What was the last game that you couldn't stop playing. You know, the one where you would stay up to the wee hours playing even though you knew you had to go to bed. The one that you would beat the next person who interupted you. Mine would be Cooking Dash, (although when the new Chocolatier comes out the kids better leave me alone. lol)
I think it had to me Dream Chronicles both 1 and 2 and Time Paradox....still not finished...had real stuff I have to get done so not much time for games. But, I hear it calling to me often! LOL!
Ljot, I'm with you. When I played the beta of Cooking Dash I was sooooo excited and couldn't wait for it to be released. When it was finally released, I played so long I got a crick in my neck,lol. I finished it in two sittings. What I loved about it is that it was the first dash game where you could actually see the food and also the added challenge of cooking some of it. Dream Chronicles 1 and 2 would be my second choice. So beautiful, yet challenging and suspenseful.
The LAST game that kept me so transfixed that I stayed up playing most of the night, was MCF Return to Ravenhearst. One of the best hog I've played in a long time. But, I too loved Cooking Dash as well as Delicious Emilys' Tea Garden. I am a recent convert to tm games which I am starting to enjoy almost as much as my favorite hogs.
how do you think Westward 3 is compared to its prequels? Let's say concerning difficulty, changes and length? I did not have the time to play it right now, but surely I will buy it sooner or later...but I'm already curious

I know I am not Alevy but I have to say imo that you have more challenges in this one..2 went by very quickly,and the secrets were easier to figure out. I feel like I am in the "towns"longer in this version.

I agree with Gable. Many of the secrets & unknown trophies I earned by accident in WW2 without trying or knowing what I was doing. I think I only received 1 unknown trophy by the time I completed WW3. Plus, there's a new Hat store with 9 hats to unlock. I think I have 5, and only 1 General Store Item. As a result, I've been spending a lot of time lurking at the Sandlot forums. In addition to the secrets & unknown prizes, I find the main quests are harder, and there are many more side quests & activities. In WW2, I completed all of the main quests without a problem and found myself just waiting around for something to happen. Not the case this time! There was 1 quest I failed completely (which lost me the winery), and several side quests I had to try many times. Speaking of side quests, there were more to choose from this time. With a sherriff you have the option of taking your gunsliners on 7 or 8 bounty hunts, and with an employed trading post, you can go on 10 (I think) resource quests. While they did get a bit redundant after a while (the ones that weren't kicking my butt, anyway) it was a good way to earn experience points & resources. Plus, they were optional, which was nice.
So, yes, I'd say this game does a good job of keeping the same gameplay & feel of its predecessor but with added challenge. Not only gameplay is longer, but I think it has more replay value, too. But those 3D graphics were too much for me , but with the zoom out it was fine.
I think that about covers my main thoughts on WW3. I'm starting it over next week & may have more thoughts then. I'm determined to get that winery. Levy needs a drink!

I really enjoyed Build-a-Lot v3. I enjoy that series of games very much.
I find it interersting, Junks, that you didn't enjoy Chocolatier 2 as much as v1. Me too! I've played Choc. v1 numerous times but never even made it all the way thru v2. Just didn't enjoy it as much.

Yeah, Gable, I do know what you mean about B-a-L games. So I can't say that B-a-L v3 consumed me. I just really liked playing it. They could come out with more and I'd eat 'em up; but I guess they're not as challenging now once you get used to playing them. And they're not really great in replay.
Wish I liked the WW games, but just can't get into them. I find it hard to move the characters around and I get bored with the premise.
Wish I could find something to really immerse myself in. Interested in looking at that Mushroom Age and Time Paradox, what with the recommendations above. Will hafto check them out!

Oh yeah don't get me wrong WW games are boring lol but they present great challenges and that is what consumes me..I need the game(any game) to have a challenge.
Otherwise I get bored and don't play it any more...that is why I rarely beta games because basically I already played it...

Well, I can play Delicious Deluxe 2 and/or Emily's Tea Garden all week long at work for 5 hours a night -- till it's time for me to go home at 6 am. I absolutely love those games. After those, it's the HOG games that get to me the most. Love 'em all, actually -- HOG and time management, that is.
I am currently firmly attached to WW3! I have tried really hard to keep out of the Sandlot Forums but on the occasions that I have given in to temptation I always end up finding out that I have missed a hidden quest and so now I will just have to replay it again - can't leave it without all the hidden things unlocked or trophies 'un-won'!
Chocolatier 1 and 2. Since I can only afford 1 credit each month at BFG, I was dying each day till I could activate Chocolatier 2, since my 60 minute trial was over.
Right now I play Spongebob Atlantis Squareoff, even though it should be a kids game.
My best game of 2007 was Azada. My best game of 2008 was Fatal Hearts.
For me it was Burger Shop. After months, I finally won every medal available in the game, but that wasn't good enough. I kept going back again and again to get expert on the first try for each level.
And before that, my life was about Roller Coaster Tycoon. I had to win each scenario. Made up scripts and game plans and filed them away in my "Roller Coaster Tycoon" file by desk. I tracked minute by minute how concessions were doing, where people were, how rides were performing. Had my highlighters, red pens, and blue pens tracking expenses. I was owner of each and every park. I want more.
, but with the zoom out it was fine.
