Actually, I wish, that if they must do the smartphone thing they'd do android, then I would have something on my phone for moments of extreme boredom (usually waiting for doctors).
But I seriously hope these F2P damn games will disappear, or at least not start replacing our pc games because I am NEVER going to pay for a game that is allegedly free! Besides, as far as I'm concerned, it's no better than gambling, in fact, worse, because at least gambling there MIGHT be a payoff as well as keeping yourself amused.
Hmmm, chatty today, aren't I?

I just beta tested a new Gogii game that looks good (thank you! thank you!
thank you!)
btw, I now get beta tests quite often and even from big fish!
The Emerald Maiden: Symphony of Dreams
Fantastic art deco, throughout the ultimate entertainment house complete with ballroom that has ceiling frescos like something out of the Cistene Chapel.
And marvellous worlds where you can make your dreams come true - for a price.
Don't know about it being dark and eerie, but it sure as heck is colourful and eerie.

Wow, two games from my favorite developer - Alawar. Yippee!!
Oh man, I wonder if Esoterica: Hollow Earth is by the same team that did the sci-fi HOPA, Eternal Journey: New Atlantis. If it is, it'll be an instant buy!

Got an e-mail from Orchid Games with the following:
Orchid Games wrote:There's one project we've been quietly working on for a long time and we'll be announcing it in January, I think. It's a hidden object adventure game, titled Graven: The Purple Moon Prophecy. We haven't spoken about this at all yet, but just for you I have the very first screenshot. It's a bit different from our previous adventures and I hope you'll like it.

If you do not recognize the studio, they are the ones behind Nameriel Legends, Dreamscapes, Sea Legends and the latest Fall of the New Age which has just released as SE on Big Fish Games today.
This new game is called "Witches' Pranks: Frog's Fortune", i have no idea what the game is about but the title sounds promising to me, and judging by the videos, it looks like a fantasy themed game. The beta is not being sent out yet, anyways, the game should be available on Playrix before any other portals just as the previous games by this developer did.

and another one, this time from Artifex Mundi's site:
You can now watch the teaser for Deadlings, an upcoming game by Nimbi Studios and Artifex Mundi, where Death talks about his everyday struggles and loneliness.
The exclusive interview is available here.
If you’d like to become a fan of the Not So Grim Reaper and cheer him up a bit, head over to official fan page.
Interesting that they have the same kind of 3D graphics!

Oh checked out the interview! Fabulous!!!!! This is all very Terry Pratchett, isn't it? And the best concept Pratchett ever came up with among the 100s of clever ideas he had, was the one that death is lonely. I think I am wanna be president of Death's fan club!!

Take care of yourself - I need you to keep me in touch with the rest of the gaming world outside big fish. It's still too scary out there for this little minnow to be on her own!

Hi gang!
I have a whole batch of beta testing I snitched from pond friends, and I always write up a couple of paras for myself. Would anyone be interested in a "beta" thread underneath this one?
Or I could just start up a game page. But some of these betas never happen...
