Update 40: February 1st to 8th

First week of February over and my vacation is coming ever closer :D Not in the mood for long posts today and since I played mostly HOGs which are pretty similar to each other the reviews shall be short.

Cute little story with some little twists.

A strange littles story that is told via text files that you have to read and then talk to the AI's about. Not bad, but not my favourite one.

Half-Life 2

Time Mysteries 3: The Final Enigma

An okay HOG with time travel aspects. Found it a bit difficult to keep track of all the locations in the different time zones.

Half-Life 2

Dark Arcana: The Carnival

Can't rate the game since it would not play properly. It was slow as fuck. Took me 10 minutes to clear the first HOG. Tried fixing it with running it in compability mode, but did not work either. Even installed it on a virtual WinXP machine without any luck, which is when I gave up.

Here are the games I'm currently working on. Reviews will follow once I'm done with the games:
I've won 2 games in the last week and bought some DLC's. And I've beaten/completed/given up on 6 games, so that makes a -4 for the last week and a total of -4 for February. So finally a week where my backlog is not screaming

SG wins: Gifts: none this week

Other keys, games and DLC's some DLC's for Euro Truck Simulator 2
Games I want to play within the next few weeks:

Challenge Me: Not taking part in this month right now, since I have to do more from the previous one.

PA: none

PoP: thanks to aragon789 & BarbaricGenie for challenging me

BLAEO monthly:

PAGYWOSG:

Just for fun:

Your monthly plan is quite ambitious :D Dragon Age alone would take me more than a month probably. It’s an awesome game though. One of the best RPGs I’ve ever played.

samwise84

well the PoP entries are for the next 3 months (so for the next PoP cycle), but everything else I’ll try to finish and/or play more (see FT and PPU) and I am well on my way for the PAGYWOSG entries ;)

And I know. I’ve played it in the past.
