The TGT at Big Fish today is Murder, She Wrote 2: Return to Cabot Cove, which currently has a full four-star rating. The Daily Deal is a game that I initially loved, but came to hate because of the rampant unbelievable situations they put us in: Nightmare on the Pacific. My review is HERE. The game is worth $2.99 if you can put reality aside and just enjoy the gameplay

Alexander the Great: Secrets of Power has been released at both iWin and Big Fish today, but whereas BF only releases the Standard Edition of Playrix games, iWin has released it as a Collector's Edition.

The newest Gogii game has already made it to Big Fish, and Fairy Tale Mysteries: The Puppet Thief is getting widely mixed reviews. This definitely seems to be a love-it or hate-it game, so it should be interesting to see what it's really like! The Daily Deal is a very popular straight HOG by the name of Mystery Legends 1: Sleepy Hollow. I thing this game is most popular with the female crowd, who swoon over the narrator's voice like a Southern belle in the arms of an English gentleman.

iWin now has Hidden Path of Faery. It looks very good, and the fact that it went to GH and iWin first makes me wonder if it will every show up at Big Fish. Something to consider~

Still nothing new at Alawar, but don't forget to check today's Holiday Gift Calendar HERE! Today only you can play New Yankee in King Arthur's Court for FREE.

Steam's Daily Deal is Darkspore for $4.99, and you can click click HERE for GamersGate's four deals.

GameHouse's new release is Pajama Sam - Life is Rough When You Lose Your Stuff, an adventure game for the kids (I assume, anyway ) What a long name for a game!

Alawar's Special Holiday Deal is a 24-hour free-play on The Promised Land.

The TGT at Big Fish looks interesting. Patchworkz is an inlay-type puzzle game, and I love the rich graphics. I'll probably be checking this one out at some point! There's a soft release today, and I must say that I'm shocked that Island Tribe 4 didn't get better billing! This is a highly popular series, after all! The Daily Deal is Waterscape Solitaire: American Falls, and the Catch of the Week is Mystery Legends 3: Beauty and the Beast.

Steam's Daily Deal is Crazy Machines Complete Pack for $19.99, and you can click HERE to see GamersGate's four deals.

Happy gaming!

We have a super-easy update today, as three of the portals released Golden Trails 3: The Guardian's Creed. Now here's the interesting part: The game was made and released as a Standard Edition by Awem back in June... and didn't release the Premium Edition until the end of November. So, for today's' release, Big Fish has released the Standard Edition, and iWin and GameHouse have both released the Premium Edition. Confused? haha, well, just follow the link above -- it's all very clear in the game thread

I forgot to mention that there are TWO soft releases at Big Fish today! The first is Battleship, and the second is Towers of Oz, which seems to be a tower defense game.

Alawar's Special Holiday Deal is a 24-hour free-play on Farm Frenzy 3: Ice Age.

Steam's Daily Deal is The Book of Unwritten Tales, and you can click HERE to see GamersGate's four deals.

At Big Fish, the Collector's Edition of Phantasmat 2: Crucible Peak is out.

This is one of my favorite games, and one I've replayed more than any other game in the genre, so I definitely recommend checking it out!

iWin now has the standard edition of Grim Tales 3: The Wishes, and there's nothing new at GameHouse today.

Alawar now has Towers of Oz, and their Special Holiday Deal is a 24-hour free-play on Sherlock Holmes and the Hound of the Baskervilles, which I cannot believe I do not have a topic on! I will remedy that ASAP!

Happy gaming!

The TGT at Big Fish is the Standard Edition of Forbidden Secrets: Alien Town. This is an outstanding game, and I have NO idea why it's not getting better ratings from those who have reviewed it thus far. You can read my review HERE. The Daily Deal is Redemption Cemetery 2: Children's Plight. The first game in the series was very good, but I haven't tried this one, yet. Surely it's worth $2.99, though! BF is running a weekend promo that will get you a free Big Fish keychain with the purchase of any Collector's Edition.

GameHouse, too, is running a weekend promo, with "Exclusive Premium Bundles" available until Monday. Go HERE for the details. The Premium Edition of Golden Trails 3: The Guardian's Creed is showing as a new release today, but I already had the link up in the thread... color me confused!

Steam's Daily Deal Transcripted for $2.49, and you can click HERE to see GamersGate's four deals.

The TGT at Big Fish is Twilight School, a game that is getting thoroughly panned by the crowd at Big Fish. My impression is that it's an IHOG-lite; heavy on the hidden object scenes. In other words, more like the way these games were several years ago. If you buy the TGT today, you get a free Big Fish mouse pad. That makes it worth it for me! I didn't even demo the game. Even if I don't like it, my daughter will love it, and the mouse pad will make a great gift for my SiL! There is also a soft release of Oozi Earth Adventure, a cute-looking platformer. I actually love this type of game, and it's getting full marks at the moment, so I'll be adding a topic shortly. The Daily Deal is Entwined: Strings of Deception, which I'm pretty sure I own, but can remember absolutely nothing about! haha

GameHouse now has Finders Keepers Christmas, and iWin has gotten a match-3 game by the name of Holiday Bonus: Gold Edition.

The TGT is the standard edition Weird Park 2: Scary Tales, and the Daily Deal is Unlikely Suspects. Today only you can use the code ONEDAY to get 30% off of all games.

GameHouse now has Atlantis - Pearls of the Deep, which is a marble dropper-type of match-3, and which also has some scattered hidden object scenes.

Steam's Daily Deal is Shad'O for $4.99, and you can click HERE to see GamersGate's four deals. One of the deals is Bastion, which is an action-RPG with some gorgeous graphics.

That's it for now! Happy gaming~!

The TGT at Big Fish is Detective Quest: The Crystal Slipper, a new one from Elephant Games. It apparently has a very short demo, but that doesn't necessarily mean that it's a short game, overall. If you're unsure, wait to see what those who've finished the game are saying If you purchase today, you'll earn a bonus punch on your card, always a nice thing. There is a soft release of Demolition Master 3D: Holidays, which seems to be a puzzle game where you blow things up... Imagine that! The Daily Deal is Golden Trails 1: The New Western Rush.

GameHouse now has the Platinum Edition of Forbidden Secrets: Alien Town, a game which I highly recommend. Click HERE to see my review.

The Platinum Edition of Delicious 8: Emily's Wonder Wedding is now out at iWin, and this is another game I highly recommend... assuming that you're a TM fan See my review HERE.

Alawar now has Dragon Crossroads at their place, and today's Special Holiday Deal is a 24-hour free-play on Ski Resort Mogul.

Steam's Daily Deal is Grotesque Tactics 1 and 2 Pack for $3.74, and you can click HERE to see GamersGate's four deals.

Happy gaming!

Another late start today, sorry about that. Had to lie back down for a few hours~

The TGT at Big Fish is the Standard Edition of Brink of Consciousness 2: The Lonely Hearts Murders. I bought the CE, and haven't even had a chance to try it yet! There is a soft release -- Santa Vs. Banker, which looks to be an arcade platformer. The Daily Deal is Mountain Crime: Requital, a game WELL worth full price, so a steal at $2.99! You can see my review HERE if you like~

The new game at GameHouse is Inception of Darkness: Exorcist 3.

iWin now has the Collector's Edition of Forbidden Secrets: Alien Town.
