Thanks Carla -- we appreciate all the work you do to keep us up-to-date!

Thanks Carla, what an exciting list.

Thanks for the updates and all the hard work Carla - much appreciated

Bernie

Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but is Dracula 3 and Dracula Origin the same game, or 2 different ones?

Dawn

Dawn, My understanding is that D3 is a different game... it follows Last Sanctuary & Resurrection.

Hi Dawn, they are 2 different games, one is made by Kheops and the other one by Frogwares, we are going to be busy with vampires this year!

Thanks, Carla........great job on keeping us all updated!! Yippee!!!!

Thanks for the updates Carla. Putting aside "game money" so I can grab them all up when they're released.

Thanks, Carla!! One can never have too many vampire games!!! I just had not heard of Dracula Origins, only heard of Dracula 3. OOh, plus there's Vampyre story, which of course I've heard of, but have been waiting forever for!!!!

Dawn

I love Vampire games, and love your avatar too dmtomchick. New season CSI New York started last Sat in the UK

I've just posted the link for Experiment 112 english demo.The first release of this demo wasn't installing, and now Microapp said they fixed it:but it's still not working for me, I'm trying again right now.
Please let me know if it's working for you (605 MB to download!)

I've installed the version from the website http://www.experience112.com which worked for me.

Hi Metamorphium, the link I posted is the direct link to the download (when you download from the official site you can notice on the address bar exactly the link I wrote) and finally it worked for me too.
So, everything is fine, we'll wait for your comments on this game then!

OK, but I used the first link above to download the demo and even with DSL the download says more than 2 hours, I think I'll skip it, sitting "watching water boil" is not my idea of relaxing fun!.....but thanks Carla for your hard work on all these updates...would'nt ya know it I finished Loath Nolder last week and am so bored waiting for another good Adventure game to be released NOW! I guess I needed to hold back one or two newly released games with the expectation that I would be recuperating from emergency surgery and need something to do with my 'hands on the computer'... Sure wish The Lost Crown was in my hands now.......oh, well, back to a casual game I guess.
Love, Betty Lou

Thanks for the list, Carla, your hard work is helpimg me with my decisions. There are 17 games listed in the screenshots list, not counting Culpa Innata which I have already played, or the 3 games that were listed twice. Of these 17 there are 6 I'm interested in with 3 that I will definitely buy (my mind is made up on those, unless I unmake it, of course) and 3 that I'm watching but haven't decided one way or the other.

After downloading and installing - which took 770MB of disk space! - It's not working. Guess I'll wait for the reviews.

Hi Betty Lou, I just noticed you are recuperating from surgery (and kinda out of sorts with no games at the moment. I really hope you recoop fast and a great game comes for all of us, soon.
BrownEyedTigre: Once again, thank you

I downloaded Experience 112 with no trouble playing it. But the cursor was floating when I moved it and as far as playing the demo I had NO idea what to do. You control the camera in a map with a lot of blue dots I wouldn't want the game but somebody else might like it. Thanks
Richard

Carla, I downloaded Experience 112 and installed it without a problem. It played ok for me. The game was certainly unique with all those camera windows and being able to see your character and move your character by turning on lights and objects.

Marie

Stroke of fate update.

here is the website, with screens and a trailer.

Thanks Belgar!

Hi and Wow !!

Some great stuff to see .... Thanks !!

Cheers.

Mad

Carla, just wanted to say thanks for your hard work on keeping us up to date. Much appreciated!

ana

Thanks Ana, I have a lot of fun "hunting" for news and I'm glad you all enjoy it!

This has to be a mistake but IGN has Vampyre Story as being released today. Scroll down to recent releases on the link and it's the top one.

Ana

IGN is still listing it as released, but I don't see a way to buy it.

Just checked out the "Secret Files 2" site. Fun to watch the videos of game play. Great way to see how a game works without having to download a demo (of course there is nothing like first hand experience). Interesting point 1 - the website is in French and the video is in English!; interesting point 2 - it is described as a "jeu d'aventure 'point and click'". Ha, the French hate "franglaise." I love it!

