Not admitting defeat... is the beginning of the solution. But sometimes asking for help is not a bad idea! ==================================

Darlene, Just my opinion, but I would recommend Overclocked. It is very dark and atmospheric. Not for kids. Point/click dialog driven story. The story follows a logical progression. Nice graphics. A rather short game overall. I enjoyed playing it, but thought the ending was kind of weird.

My local Best Buy has about a dozen copies of Overclocked. I didn't buy it because I'm in a drawing for it at another site. That and since they had fewer copies of Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened I decided to get it instead.
