Sinking Island arrived last night ... I had previously downloaded it, and the activation key was sent by email

This looks like another winner from B.Sokal, who gave us the two Syberia games. I only played for about ten minutes, and it looks very diffferent, but I hope just as good

Menahune -- did you download the game from the Microids site?

Sherryah and Becky

I downloaded this from Microids about a month ago. It was due to be released on August 12, and they would send an activation key then

If you were to download it now, there wouldn't be a delay.

I've played a bit more now and find that I get impatient with all the dialogue ... there's a lot. Let us know what you think

Ireland, wow. I'm sending this at 8pm PST and it's probably 4am your time. Good morning

Has anyone seen it on US Retail shelves yet? I did a Best Buy search and they don't list it online yet.

Thanks,

Dadguy

Maybe they had an agreement not to distribute on their site after it was given to other publishers?

finished the game late (very late) last night ... very good detective story, interesting character develpment, and the voices are great too

the cinematics are breathtaking ... there is a section at the finish where you can view the intro and the "outro" again ... even the credits are worth viewing again for the background cinematics

sorry to hear the download is no longer available ... does that mean you'll have to buy the cd version? ho hum, and then wait for it to be delivered ... quelle drag

by the way, don't you think Kolio looks like Gerard Depardieu?

Thanks kathrynrose --

Games Planet has a nice selection of adventure games to be downloaded here.

Have you downloaded games from them before? I'm not familiar with them -- they appear to be UK-based.

No I havent downloaded from them yet, however I agree they do have a lot of great games. They also take paypal which makes things easier. Unfortunately or fortunately however, one looks at it, I have a lot of games yet to play and I promised myself no more till I get some of these done:)

Has anyone else ever used Games Planet? Any impression of them as a gaming portal?

EDIT: It looks like you can download Sinking Island at The Adventure Shop here:

http://adventureshop.gamesplanet.com/US/produit.html?product_id=668&category_id=14

I know some GBers have used the Adventure Shop. Has the experience been a good one?

Ah -- it looks like The Adventure Shop is actually associated in some way with Games Planet. :lightbulb: I mean idea

They seem to be associated with the Adventuregamers website.
