Big Fish Games

[bookchan]

Anyone else play the hidden object/adventure games from Big Fish? I just finished the first Drawn game after seeing it rec'd elsewhere and enjoyed it. I love how casual these games are and yet I get so completely sucked into their worlds. I swear it's like old school text games just with graphics and I love how so many have either a female viewpoint or you as the main character.

I've only gotten my games from Big Fish, is there another good place to go for them?

I'm a big fish member and just get them online from Big Fish, is there an advantage to getting them in the collections at the store?

Right now I'm partway through Escape from Ravenshearst and I have to say the mini games are driving me crazy since in the edition I have there's no instructions on how to play them and they're not all obvious.

At least partially because I didn't know? ;) But she wouldn't anyway, so this works. Plus she likes having the discs, there's the thrill of anticipation--and it encourages her to try similar games from other publishes, so she has more of a variety than he would otherwise. :) The Legend of Sleepy Hollow has been her favourite so far, and that's not a Big Fish title.

Is it this game? http://www.bigfishgames.com/download-games/4597/mystery-legends-sleepy-hollow/index.html

I'm thinking about getting my Mom some of them for christmas. I think she'd like them and she wouldn't download them either, so it's good to know I can pick them up at the store. What pack would you say makes a good starter?

Well don't I feel the fool, now! LOL Yes, it's that one.

As for what makes a good starter, I think it depends upon what she'd like--more or less adventure, the ability to have hints or not. Mum loved the two "Escape from" games, and snatches up a new "Legends" game the second it comes out. If nothing else, I'd say go with whether or not you think the story would have any appeal?
