Everyone else seems to be posting their reviews of the Royal Albert Hall concert, so why not jump on the bandwagon? Here are my disorganized thoughts, entitled:

So I was going through the bonus level, and was about halfway through when I realized my screencapture program had turned off when I rebooted the computer. Gaaah!

For those of you who want to play this but have hesitated at shelling out the dough for the collector’s edition, the standard edition of the game is now available at Big Fish Games ( Read more... )

I thought a lot about how I wanted to go through this next part. Up until now, the game has had a fairly straightforward progression: go to a level, do all the tasks on that level, get access to the next level.

There’s a lot of picking-up-random-things-that-will-be-useful-later stuff in this section, so I might not remember where exactly everything is (feel free to correct). Also, I accidentally didn’t screencap a couple of the hidden object games, and one of the puzzles-sorry! I need to put my screencap hotkey in a better place. And now on with the ( Read more... )

I’m what is typically known in video game circles as a “casual” gamer. I do play-a little World of Warcraft with my husband here, a little time on the Wii Fit there-but it’s not something I devote large portions of my free time to. In fact, when I first heard of Mystery Legends: The Phantom of the Opera, I was surprised to discover it was part of ( Read more... )
