I found this article on the All About Casual Games website and wanted to share it with our casual-game players. It's a nice selection and I think they made some good choices. You might find something of interest that you would like to play.

I especially enjoyed ghe Charlaine Harris games. I think there were just two of them. Wish there were more.

It worked better on an older computer with an older version of Windows. That's not always the case for older HOP's. Certainly I had no issues with the Sweeney Todd game. That was an odd one though, with the musical interludes. I replayed Mountain Crime: Requital not long ago. It was not as good as I'd remembered it.

I only know of one Charlaine Harris game also. More were planned but sadly it never happened.
I thought Dark Alleys: Penumbra Motel was a fun one. It also used some full-motion video.
Nearwood was excellent and is worth the price just for the Main Menu (check it out and you will see what I mean). Was there a CE version of the Charlaine Harris with a bonus chapter or maybe a story within the story? For some reason I’m recalling two stories. But it’s been quite a while.

Sparkle, no CE version, unless somewhere other than Big Fish was selling it. I don't remember hearing of such a thing. I think this game had four episodes in it, if I am remembering correctly. It's been quite a while since I've played it, too. I notice on the BF download page for Dying for Daylight it does not even list Windows 7. That made me curious, so I just downloaded the game onto my Windows 7 computer and it runs perfectly. You guys are all too good - I thought there might be some titles on that list that you didn't know about, but apparently there were few, if any.

Thanks Marian! I can't get to the list right now as I am getting a "host error", but I'll keep trying. I'm curious to see it.
Jenny, if you're talking about Penny Dreadfuls: Sweeney Todd, I have that game on disc and seem to remember really liking it a lot. I think I'll have to give it a replay.
Edit: Got a look. Eight of those game not in my library plus one other mentioned in one of the descriptions. May have to add them to my "to buy list".
