I trialled Braveland and found it to be cute and fun.  I'd call it an "adventure lite" game - kind of a questing game for the super casual game market.  It was a nice change from the TM and HOG games normally featured.  So I supported it - IMO variety is a good thing, and the game played well,, had decent graphics / game mechanics, and was enjoyable.

If you enjoy those types of games, it's worth a peek.

(this isn't meant to be a review - if anyone is interested and there's a Braveland thread, I'll post a real review.)

The TGT at Big Fish is the CE of Dark Parables 7: Ballad of Rapunzel, and if you buy today, you can get ANY other CE for half off using the code RAPUNZEL.  The Daily Deal is Druid Kingdom, and you can get the CE of Amaranthine Voyage 2: The Living Mountain for $6.99 using the code VOYAGE.

Hello Oh Wise and Wonderful Forum Folk - I was wondering ...

It used to be that one had to be a BF Game Club member to get the TGT.  But now I can get it without being signed in.  When did that stop being a perk of Club Membership?

(Or is this really, really old news and I just noticed now?)

I certainly hadn't noticed that! But I stay permanently logged in... nuh! News to me too!

First I've heard of it. But I'm always logged into BFG, so wouldn't know how long it's been like that.

Oooh, it's out!  And it looks wonderful!    

I really want to get this, but it's the end of the month.  My punch card is empty - If I was to get it now, I'd loose the punches at start of the month.   

Also, if dj's wish comes true, maybe next weekend they'll be a BOGO sale.   

Nothing is worse than taking advantage of a sale, carefully figuring how many punches you'll get to maximize the savings ... only to complete the purchase to realize that You. Can't. Count.    

So unless I want to buy a CE and a SE, or 4 SEs, I'll lose two punches on the 1st.  And I might want to, but I spent all my moolah over at GOG today.

The TGT at Big Fish is Jigsaw World Tour 2, the Daily Deal is Hypnosis, and the Catch of the Week is The Beast of Lycan Isle.  If you buy Fright today or tomorrow, you can get Chimeras: Tune of Revenge (one of my favorites!) and/or Nightmare Realm 2: In the End... for $2.99 each using the code FRIGHT.

The code is CROWN for the deal.

Which I've decided makes zero sense for me to do...and I've decided I do NOT need yet another game series to love.  So I'm skipping Hidden Expeditions entirely (unless somebody convinces me that is a huge mistake.    )

 Northern Tale 4 just released at Realore!

Did anyone else know this was coming up? Cuz I had not a clue!   

But good news for fans!   

I still haven't finished the other 3 Northern Tales!    

The devs certainly kept this one quiet ... ...

... of course one has to shout things from the rooftops and put out a flashing neon banner for me to notice, but still.  Hadn't a clue.

I demoed this game - and lasted all of 28 minutes - thinking it might have tycoon aspects for my tycoon lovin' hubbs ... what exactly does one DO in this game?  I didn't get it.  Perhaps some people will enjoy continuously feeding, cleaning, etc a bunch of animals, but this was not a game that appealed to me.

You're given an empty dilapidated farm and an ostrich with the not-surprising goal of building a gloriously successful farm.  While the graphics are fresh, the game feels as if it is designed for a touch screen.  The mouse controls are unwieldy and awkward.  You must feed the animals and keep them clean, or they will run away. 

Each time you buy food, it gets more expensive to buy the next time (very uncool).  It is ridiculously hard to make any money in the beginning of the game.  There is a tutorial, but it is sadly lacking in explanation.

All in all, this is a sim game for folks who like to clean up after dirty animals.  ... It feels like a freemium game gone wrong, or (my perception of) something people would do on social media, or a game you'd play on a smart phone when you are bored out of your mind. 

I give it ZERO stars ... unless somebody comes along and explains to me what I missed.
