Hi Ana,
So...Did I read this right....If I buy the casual game released in Dec. I am also entitled to play this next release for that same price? Or, is this one a full adventure game? Or, neither?? Can you re-explain the deal for me? Thanks so much.

Gaily, I have been trying to find where you are seeing that info and I have not been able to find it.

There was the first episide that was released in May of last year and that is available on MSN for a short time for 11.95. The new release, A Darker Shade of Gray will be 19.99 on MSN sometime today (still waiting). I do not see an option for a discount on the new one if you buy the first one.

If you are a club member on Bigfish the first one is there and the second one will be there on the 4th of March.

apparently Ana it will not be released today. Or if it is then it is really going to have to do some major catching up with the rest of the world because from where I am the day is almost over and I still is no murder in site.

well lets see if it was suppose to come out today and BigFish was suppose to have it March 4th I say lets go for March 1st or 2nd because those days are at the beginning of the month and maybe they just needed one more month to "tweek" everything to make it just right for us.

Thanks Ana....she has a wicked stomach bug....high fever, belly ache, flu symptoms, cold, stuffy nose. She really got it all at once. Poor baby just looks sick. I feel really bad. Actually the game is great, but taking a break as I really did stay home to take care of her and she really is a sick little girl right now. You know I wish there was a way to take it all away from her and just give it all to me. Hmmmmm. Thanks Ana I'm doing everything I can to make sure she's better soon.

Hope your daughter is feeling better soon Sly. Just finished the game. It is GOOD. Had to skip a couple of puzzles- wont say which ones, so as not to spoil it for others. Forensic lab is much less tedious than in the first episode.Mini games are consistent with gameplay.

Re: Womens Murder Club - A Darker Shade of Grey Released! - 02/25/09 01:53 AM

Thanks Dorish. I did get to finish as well while daughter was asleep. Your right, the lab was much less tedious than the last. I loved the game. The story kept me wanting more and the mini games are consistent with gameplay. I loved it. I do think, and it's only my opinion, that the first was better, but this was great as well. Glad I had the chance to play it and finish.

I also think I will play again...my score was pretty high, but didn't get all of the points I could have. I too skipped one mini game but other than that, I didn't have to use that many hints at all and there were plenty of those so no one will have any problems with that.

Ana, this game is fantastic! I like it far better than the first game. Highly recommend this game. I hope it is a long game. The only thing that would make it better would be if it had voice. Ah well maybe next time.

Okay, I think I'm losing my mind. I'm playing the demo and trying to type the blood found on the cuff. The analyzer is asking for one drop of FS 972 but it seems the bottle isn't available. I've watched the three rows of bottles scroll by numerous times and have yet to find the darned thing!

Posted By: BrownEyedTigre

Re: Womens Murder Club - A Darker Shade of Grey Released! - 03/01/09 09:30 PM

I didn't have any troubles finding the bottles. Try looking for the color (the number series have matching colors on the labels also) and you may find it.

Women's Murder Club NOT TGT??? - 03/03/09 09:07 AM

So I've been anxiously awaiting March 2, for Women's Murder Club (A Darker Shade of Gray) to come out on Big Fish, and when the time game I raced to the BFG page, only to find that Nanny Mania 2 is the game of the day!

BigFishGuy, do you know anything about this? Will we be getting Women's Murder Club soon, if not on March 2?

**********

Ooops, how out of the loop am I? Women's Murder Club should have been out yesterday for everyone... I thought today (Tues) was March 2.

So what's up? I've been reading the threads but haven't seen anything about a delay?

Minxs

***********

Sigh... sorry everyone... I went back to the threads and whereas I was SURE I saw March 2 before, it's March 4. So only one more day to wait, for those who are BF club members.

Wait though -- shouldn't it still be TGT?

Minxs

Re: Women's Murder Club NOT TGT??? - 03/03/09 11:11 AM

It would be good if it is the game tomorrow.

I am looking forward to this game too.

Minxs, please do not stack your posts. If no one has posted behind you use the edit button instead of posting again.

If you note the release date it says worldewide release is the 10th. BigFish may or may not have it that day, but according to the publisher, that is the date I was given.

Yahoo!!!

I loved the first one - read all the books, too.

Thanks so much BFG Guy

I can hardly wait. There goes my resolve for one game a month. I am up to 92 BF games, and decided I needed to slow down a bit.

