I know I should wait until our fabulous Mod has posted a new game post, but after a spate of time management games BFG have got this Collectors Edition and I got a little excited, but it won't download. I am confident BFG will get a fix if it is required, I just want confirmation that it isn't just me.

I have downloaded this game and find it is very sluggish....runs quite slow. I am able to play the game regardless of the speed. I suspect it may be straining my system. I am on XP or I may need to update directx. Will go try some things before I pass judgement. There is a skip feature, the penalty for that is 5 miniute delay in the hint recharging. The game offers many nice features.

I've even tried sneaking up on it and pressing the download button when it least expects it. It's knows I'm there!!! Patience isn't one of my virtues.

Did the try it version and that worked fine. Anyone read any of the briar rose novels? Just curious if they are good.
Never resist a generous impulse.

Downloaded and finished the demo, didn't have any problem. Interesting game, story, liked the mini games, not too difficult but entertaining. The only downside for me is looking for the parts of the objects, not my favorite type of HOG.
Why resist temptation? There will always be more. Don Herold.

OMG! It's downloading. I think BFG have come to the rescue. I'd just taken Cards of Destiny out of it's cellophane and was ready to rock! Don't know what to do now... I hate not having a new game waiting for me. P.S. Thanks Marian

I played the hour demo, but now I can't buy the game. When I click on the purchase link it takes me back to the screen telling me that my demo time is up. Hey cris53, I just received my Cards of Destiny game today, and my Ghost Pirates of Vooju Island arrived last week, but I can't really get into playing it, so I guess I'll be opening up Cards of Destiny.I'm like you--can't stand to be "gameless".

Finally got to buy the game. The servers must have been busy

Hi Doreen, finished the demo and the hour just flew by so I'll buy. I feel as though BFG deserves my pennies on the collectors editions from time to time. I too struggled to get into Ghost Pirates, there were too many places to investigate straight away. I had a peek at the walk through and realised you played as the character you started with, just using the inventory faces to obtain information from them and you didn't have to flit from person to person and it got better. I finished it this morning and enjoyed it. I did suffer from long loading times and stuttery cut scenes but that just may have been down to my computer.

The problem with the downloading, as it turns out, was a server issue at Big Fish. Whether or not you experienced the problem depended on which server you got directed to for the download; in other words, the luck of the draw. This had happened to me before with a different game, where I and some people had trouble downloading and others did not. I hope everyone enjoys the game.

I haven't heard any mention of morphing objects in Dark Parables like in Dire Grove so far. I liked them too!
