Can't buy any of the new games, with Xmas around the corner, my better half is very good at shopping for all the new games I've been takling about. So I don't dare mess up the surprise. After the 25th there will be no prying me off the computer....

Put Darkfall in the middle I'd say.
I have no time right now, but I'm in the middle of the first serious puzzles. The atmosphere of this game is great. But the locations tend to get old by now. I think I have been running through the house three times in a row now
Currently, because I'm looking for something and I can't remember where it was.
But when I entered the first time it was gripping.

@ Marlys - Yes, sometimes I'm in the mood for a type of AG that I don't have. Right now I really want a 1st person exploration adventure. Schizm 2 is in the mail!
I haven't played anything for probably 2 weeks now, can't seem to get enthusiastic about the games I have. Usually when I start a game I play it until I finish, then start another one. The last games I finished were Dark Fall, Runaway and I finally finished Post Mortem that I had started and was sitting there for months. Like I said, I have installed Black Mirror and Danger on Deception Island, checked them out to make sure they work OK but wouldn't have played more than 5 minutes of both. Oh well. I was really looking forward to BS3 but can't play it. >

I haven't seen Black Mirror in the shops here on the Gold Coast Marlys - know I can buy it through Games Warehouse on the net but haven't done anything about it yet. Conspiracies is another that doens't seem to be here yet, although Broken Sword 3 is.
Oh well, at the moment I'm sort of playing Pharaoh's Curse on and off, but Xmas seems to have become between me and gaming - or even being on the net much, then when I do go on, don't seem to have time to do more than look at other's posts! Just thought I'd make some time today for a little while anyway.

Status : Online | I've been too busy to play much lately, so progress is slow, but enjoyed very much when I get the chance.
The Watchmaker: Started playing it and actually enjoyed it so far, but then became distracted by...
Thief Gold: I came across a re-released jewel case edition of Thief Gold (yes, I played all of T1 and T2 before, but not Gold). Now I'm in the middle of Song of the Caverns, the last of the newer levels added to T1 that I hadn't seen before. Oh, how I love this game. Eventually I'll get back to playing something else, maybe.
Basically on the shelf:
Traitor's Gate: Installed and started, but then just haven't been in the mood for it (see above).
Schizm: Installed and started, but then I stopped because of lame personal issues. Basically, I don't want to play it until I've finished the original Myst trilogy, which oddly enough I never have. I probably would if I had them at home, but I don't. Just never picked them up. I played most of Myst at my in-laws while visiting one Christmas holiday and enjoyed it, then never finished it. I know, it's lame, but it's the truth (that last part said with the accent of that guy in the creepy shop in Tony Tough).
Come Christmas, I think my kids will be on the computer a bit more for a while with what they have to look forward to but don't know about yet: Moop & Dreadly and the Treasure of Bing-Bong Island, Ollo and the Sunny Valley Fair, and the first Harry Potter game. That may delay my game-playing, but it will be well worth it.

I have given up on buying adventure games at "shops", go straight to Games Warehouse, delivered to my door the next morning I enjoyed Pharaoh's Curse. Maybe it is pre-Christmas preparations and the hot weather down here that has me lethargic and not in the mood for adventure games?

Status : Online | Completed Day of the Tentacle tonight. A true classic of the old school adventure! Played it when it 1st came out (ouch, that'd be 10 years ago!) and it's still funny, looks good - with a touch of anti-aliasing courtesy of SCUMMVM, and is just so playable If you haven't played it, give it a whirl although I expect the majority of players between the ages of 14 and 24 to say it's a load of old crap!)

OK, Im playing In Memoriam, I think is possibly the best PC adventure since Syberia. Really great how they've incorporated the internet, making the whole experience far more interactive. Its also real desturbing, like Se7en. Only better.

Recently, I replayed the CD versions of Sam & Max, Fate of Atlantis and Larry 6. I also played Syberia for the first time last month, and I really enjoyed the game, specially the incredible story.
Right now, I am playing GTA: Vice City. Really cool, game!
I am also playing Ghost Master and the Atari Activision Anthology.
