I’m still contemplating whether to buy BS4 though, user comments are putting me off. I’ll wait until if comes down in price, I’m tight with my money.

I think I will order any new releases online though, the last time I went into my local gaming shop these guys thought it was hilarious that a girl like me was into gaming. And when they asked me what I was into and I replied “adventure” one of them remarked "oh like platform?"

That's just wrong. My wife plays adventure games now and again. In fact I know a lot of women who play them. I guess the guys in the store don't date much. hehe.

I'd buy a Vampire Story. If it's got the feel of the old Lucas Arts games that I'm hearing it does. I'll be all over it. I like the old school stuff (with some updated graphics if you please), and I like it humorous and not too serious.

My wife likes the scary stuff. hehe

I bought Ankh, and while it was entertaining I felt extremely clausterphobic while playing it. (the area seemed very small/short, and lacking in some detail.) I also felt it could have been funnier.
