One of the games I'm currently playing is called by various names, but essentially is based on Verne's A Trip to the Moon It's an adventure game with lots of clicking just to figure out, and lots of restarts, and, well it isn't as easy as it sounds. It is a beautiful game, and really has a Riven quality to it, though cartoonish, in a Victorian way. I'm determined to finish it!
One of the problems I have with many of the expensive games I have bought is that I rarely finish them. I get to a point where I'm stuck and just quit. Even games that cost around $60 languish on my drive, unused. This one was $6.99 from Big Fish. Love it!
I have finished all but 3 of the games I have bought through them; this one, Enlightenus, and Syberia II are still in process.
Wish me luck.

ENLIGHTENUS
Just finished playing Enlightenus - a great adventure/hidden object/puzzle game. Realy enjoyed it, and will probably buy the next one.At least it was a finished story and doesn't force me to buy a second version to continue the story like so many games have lately.

Keep on gaming...
Well, I've been through a bunch since the last post. Dire Grove was great, and a finished story, yet it still allows for the series to continue. I'm playing several fight now. Dream Chronicles - I'm on the third of four games. And Siberia - first of two. Oh, and NiBiRu. Really nice graphics.They are time wasters, but a great way to calm the mind before going to bed. At least for me.
I've really enjoyed computer gaming since the old DOS days. Back then they were the old arcade style. I was really spoiled when Windows got big and Myst came out. Immersive worlds are my favorite. I guess that's why I enjoyed the movie Avatar so much; it let me become part of the world in a way most movies don't. Not that I'm a big 3D fan. It gives me headaches. Wearing funny glasses is not my idea of a good time. It's bad enough that I have to wear them to read or see anything close to my face.
But back to games - I sure do enjoy them. Yet I still find myself sitting in front of the TV at night with an old fashioned newspaper crossword puzzle.
Games. Fun, technological, or not. Enjoy.
