Have just finished playing The Awakened. What a great game.

I have Broken Sword 3 and 4 ordered and shipped, should arrive by Monday or Tuesday hopefully. I recently finished playing 1 and 2 and totally enjoyed both. Players reactions to 3 and 4 have been rather mixed from great to terrible it seems to me, so I'm gambling on which way I will decide after playing. I do need a George Stobbart fix though so willing to take chances.
To love is to be happy with!

I bowed to necessity the other day and picked up Broken Sword IV, (along with Gothic II for $9.99--but without the expansion...)
BS4 really does have a lot of glitches, but once I got it running stably--or at least marginally so, as it now "only" freezes the computer once every few hours--I had a lot of fun playing it. Hint to anyone finding the game freezes too much: try turning off anti-aliasing by setting it to 0, and leave the resolution at the default values. At least, that worked for me....sort of.
Oh, and not too long ago I picked up a still-shrink-wrapped, boxed copy of Zork: Nemesis for about $8, but with all the hassle trying to get it to run, (mostly involving using CPU slowdown utilities that don't *quite* do what they need to do) I haven't actually finished it....
Now I'm just waiting for Runaway 2, and maybe those Dreamfall "episodes," eventually.

Finally got around to buying Barrow Hill but not inclined to play it over the last few bright sunny days. Ordered Dead Reefs and Ankh2 and acquired Wild Wild West which will have me heading for glitches help. I wanted Ankh 2 but the others are being bought because of comments made by fellow Gameboomers, so is it my fault

I have Delaware 3, Ankh 2 and The Sacred Rings on pre-order, and am waiting (im)patiently for all of them. I have nothing new to play right now and it's driving me bananas!

I think I'm just about up-to-date with recent hauls with just a couple of games to order & waiting for including Jack Keaane. Still in the stack to play: Darkness within (that's next!), Ghost in the Sheet, The Secrets of Atlantis, Delaware St John 3, Ankh 2, Sacred Rings, Ugly Prince Duckling, SH Arsene Lupine, Next Life, Undercover Operation Wintersun Anacapri CSI Hard Evidence & The Experiment (okay, wasn't going to buy that but my finger just slipped to the buy button!  ) Then there's also some older games I've been coming across here & there ...... I don't think I'm going to be gameless for some time!

Yeah well, I'm all out of new games to play :cry12:
Been checking the casual game market, but with already 30 games bought from BigFish within the last 1½ month, I have to cut back a bit, lol

misslilo, at least at 6.99 (I assume you joined the game club if you bought that many) it's a good deal. I'm just about to sit down with a couple I just downloaded. With the holidays, it's a perfect way to steal a few minutes. :happydance12:

I am working my way through So Blonde , great game, and during my vacation I plan to work my way through the remaining and maybe by New Year's Eve I will be through and ready for the new releases coming out for 2009.