Thanks

Carla just want to add my thanks too. Your updates on games is really great. Thanks again for taking the time to put it together.

My pleasure Gerry!

Thanks Belgar, they are all already in the first page, you were posting probably while I was updating!

Thanks Carla for the updates.

Thanks for all your work Carla!

Carla, where can I get more info about 'Goin' Downtown'? Thank you.

Bubba,

This is all I got from here:
The Games Company prepares us Goin 'Downtown, a new adventure game developed by Silver Style Entertainment. For now, the first images of the game have not yet been disclosed but some artworks are hand. The starting point of this adventure is the death of Rose, a prostitute found at the foot of the building. action takes place in 2072, the United States and will conduct the investigator Jack Cops. His investigation will raise secrets could jeopardize the American nation against a backdrop of travel in time.

Goin 'Downtown due out by spring.


The Games Company and Silver Style Entertainment have no mention of the game yet.

Thanks Carla and Belgar!

New Perry Rhodan screens.
This looks to be fabulous.

http://www.clubic.com/actualite-94226-perry-rhodan-images.html

There is also a frenhc preview of the english version of Simon The Sorcerer 4

http://www.jeuxvideopc.com/articles/1844-preview-anglaise-simon-sorcerer-4/

Overall, a very good impression of the game, only drawbacks, the sometimes very long monologues. They applaud the humour, the graphics in 3d/2d, the importance of the dialogues at the center of the gameplay.
One negative from the reviewer, the fact that the game is another point & click with a lack of spice in some of the solving parts, despite the awesome technical feast of the game.
They also stress the very good quality of the English voice acting.
They hope that the game will get even better by the time it reaches gold status.

A French preview of the English version? Whatever next?

Heheh , well maybe it measn that we will get the game before they actually make the French translation.
It seems to be in English and German only for now.

Hi Carla. (and everyone!) I wanted to join the gang in saying thanks for the work that you do here on the site---it's so fun to log in and see all the new game titles, screenshots, etc.

Also, I had a question for ya. Do you know if Dracula 3 is the same as Dracula Origins?

Thanks for the info and the tempting screenshots!
Cat

Cat,

Dragula 3 is made by Kheops - check here.

Dracula Origin is made by Frogwares - check here.

News from Amazon.com = an email received today says they are taking orders and it qualifies for FREE SHIPPING! Ordered mine this AM! Now just to wait, wait, wait.....and hope this one runs better on my computer than the demo
Love, Betty Lou

What game BettyLou?

Ana

First Perry Rhodanm video.
Game has gone gold in Germany.


http://www.clubic.com/actualite-94698-video-prologue-captures-perry-rhodan.html

Ooops, sorry, Experiment is the name of the game....
Love, Betty Lou

I just got the jack keane demo from this topic and nod32 antivirus scanner picked something up in it, it was a probable virus it said. I ignored the warning as im sure these should be ok, but i had to ask. Did anyone else get a virus warning after the dl of jack keane demo?

down loaded up stairs said file was corrupted .So I used the down stairs computor .I had no probs no virus .Every thing is ok .Game runs real good

Experiment, Amazon tells me it was shipped yesterday, yippeeeee
Love, Betty Lou

Just downloaded the demo from this topic and played a few minutes and my computer did not pick up a virus warning.

Chief

Good to know Thx

Thanks Carla. I am really excited about Simon 4

Anyone excited about Lost Crown (don't know if this is posted anywhere else) JA has a contest to win the ghost hunting kits like in the game. AND March 6th seems locked in for release!

BubbaJake, JA is not giving away the kit, Got Game is. You can read about the news Here on GameBoomers.

Ana

So Blonde ... Eidos is doing the distribution in France, anyone knows if Eidos will do the distribution for the English speaking coutnries as well?

Belgar -- no news for certain, but Lighthouse Interactive has been publishing the English version of some of the games that Anaconda is publishing worldwide. It would be great it they will also be releasing So Blonde!

