the review whilst watching the F1, which was even more monotonous than the game. 
Well, I'm off to do some washing while the sun's shining and then back to finish the story I'm proof reading.
Have a great Easter Sunday, everyone!

Re: Finish your games challenge - 2014
I finally started Cadenza last night. It's a pretty good game. There is plenty to do and the story is interesting. I hope to finish the main game today. I also started School Bus Fun. It's cute. Not very exciting but it's cute. I'll probably plow through it to finish it.
Happy Easter everyone!

Re: Finish your games challenge - 2014
I just finished the main game of Dreamscapes: The Sandman CE. WOW, what a game! 
I was only going to check it out while I had a break as I had so many things that I really needed to do but, hours later, and after twice forgetting about my washing in the dryer, I've just finished the main game at nearly 11 pm!!!! I haven't done anything I was supposed to do but did manage to ... finally ... get my washing dried, folded, and put away. But I've only just had dinner! 
I'll play the bonus in the morning before I do all the things I was supposed to do today, then I'll post a full review of this fantastic game.
At the end of the main game it says, "To be continued", suggesting a sequel. However, BFG released the SE of Dreamscapes back in March last year, and GameHouse released the CE last July (which I'm playing), so I've just contacted Playrix to see if they are, in fact, working on a sequel. I sure hope so as it's a great game!
Okay, bed for me now as I'm 
. Have a good one, everyone!