Happy Gaming E1

Darlene, I'm just thinking if the worldwide release is tomorrow for all portals, then BigFish would be restricting themselves by making it for members only.

Just me thinking aloud.

So disappointed

Re: Womens Murder Club - A Darker Shade of Grey Released! - 03/11/09 03:34 PM

I was really pleased when it was there this morning, and enjoyed playing it very much.

I do have a couple of points to make :
Although a great game, it's very short, and I thought much easier than the first one. The cut scenes were annoyingly long, however, nd you could not flick through, you had to read it all, or skip it. The puzzle were great, but as I said, the game was very, very short

Posted By: Marian

Re: Womens Murder Club - A Darker Shade of Grey Released! - 03/11/09 03:36 PM

Linward, how does the length of the game compare to the first Womens Murder Club? I know it took me quite a while to finish the first one.

Posted By: BrownEyedTigre

Re: Womens Murder Club - A Darker Shade of Grey Released! - 03/11/09 03:50 PM

I thought the games were similar in length and enjoyed them both. The storyline was good (I usually ignore, but I paid attention to this one). The mini games were easier than the first one though. I like more of a challenge but the games were well done.

Ana

Posted By: Marian

Re: Womens Murder Club - A Darker Shade of Grey Released! - 03/11/09 03:59 PM

Thanks, Ana; I'm enjoying the game very much so far. If it's about the same length as the first one, that's fine with me.

Re: Womens Murder Club - A Darker Shade of Grey Released! - 03/11/09 04:38 PM

I thought it much shorter than the first one, although it may be that because everything was easier, it seemed that way. I spent maybe 4-5 hours playing time. Don't get me wrong, its worth buying, and good to play, but you just get disappointed when it all ends so quickly.

Re: Womens Murder Club - A Darker Shade of Grey Released! - 03/11/09 05:56 PM

I too thought the game was good but very short. It took me less than 4 hours- I skipped a couple of tedious puzzles like the frog & farmer.

I thought it had nice graphics and excellent storyline.

The puzzles were ok but finding bits of paper and coins was not much fun.

If it had normal hidden object game elements I think it would have made the game longer and more interesting then looking for the same things that were not really even hidden.

I think if you commbined this story, mix of puzzles and way of narrating it with the first WMC game style of game play (traditional hidden objects) it would have been excellent.

Re: Womens Murder Club - A Darker Shade of Grey Released! - 03/11/09 06:16 PM

The game is OK, a lot easier than the first. I've played 30 minutes and I'm already finished 4 and a half cases so I will likely be almost finished by the time the 1 hour demo is up. I think I'll pass on this one but only because of the short length, not because of the gameplay.

Posted By: Marian

Re: Womens Murder Club - A Darker Shade of Grey Released! - 03/12/09 05:48 AM

I just finished the game; I'd say I got roughly four to five hours of play out of it. I thought the game had a nice variety of mini-games but will agree that they were for the most part very easy, as I usually get stuck somewhere in a mini-game and in this game I did not. But all in all, it was worth the $6.99 that I paid for it, and in a few months it will probably be good for a replay.

Posted By: Springchicken

Re: Womens Murder Club - A Darker Shade of Grey Released! - 03/12/09 04:04 PM

I finished the game and liked it. I agree it's rather short and the puzzles are easy and I missed the hidden objects part. But I still enjoyed it.

Posted By: ramona

Re: Womens Murder Club - A Darker Shade of Grey Released! - 03/12/09 07:54 PM

I am at Chapter 5. It does seem shorter to me but I think that is because the puzzles are easier. The only gripe would be that they should have allowed you to click a next page option once you finished reading. The puzzles so far I think do fit into the story. It's an interesting story and since just 6.99, not a bad buy. Though, for those buying it retail at $19.99, may be disappointed unless new to the HOGs.

Re: Womens Murder Club - A Darker Shade of Grey Released! - 03/12/09 08:19 PM

I just finished the game and really enjoyed it. I do hope there will be another one. It was well worth the money (Thanks to Big Fish). I had to use hints a few times but all in all it was a good game. I especially liked the last part

Click to reveal..

. I will replay it again soon and hope not to use any hints.

I have not played very far yet but that's because it seems easy and, gasp, boring! I'm so disappointed since I was really looking forward to this one, but no hidden objects? No ability to move quickly through the dialog scenes? So far, I think the first one was MUCH better. I liked the story on that one too.

But I'll keep playing and hopefully it will improve.