Hi Carla

Thanks for this thread - it is such a mine of ongoing info !!

Cheers.

Mad

Hello, I am new here and do not know where to ask for the puzzle solving hints for Sprill:The mystery of the Bermuda Triangle. I did search in the walk throughs but did not find it. thanks

Hi Lou...post in Casual Forum and start a thread there. Someone that has played will hopefully come along and help you.

EDIT: Pardon my rudeness
to GameBoomers

Ana

Hi Lou -- this looks to be a casual hidden objects game. The best place to ask for help would be to click here to go to the GameBoomers' Casual Game forum, and then post your question there.

EDIT: Hi Ana -- posting simultaneously again.

Hi Becky!

ok sorry I didn't know where to ask. I need to get familiar with the site. thanks. Lou

Hi, Carla

I am downloading the Sherlock demo..I want to play it to see if I get sea-sickness ...I hope maybe they changed the interface

Thanks, again for the link

Hey Darleen and Carla i go download the demo when i arrive in my house. But i agree with Dar i hope that they changed the interface!I hate the interface of the last game is so complication!

Love Maria

So Blonde, english trailer

http://www.clubic.com/actualite-134216-so-blonde-anime-25-images-seconde.html

I have played some of the latest demos for Sherloch Holmes. Using the forums for the Sherloch Holmes games, I found that if I lowered the mouse sensitivity to just a notch above zero on the slider in the game's options menu, I could play the demo - without getting seasick or having motion sickness.

Due to these demos I have also found the demo the Secret of Silver Earring. And what a delightful game this is (it came out in 2004, I believe, so this i just a heads up to those who are new to the Sherloch Holmes series...)

New english trailer (i think) of simon 4.

Simon 4 trailer (english)

Thanks Skeeter!
Also, I do apologize but the demo for So Blonde is still in german, my mistake,will be released in english soon.

Thanks Carla. That was great.

Hi, Carla

I just looked at the Simone trailer...Very good !!!

It says released in March 08...Can we expect to see this game soon in English?

Thanks

Darleen -- as far as I know, there's no announced date yet for the English language version of Simon 4. I agree that the game looks fun, and I hope we do hear more about a release date soon.

I have open communication with playlogic they will be informing me for the uk release date shortly.

I'm finally getting rid of dailup, moving up to ADSL this week. Maybe I'll check out some trailers and demos.

Oh ...SkeeterUK

Do let us know when? I hope Interact gets the game also for sale..I am sure ,Becky will know about the game first..I am praying..

Hi, Guy thats Great...You will love some of the demos..

Simon the sorcerer 4 has or is going to go Gold very soon. So should be released within a few weeks to a month.

Skeeter -- that such good news! I've been waiting for it to show up in the UK online stores as a preorder. Where'd you hear about it?

A contact that is from PlayLogic.

Yes!!!

Hi

That's SUCH good news, thank you !!!!

EDIT :
Just looked at a bit of the demo and the graphics are JUST like the ORIGINAL two games. Brilliant !!!!

Cheers.

Mad

That is a great news!!!!Whooooo

Love Maria

Thanks for keeping us up to date on these upcoming games. Just a note to you Carla.....I started to watch the trailer of Drac 3 The Path of the Dragon and note that it is in French - so I gave up, can't understand the language - will try again if they release a trailer in English....thanks
Love, Betty Lou

Update on simon 4.

PlayLogic confirmed to me that the UK territory wont be available till at least July as the earliest. But! There will be in a week or two (aprox) available a english speaking version for Netherlands and other regions. So if you dont mind imports from NL or other places then thats the best way to get a English speaking version of Simon 4 before July.

Thanks for checking it out, Skeeter! If anyone knows of an online store that will stock the English version of Simon 4 and that ships internationally, let us know. (It'll be easier for us if the store has instructions for how to order in English.)

Hi

I don't mind waiting until July at all .... Having waited so long already

And this game definitely sounds worth waiting for

Cheers.

Mad

New Goin' Downtown trailer.
