I have Broken Sword 3 and 4 ordered and shipped, should arrive by Monday or Tuesday hopefully. I recently finished playing 1 and 2 and totally enjoyed both. Players reactions to 3 and 4 have been rather mixed from great to terrible it seems to me, so I'm gambling on which way I will decide after playing. I do need a George Stobbart fix though so willing to take chances.


To love is to be happy with!

Watchmaker, Broken Sword IV, Conspiraces, one can't have to many adventure games or good books.

Playing Secrets of Da Vinci and Da Vinci Code, and Hauntings of Mystery Manor.

Rereading all of Elizabeth Peters, Egypt books.

I just bought Broken Sword 4, Secrets of the Ark. It's funny the game's programming has a lot of glitches, more than bs3. I think they should have tried to stay with the same engine as bs#3 and not try to improve or change it. Other than that I am happy to be playing this game.

I bowed to necessity the other day and picked up Broken Sword IV, (along with Gothic II for $9.99--but without the expansion...)

BS4 really does have a lot of glitches, but once I got it running stably--or at least marginally so, as it now "only" freezes the computer once every few hours--I had a lot of fun playing it. Hint to anyone finding the game freezes too much: try turning off anti-aliasing by setting it to 0, and leave the resolution at the default values. At least, that worked for me....sort of.

Oh, and not too long ago I picked up a still-shrink-wrapped, boxed copy of Zork: Nemesis for about $8, but with all the hassle trying to get it to run, (mostly involving using CPU slowdown utilities that don't *quite* do what they need to do) I haven't actually finished it....

Now I'm just waiting for Runaway 2, and maybe those Dreamfall "episodes," eventually.

Finally got around to buying Barrow Hill but not inclined to play it over the last few bright sunny days. Ordered Dead Reefs and Ankh2 and acquired Wild Wild West which will have me heading for glitches help.

I wanted Ankh 2 but the others are being bought because of comments made by fellow Gameboomers, so is it my fault lol

I have Delaware 3, Ankh 2 and The Sacred Rings on pre-order, and am waiting (im)patiently for all of them. I have nothing new to play right now and it's driving me bananas!

Yeah well, I'm all out of new games to play :cry12:

Been checking the casual game market, but with already 30 games bought from BigFish within the last 1½ month, I have to cut back a bit, lol

misslilo, at least at 6.99 (I assume you joined the game club if you bought that many) it's a good deal. I'm just about to sit down with a couple I just downloaded. With the holidays, it's a perfect way to steal a few minutes. :happydance12:
