Games, Games, Games! So Many Games! (News)

Lots of stuff going on today!

At Big Fish we have Fairly Twisted Tales: The Price Of A Rose, which is getting pretty good reviews from the BF crowd. The Daily Deal is Mirror Mysteries, which is a good game, but it has a game-stopping glitch if you do something in the wrong order, so be warned! All Blue Tea Games -- including the CE's! -- are half-off this weekend, using the coupon code BLUE. In my opinion, Blue Tea makes some of the very best games available, so check 'em out if you don't already have 'em all!

OK, so my errands took a lot longer than I'd expected! haha

The TGT at Big Fish is Dr. Mal: Practice of Horror, a Fairway Solitaire-type of game which is getting some mixed reviews. It seems like it's more geared at humor than difficulty, so if that's your thing, check it out On the plus side, you get a bonus punch on your card if you purchase today. The Daily Deal is Pizza Chef 2, which is a Match-3/TM combo, and which I bought without trying (loved the first one!) The Catch of the Week is the most excellent Mystery Stories 3: Mountain of Madness. This is one of my favorite games, definitely recommended. Click HERE to check out my review.

The TGT at Big Fish is the Standard Edition of Fishdom 3. Highly recommended if you don't already have the CE There is a soft release of The Curse of the Werewolves, and only a few people have reviewed it thus far, so I'm not really sure about the quality of the game.

iWin now has the Standard Edition of Margrave 4: The Blacksmith's Daughter, and today Alawar is doing something a little different for their Special Holiday Deal: Five Collector's Editions are on sale for 1/2 off. I've played two of them: Sacra Terra and Brink of Consciousness, and both are worth full price for the CE's. In other words, AWESOME deal!

The Collector's Edition of Lake House: Children of Silence is now out at Big Fish. This game is by Alawar, and I'm not surprised to see that it has a full 5-star rating at the moment. The Daily Deal is Shiver 2: Poltergeist. The first Shiver was incredible, but I haven't tried this one yet. Another to-be-played game, what else is new?

The TGT at Big Fish is the Standard Edition of The Beast of Lycan Isle. The Daily Deal is Joan Jade and the Gates of Xibabla, a game which I really enjoyed, despite the formulaic gameplay, and which has some great unexpected humor. BF is running the MCF sale again, this time for the SE buyers of Mystery Case Files: Shadow Lake. Buy today and get any other MCF SE's for $2.99 each, using the code MCF.

GameHouse now has the PE of Dark Arcana: The Carnival, but what I want to know is what extras are in this premium edition (which BF didn't get!) >_< Great game, btw!

The TGT at Big Fish is the CE of Spirits of Mystery 3: The Dark Minotaur. If you buy today, you can get the either or both of the previous SE's for $2.99 each using the code SPIRITS. The Daily Deal is G.H.O.S.T Chronicles: Phantom of the Renaissance Faire, a game which I kind of enjoyed, but it was missing that little something that would make it a truly great game for me. Still, at $2.99 it's worth checking out~

Alawar has a new TM/Strategy game out, and Meridian: Age of Invention looks like a good one to me!

Also a TM/Strategy, A Gnome's Home: The Great Crystal Crusade is now out at iWin.

I'm a bit under the weather, hence the lack of update yesterday. No worries, though, all of the information will be added to this single post~

New at Big Fish yesterday was The Missing 2: Island of Lost Ships. The first one was released as a CE, but I guess not enough people bought that version to warrant making this one anything but a SE. Shame, I enjoyed The Missing 1 very much . The TGT is the Collector's Edition of Nightmare Realm 2: In the End.... I've been waiting for this one! I hope that it's as good as the first one! Today's Daily Deal is Azada 3: In Libro, which I think is a puzzle-adventure game (could be mistaken, of course )

Now out at iWin are the Standard Editions of both Redemption Cemetery 3: Grave Testimony and Golden Trails 3: The Guardian's Creed.

Steam's special deals are HERE, click HERE to see GamersGate's deals, and click HERE to see GOG's deals. Big Fish is running a 2012 Customer Favorite Awards promo, where you can get the SE of 60 games for $4.99 each using the code WINNER.

Nothing new happening elsewhere, but it's early, so something could always pop up later.

Happy gaming!

The TGT at Big Fish is King Oddball, a puzzle-arcade game. The Daily Deal is
World`s Greatest Cities Mahjong, and the Catch of the Week is Reincarnations 3: Back to Reality. I enjoyed the first two games in the series, but haven't had a chance to play this third one, yet.

