All casual games were 19.99 for years, maybe they should have left it at that. No one had any issues about that.

Hooray for you Tigre. Way to go. I feel the same. Some are still that much. Just check out The retail stores and other popular casual game sites.

I'm really enjoying the game and don't regret what I paid for it. I'm now in the Rue Morgue and the game gets more adventure-y as it goes along. Beautiful graphics and music; it's all very soothing.

Big Fish has been SO generous to me, and this month was a particularly good month in that regard. On top of two free games for the Novemberfest, I won another free game on the Big Fish forums and was also given a game credit for a game that didn't want to download properly for me--and I hadn't even bought the game! I was more than happy to give Big Fish an extra $13 for this new CE.

Thanks Carla and Marian. Despite the fact I had to forgo this one because of a series of unforeseen expenses the last couple months, I will get it later when I can. I for one am happy there are quality games being developed. :yay12:

HIP HIP HOORAY Ana.....I so agree with all of you and maybe they should have stayed at 19.99 when no one complained then. I also am enjoying it immensely. I feel bad that Darlene03 may have taken my comments as negative, but that really was not my intent. The game is Great and I'm not even thinking about the 20.00 bucks, just the fact that I am playing an awesome game and having loads of fun. When you do get it Ana, you will enjoy it.

Hi, Guys...

Didn't mean to cause a STIR !!! I am sure its a Good game :happydance12:

I just won't be spending $ 20.00 for it..

I agree with katbear. $20.00 for a casual game download is too much. When you buy it at a retail store at least it's on a CD. I started playing the caual games only becaues of BFG $7.00 price, otherwise I would continue only the full adventure games.

I have just finished Rue Morgue. It was a good game, I enjoyed it, but unfortunately I played it after just playing 3 Cards to Midnight and Dire Grove. It didn't stand up to those 2 games in my opinion...and as we all know, we look for different things in gaming. I found the puzzles too easy, and the added content did not "turn me on" so to speak. As I say a good game but if I'd played a trial I probably would have waited for the regular priced game. I loved 3 Cards and Dire Grove...I liked Rue Morgue.

Jody :santa:

Sorry Ana,
I had no idea they were originally that costly,
have only had a membership since Feb. '08
and guess I must be spoiled.

I bought this today and I am really enjoying it. An excellent game - well worth the money!

What I appreciate about BFG is if you cannot afford or do not want to spend the extra money for the collectors edition you get the same game for the low BFG price minus a few perks.

Thank you BFG Guy! you could just sell the collectors edition and for those who cannot afford it,or who don't want to spend the extra money they would never know the joy of Dire or Edgar Allen Poe in the Rue Morgue.

However BFG Guy is not about greed it is about giving the gamers enjoyment especially in these hard times financially that multitudes around the world are experiencing.

The one thing I do wish is BFG Guy would let us accumulate our game credits and buy the Collectors edition.

Do you have to replay the game to get the bonus content.

It said your bonuses are here and I clicked ok, it just took me to the begging of the game again?

Flo when you are on the street facing the house don't click on play put the arrow on extras on the right side and go in.

Thanks Richard, found it.

BTW did you all recognize the old guy in the gray suit and top hat?

I like that you either get collector's collection for me I prefer to get the game without all the foo foo with it. I figure what I save allows me to buy couple games not just one.

Finished the game and really liked it but I think the same as you, MysteryFantic. I could have done without all the foo foo at the end. I didn't think it was that great. Thanks

Hi everyone. I just bought this game and have been playing it for awhile, and I just had to post because it is SO gorgeous as far as the graphics go that I'm just on cloud nine.

I love these kind of casual games where there are such pretty graphics, plus a little taste of adventure thrown in. I don't know how they make these games but I'm happy they do--I'm a total convert to HOGs now!

Cat, going back to roam around with August Dupin for awhile....

Has anyone run into a problem with the game having previously loaded with no problems, and then all of a sudden not being able to load the game sucessfully? I have emailed BigFish, but was wondering if anyone else experienced this same problem. :holidays:

Is there an update button on your game manager for this game, Donna? I wonder if it's been patched.

For those that are waiting for the regular version also, it is being released this week. :yay12:

No, there is not an update button. I can get the game to load up to the screen where you choose to continue your game, and it either totally locks the computer or flips me right back to the game manager, like I had exited the game! This is the first time I have had a problem with a BF game- I am sure that their wonderful customer service department will have an answer for me soon!

I just wanted you all to know that I heard from Customer Service today- what a quick response. Alex suggested something I could do, with very clear instructions, and it worked like a charm. Once again, I can not say enough about Big Fish Games and the wonderful way they run their company and take care of their customers!

I hope you all are having wonderful holidays- Happy almost New Year!

That's fantastic Donna! Enjoy the rest of the game. :yay12:
