Thanks for the link Ana. I just played the demo. It's only 40 minutes but it looks like a fantastic game.

Played the demo - it was great but I find a lot of the items hard to find, kind of small, could just be me tho.

I don't remember the first Magician's Handbook being an IHOG.
Am I mis-remembering or does this one have upgraded gameplay?

Re: The Magician's Handbook II: BlackLore IHOG Released!!! - 06/22/09 12:13 AM

It is upgraded...I think they did a great job!

Thanks Ana, for letting us know about the game. I enjoyed the origional one, but really excited about the improvement of Interactive Hog. Do you think Real Arcade will have it soon? Also does the characters have a voice? Is this a safe site to download from because I never heard of it before? Thanks in advance for all your answers.

Re: The Magician's Handbook II: BlackLore IHOG Released!!! - 06/22/09 04:12 PM

This is straight from the developer, I am sure the other portals will have soon. The site is quite safe or I would never have posted.

I don't remember if it had a voice, sorry.

Thanks Ana, this is a delightful game. I am waiting for it to hit the other portals. There was no speech so I can only imagine what the fairy would have sounded like. The objects sure are tiny though, really need a magnifying glass to be included in my opinion.

I thought I would bump up this thread in order to let people know that it was posted on the Big Fish forums today that this game will be released on Big Fish this week.

I just downloaded the one too. I ejoyed the first one as well. BFG has come through with some great new games lately. I always end up needing more credits.

I don't care for this one so much. The areas are so messy and the items are very hard to see. The graphics don't seem clear or something. Not sure I'll buy this one.

It's a HOG but has some different twists to it that I know those of you with young eyes will love.

I haven't had any pixelation with this game at all, but some folks on the Big Fish forum were experiencing this. Changing screen resolutions helped them.

The developer is also posting on Big Fish and seems more than happy to help with any questions/problems with the game.

I'm enjoying it.

I don't have any pixelation either but the graphics are not exactly clear. I would not call them fuzzy - just a bit blurry around the edges or something- hard to describe it. I think it is compounded because the screens are so cluttered.

I am enjoying the game other than that issue.

Re: The Magician's Handbook II: BlackLore IHOG Released!!! - 07/03/09 08:45 AM

I bought the game and didn't have any problem with the graphics. They are beautiful, clear and animation is really cool to watch. I have a vista 32 home premium os and set my resolution to 1024x 768 if that helps anyone. I like the added touch of finding the keys and opening the treasure chests. The one thing I don't like is the objects can be very tiny, and really needed to add a magnifying glass for some objects.