GameHouse's new game today is Learn to Play Chess with Fritz & Chesster 2, and they still have some holiday games on sale for $2.99.

iWin now has the Collector's Edition of Gothic Fiction: Dark Saga at their place.

GameHouse now has the SE of Golden Trail: Guardian's Creed, and iWin has Be Richest!

Jigsaw BOOM is now out at GameHouse, and iWin now has the extended edition of The Three Musketeers (which is by HdO.)

There's a new game out at Alawar, Deadly Voltage: Rise of the Invincible. It will likely be out at Big Fish in the next three weeks or so~

The holiday deals are finished at GOG, but they're still running at Steam and GamersGate.

Happy gaming, and I'll try to post MUCH earlier tomorrow

Missed a day, didn't I? *snicker*

Yesterday and today we got standard editions at Big Fish: Phantasmat 2: Crucible Peak and Detective Quest: The Crystal Slipper, respectively. Today's Daily Deal is Shattered Minds 2: Encore. BF is running another 1/2 price sale: CE's are $9.99 using the code NEW, and SE's are $4.99 using the code YEAR.

GameHouse and iWin now both have World Mosaics 6.

Steam and GamersGate are both still at it with the holiday sales, so be sure to check 'em out whilst you can

Happy gaming!

The TGT at Big Fish is Cursed Fates: The Headless Horseman (known as Sleepy Hollow: The Headless Horseman during beta.) The Daily Deal is Haunted Past: Realm of Ghosts, which I remember nothing about, but which has some pretty good reviews! Looks like a solid game, and a good deal at $2.99.

iWin has a dual release of Ashes of Immortality 1 and the Collector's Edition of Dark Parables 4: The Red Riding Hood Sisters.

Nothing new at Alawar or GameHouse, but Steam and GamersGate are still going with the holiday deals! Steam's got a "Best of" promo, and there are some great offers in there.

Happy gaming!

New at Big Fish today is a Tycoon-like SIM by the name of Ancient Rome 2. Get an extra punch if you buy today. The Daily Deal is Pyramid Pays Slots II, and the Catch of the Week is Echoes of the Past 3: The Citadels of Time.

GameHouse now has the Platinum Edition of Angelica Weaver: Catch Me When You Can. I still don't know the difference between their Platinum and Premium editions, though I suspect that one you can play on their FunPass ("free" unlimited play) subscription, and the other you can't... Just don't know which is which.

The Witch's Green Amulet is a game I know absolutely nothing about, but you can now find it at iWin. I like the rich colors of the screens, so hopefully it's one of those (now) rare straight to SE games that is of good quality. I'll try it when it gets to Big Fish

The holiday deals at Steam are still running, and the daily deal at GamersGate is ArmA 2 Combined Operations for $14.98.

Happy gaming!

I'm a FunPass subscriber at GH and can play Premium Editions with it there, but not Platinum Editions.
Platinum Editions must be bought, but members get 30% off the retail price of $19.99. They can use their FunTickets on them (something on the "normal" subscription like BFG's monthly game credit), 2 of them actually, and FunPass subscribers can also use their coins (a so-called sign-in bonus) via game coupons, but just to a certain degree.
I haven't found out yet, whether there are differences between the game versions with regard to contents, but from the game descriptions, I think rather not.

If this doesn't belong here, feel free to move or delete it.

Thanks, DD! No reason to move it, just copied it to a new thread. It's good info to have in both places

So I was bad yesterday and didn't make an update... not that a whole lot was going on

The Match-3 released at BF yesterday, Panda Gourmet, has gotten some pretty lackluster reviews. People want to have a lot of interaction with their games nowadays, and don't really appreciate the more simple games, anymore. I made a topic here despite that, because I happen to know people who prefer their match-3's without all the bells and whistles! Besides, it looks cute Today's TGT is Rush on Rome, which looks like a Tower Defense game to me. There's also a soft release of the classic-style RPG, Victim of Xen. This one actually came out at Amaranth back in March, 2012, so I'm sure those who've been waiting for it to show up at BF are happy. Today's Daily Deal is Once Upon a Time in Chicago, which I believe is a casino-type arcade game.

Nothing new at GameHouse or Alawar at the moment, but iWin got Fierce Tales: The Dog's Heart yesterday.

At the time of this posting, there were 9+ hours left at Steam to get Postal 2 for $7.49. GamersGate's Daily Deal is The Last Remnant for $3.75.

Happy gaming!
