Dire Grove

Oooh - a good one. Part of the Mystery Case Files series, this one is amazing. I went for the collector's edition which includes the strategy guide and some extras. Glad I did. Only about half-way through but I am really enjoying it. It is set in an icy village so you get really cold - dress warm!

Hidden Expedition - Devil's Triangle

Finished it - great game but it is a to be continued. That seems to be a trend with the latest games. This is about the fourth one I have finished that leaves it open for the next one. Just give me an entire story - all wrapped up with no questions left!

Well, I will get the next installment. The ploy works. :-)

Crosswords

Ok, I've become my mother. Well, at least I am into one of her favorite pastimes. I've begun doing crossword puzzles. It began with the TV Guide, then progressed into an occasional LA Times puzzle. Once in a while, I'll do the one in the local Glendale paper. It's fun. And educational, sort of. I do learn some new words. and it exercised my memory. I usually do them after dinner, while watching TV. I can't just sit and watch TV - too boring. I have to be doing at least two things at a time.

Funny how the old-fashioned low-tech things are sometimes the most fun.

Solitaire

Ok, Fairy Solitaire. It's addictive. I love seeing the little creatures that mature while I play. I love the fact that it isn't timed. Pretty graphics. Good music. Winning a hand.

I also like Tri-Peaks Solitaire. Similar, yet different graphic content and I collect museum pieces instead of little creatures.

Both are really fun, and available from Big Fish Games.

Big Fish got Bigger

Well, now I am hooked up with a tool bar and every day a new game is offered. Haven't gone for too many of them, but sure do like those hidden objects. Good games to relax with.

Big Fish Games

Having an enjoyable time with the monthly games from Big Fish. The newest one I've bought is called Anabelle. the storyline is that a young woman named Anabelle disappears from an Egyptian museum only to show up in ancient Egypt - as a princess! Very intriguing puzzles, and easy or hard depending on if you use the help/hint button or not. Beautiful graphics.
