Has anyone played the Mistery Case Files games? I've just completed the Ravenhearst one, I'm proud, I've never thought I'd make it. ;D

I've never heard of them... but it sounds interesting.
Are they simple or more complex like, say, the Myst games?

I found them to be quite complex. You're a detective and you need to gather clues in order to unlock a new diary entry or Emma Ravenhearst and find out what happened to her. You get to "search rooms" with a list of 8 objects to find in them, and trust me those rooms are really really full with stuff and the objects can be very easily missed.

Hmm... sounds intriguing. It's a PC game?

yes, it is. If you look it up on google, you'll fine sites that let you play some levels online to test it up That's how I discovered it

Mysterville is not by the same company but similar to the other one - that's probably why you didn't know about it. I get regular emails from Shockwave when they add new games to their site, so when I see something that I like, I will play it for 60 minutes, and when I really like it, I will buy it.

That site looks interesting, I think I'm going to register there as well ;D Shockwave is a reliable site, and one of the very few I order online from. When you want to buy the full game, you get your key sent right away to your email address. It's quite simple. I buy lots of games from there, as I said. Another game where you have to find items, is called: Dream Day Wedding. I like this one best because you can set it so that there is no time limit. I wish they would do that with all games, that you have a choice. I also love those strategy games like Virtual Villagers. My latest one is Escape From Paradise. This is quite a large game, and there is lots to do. And other games I bought from there are both Big Kahuna Reef games, Deluxe Diamond Mine, Bookworm, Mah Jong Quest, and Insaniquarium, among others. I love those games. They don't take up much space, are mostly simple enough to just relax a little and play, while watching TV... LOL and they are fun. ;D Additional: BTW, if you are interested in the above games, a lot of these are made by Big Fish. They sell their own and those others as well on their site: www.bigfishgames.com/

I've played Mah Jong Quest, it's fun. I've played a lot of trials on big fish too, but now they try and make me subscribe for a newsletter before letting me play

I am never logged in as a member when I go to their site, and can download any of the demos as guest. And I just went to Big Fish, where I am not a member, and clicked on their latest game, Dream Day Honeymoon, and one other game, and was able to download both of them as well. So you are able to download from their site too without needing to subscribe.
