What Game Are You Playing Now

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...

It's the bl**dy cold weather HandsFree!!

Yes, I heard that a big game shipment was slightly delayed due to some inclement weather...

That would delay a shipment

Put Shivers onhold for awhile. Now playing Lost Horizon. It is a fantastic game so far.

..................................... Oops! Wrong thread!

I have to drive into East Los Angeles every day for work, so I run into many a truck during my daily travels. Boy oh boy, some of these drivers are very inexperienced and/or just plain lazy/careless/clueless, etc. Just in the past 6 months, a truck has jackknifed on the freeway transition that I use each day, thus royally messing up my commute while they try to get the truck back upright, heh.

Got done playing Fatal Frame 1 and have started 2 (Crimson Butterfly). Truly magnificient, but extremely scary games. Have #3 in the waiting.

Still Live 2 was on hold since 11-25 when my A/C adapter for my laptop stopped working. IT took Dell 2 months and a dozen changes in my ship date until I received my new one. ( doubt I will ever buy a Dell again, terrible customer service) anyway.... I finally finished it last week.... I was hitting the space bar(I think) to skip through some dialog ... but otherwise enjoyed it. I now have Ceville and Darkness Within 2 loaded and started Ceville.... since I don't have much time right now I don't want to start and stop Darkness.....

I just finished Puzzle Agent. I enjoyed it a lot, I'm not sure where all the mediocre reviews were coming from. I almost got a perfect score, only got 7/10 on 3 puzzles and used no hints. In retrospect, it was a bit easy but I only paid $1 for it during a Steam sale so I more than got my money's worth!

I also completed The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass on the DS. I got a warm fuzzy feeling upon completing that game; I love the Zelda games.

bonsai, I've played Fatal Frame 2 as well! Quite possibly the scariest game I've ever played, though Amnesia might beat it.

"... a warm fuzzy feeling ..." after finishing a game? Now that's just about the best recommendation I can think of for checking out a game that I might like. I have a DS, as it happens, so I will take a closer look and maybe even try the game, if I feel daring enough. Is it an RPG with a lot of action, which is what it looks like to me? And the reason why I have never even considered trying it.

I have been reaching out lately and trying a new, for me, casual game. It's Aveyond: The Darkthrop Prophecy and it's a Strategy game with some fighting in it. I haven't got the hang of it yet, I'm in a learning curve, but I find myself enjoying it more and more as I continue playing. So, Magoozelle, you have now got me to thinking about Zelda! I haven't completely abandoned Adventure games, but I haven't been able to find anything since Lost Horizon that even remotely appeals to me. So branching out into other genres seems to be a viable way to go, at least for now.

I've got Still Life 2 on deck . IN all the time I've had it , it had been in my "to play" pile . I've been playing Dead Space . So far , so good ! I think after Still Life 2 , I may play Darkness Within , both games .

I think Tomb of Zojir was Williams best game to date. I am disappointed that the next one will be in 3rd person as it takes away from the jump factor. I'll still play it but much prefer being in the game that watching it.

While waiting for Barron Wittard to release I am replaying another Indie first person game and enjoying at as much as the first time around... Rhiannon: Curse of the Four Branches.

I recieved my cd copy of Jolly Rover this past friday. I was in limbo with a couple of console games so I decided to try bowl the game over quickly.
It took my roughly 1 day on and off to beat it, in between cleaning and cooking and gardening. All in all a pretty solid offering by Brawsome, even though it was a little on the easy side. Great art style, and great sound/voicework, allthough some of the animations were kind of strange. The only thing that bothered me was the word "blaggard" in the subtitles.

I am currently playing The Neverhood. It is much harder and I am terribly stuck at this moment. Interesting music aswell.

The Neverhood is one of my all time favs Mullane. Stick at it. It's worth it.

Every time I hear the word Neverhood that theme song enters my head and will not leave.......arrrrgh!

I am actually one who doesn't think the Neverhood is an adventure game. More a trial and error casual game IMO. Its more in line with Machinariun, Samarost, Alchemia and the like which I also don't consider adventures.

Ok, bring it on. Just don't throw any fruit.

I hate those garbage first-person games, are they even real adventures??

And what about those second person games....geeeesh!

They are just an exercise in monotony. I don't bother with anything below the fourth person.

I thought Alchemia was a charming little adventure.

Finished Baron Wittard: Nemesis of Ragnarok a few days ago and after searching to no avail for any game that might hold my interest I decide to give Alternativa a try.

GreyFuss you rasically ole Grue where did you get Baron Wittard. I'm still waiting for my Baron Wittard to arrive

You can download Baron Wittard from The Adventure Shop. Still waiting for Interact to deliver my hardcopy too.

Ahhh download of course. I understand Dave is stocking some games now maybe hopefully fingers crossed Baron Wittard is one of them. Were ther plenty of puzzles in Baron Wittard ? Easy, hard, just right ?
