What Game Are You Playing Now

Awww...Winfrey..Sorry you got that bad ol bug and that it is interfering with gaming. You have plenty of soft PUFFS? Be better soon.

Oh winfrey I am so sorry to hear that nasty Tn bug got you. Drink a nice hot toddy and get plenty of rest so you can get back to computering soon

How could I forget to suggest the hot toddy?? Geesh...you are on top of it Hats.

Finished Blue Madonna and I am now into Time Warrior: The Armageddon Device and so far it is my kind of game. First person, solo exploration, point & click, Sci Fi adventure.

Well I finished Ghost Pirates of Vooju Island, funny (kind of) little game. I just loaded and played about the first 10 minutes of Heaven. Hmmm how should I say this... I did realize it would have references to religion ..heaven.. and such but I guess I was not expecting the amount and extreme references!!! I won't go into religion here... enough to say I spent many years in Catholic classes and church.... but this reminded me of the few weeks I spent with a friend visiting her mother who happened to work at a Christian conference community. I have only played about 10 15 minutes but this might be one game I place on the back burner... I want to play a game not hear God is Good.... God is Great..... on and on every time I click on that buxom high heeled grandma..... I just wanted puzzles.........

Hi winfrey, hope you are feeling better.

So in other words you felt like you were back in catechism class with Sister Mary Margret and not playing an adventure game (Heaven) I had been wondering about that game.

I know Winfrey's take on Heaven is different from mine, but really, from the first few minutes of gameplay of Heaven, I cannot wait to go to the real thing! Best of all, disabilities won't exist in Heaven any longer, everyone is happy, and we have everything that we could possibly want/wish for in Heaven, and Heaven is a perfect place where mistakes don't exist, nothing ever breaks down or becomes obsolute, etc.

What's more, I'll probably look like my avatar when I'm in Heaven, and have superpowers to boot!

Well I just noticed that Genesis Works has lowered the $34.95 original asking price down to $14.95 and is still including free worldwide shipping. Now that's at least one good reason to choose Heaven since deep down in reality I suspect it most likely will be my only and closest chance.

So, no puzzles in Heaven? I guess that sounds plausible with there being no stress and all. Oh wait, never mind, I seem to have lost my train of thought.

Gee, I remember paying $35 for it plus s & h back in Aug. of 2009. But let me tell you - there are puzzles in this game - a total of 5 puzzles, but each puzzle is made up of multiple steps. I know, b/c I saw the w/t.

What kind of puzzles are they ?

Completed Time Warrior: The Armageddon Device and have started Tale of a Hero

GreyFuss how are you finding the game play of Tale of a Hero so far ? I've been really curious about this game. The screen shots look beautiful. Is there English dialog ?

hatshepsut

As far as I know Tale of a Hero is download only and in Italian. It was only recently that they created a patch that changed all the dialog and the in game text into English

Thanks GreyFuss. Looks like I will continue to wait for a boxed English version.

A while back the devs linked me to this w/t when I wanted to play it and was stuck. I never got around to printing it out until just now. Check it out, please -

About an hour ago I was playing Frankenstein Through the Eyes of the Monster, and believe it or not, I was fast enough to snag that green crystal!

I'm sorry to say hatshepsut, but you may be waiting for a very long time for the above to happen. The developers said as much...

hi lakerz

I read yesterday what the developer said about not finding a NA publisher so I guess it's download or nothing. To bad about apparently not getting a boxed release, it looks like a very good game.

I downloaded Broken Sword 2.5 and am having fun. I just played Broken Sword 1 and 2 this summer so the areas are very familiar...nice he did it as a freebie

It's excellent isn't it?

So much dedication must have gone into creating that. It's not a short game either.

Glad you are having a good time with Broken Sword 2.5 winfrey. I haven't played it yet. I loved Broken Sword 1 and 2.

After finishing Tale of a Hero I am now playing A Quiet Weekend in Capri.

Amazingly enough, Lost Horizon *finally* arrived in the mail! It only took over a month for it to get from the UK to California, hehe. Good thing, I was just about to contact them and try to get my money back for a lost shipment. Now I don't have to bother with that and can just spend my time playing.

I did some shopping last month and only now the international packages are arriving.
I buy a lot of games overseas and it never took so long. And this is not one isolated case, it's all of them. Strange...

Wow! Lucky you!
