Well Said raylinstephens....very well said! Enough already!!!

I would love to see this game in a store.

When I bought MCF Huntsville and Prime Suspects in Best Buy, when they first came out, I paid $19.99 each for them(still have the price on the box). I did not learn about BigFish gameclub until Ravenhearst.

Can't wait until the 25th and see what Dire Grove has in store for us. I have paid 20-30 dollars for a lot of game in the past 15 or so years of gaming, some even 40 if I really wanted it or it was a present for a birthday or such. This was before BFG gave us wonderful games at great prices. So for one game I will treat myself. I may not get to complete Novemberfest this time. I totally understand the money issue as both my husband and I lost jobs in 2008 and still not earning the same as then, so money can only be spread so far. But I have usually paid at least 20 dollars for most of my adventure games, some I didn't even play because they just didn't suit me, or I haven't even gotten around to yet. So extra fun and the strategy guide to help before the walkthrough or tips are out is worth the money. I just wished that I had the time to replay Ravenhearst and Madame Fate as I did last year and RTR too, to get the story fresh in my mind again. I am so thankful for all the quality games I have gotten from BFG for 6.99 instead of 20 dollars or more, so one game is really not such a bad idea, especially when a short time later it will be 6.99.

So sorry Horsedancer for your loss.

To All,

There are 31 images available on Gamespot Web Site. Looks like the in-game shots were taken from the Collector’s Edition of the game, with the rest being concept art shots. It looks like the game is going to be of the same quality as RTR or better.

Here is what was posted over on Big Fish Forums in regards to what is different between the CE ($19.99) and the regular edition ($6.99).

Wanted to post this so everyone could take a look and make up your own mind as to whether you wanted to wait for a few days or not. It looks to me that it is going to be a Great Game no matter which one you decide to get. As I have said before, just one "old" man's opinion.

Oldman44

The pictures look very intriguing!

Ohhhhhh Oldman44 . I cannot wait for Wednesday. They look great. I usually go to Gamespot all the time, don't know how I missed them. Anyway doesn't matter. Thanks you for posting.
Barbara

Thanks, Oldman

I want the extras like bonus levels and achievements ...

I think I will be paying the $ 19.99

...and I know I will be purchasing on Nov 25th too!

another birthday present for me!! woohoo!!

I also like the idea of the in game strategy guide. Now I won't have to shut down the game the get answers. I did not want to see too many of the screenshots, I want to be surprised(but I did look at a couple). Awesome.

I love the fact that it is winter, I love snowy scenes.

yes! one night to go and then I'm ready for downloading the game. it will be an early christmas present from my husband. for me this will be the game of the year.

Thracia,

Like you, I want to be surprised too I am not looking (I hope I can stand the suspense LOL)

I cannot wait...what time will this be available for us NYers?

Dire Grove goes up at 12:01 a.m. PST on the 25th, so for New York it would be 3:01 a.m. on the 25th.

This game look absolutely fantastic, I like the creepy screenshots on gamespot and the video. I just about missed seeing this because BFG sends me an email and then I ck their site to see if I want the demo, but I'm so glad I checked here and found this announcement.

I'm sooooo excited!!

Marie

I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it,I'm about to lose control and I think I like it.(Pointer Sisters). I think I will be up very early this morning.

Me Too Thracia....I probably will get up at midnight to start playing. Can you believe it? It's just a game. It's like a little kid waiting for Xmas...you know? At my age, I should be ashamed of myself, but I'm not. I'm excited too! I know what you mean.
Barbara

Sly One...We are kids at heart...Don't be ashame....

I am a complete <Nut> when it comes to AG's..

Or in this case casual Adventure gaming

Thanks Darlene...you know what they say, Misery LOVES company.
Barbara

Now that we are getting so close to lift-off with the Dire Grove Collector's Edition, is there anyone in the know who could tell me how large the file size is for this game? I'm really curious!

Sly One, I am just a big kid (with a job).I also look foward to Xmas.Still my favorite time of the year. I am jealous that you live on the West coast, and get to play this 3 hours earlier than us East coasters.

Darleen03, since I started playing these type of games, I have so been neglectig my AG's.

Hi Ana,and Marian, in one of Old Man's posts(page 11) there is a link to the BF blog. There it said 400mb give or take. I wonder what secrets they are talking about?

Hi BFG-GUY, will you be up late too?
