I managed to make the first case unwinnable . You have to speak to a particular person about something before hauling him in for questioning, because after you do he disappears from his initial location, and you can't ask him the question during interrogation .

I hasten to add that I haven't seen this problem anywhere else .

Sounds strange that you can end up that way with no other chance in a game. All the games I´ve played so far gives you a hint that there´s more to do before you can move on. (I haven´t played any Sierras)
I´ll keep it in mind though.

Well, I think that you're not supposed to be able to get into the situation that I did . It's almost certainly a bug rather than bad design, and there's quite a large chance that you wouldn't end up seeing it.

I just bought Shadow of the Colossus, Dreamfall (Xbox), and a new slim PS2 (because my brother took our old one to school) this weekend. Shadow I bought new at Toys r Us because I want the developer to make money from this. Dreamfall I got for $29.99 at the local Fry's Electronics, and the PS2 I got there as well (hooray for the price drop!). Although I bought my memory card online so I have to wait for that to arrive.

Today I bought God of War and Tomb Raider: Legend, and I'm waiting for my Deamfall to arrive.

It's going to get busy.

My two recent purchases:



It's ace. I'm really happy with it so far, particularly as it was a budget title priced at $9.99 here. I'm still getting to grips with the camera controls, but I'm already enjoying zooming around and watching the giraffes tromp around and the polar bears playing, and I've barely even started.

The other:



Haven't played it yet. I was just happy to be able to find it for the original retail price when everyone seems to be charging much more.

I finally got around to ordering the King Kong game (I can't be bothered to write the title in full) in its allegedly-Limited Edition flavour.

The first game is lots of fun to play around with, and the second game looks like it promises to be even more fun. I could probably spend hours just tinkering around with the ship designer, from the sounds of it, and the diplomatic dialogue looks even more amusing.

Peace & Luv, Liz
That does look like fun. I'm downloading the demo of it now. Thanks for the lead.

PS. Why does your vampire smiley have blue fangs?

$40 new

$20 used

I'm starting to regret buying them at one time. I hope they're worth it!

The new Morrissey CD, because NO ONE in my area has Dreamfall in. Grumble.

That isn't the same cover as mine. I just found that picture with a Google Image Search. I think the picture was on lik-sang, which exports games from asia worldwide. My guess is that it's the Japanese cover.

My copy came from a seller on half.com, which, incidentally, has proven for me to be a very good resource for hard to find games at sometimes very good prices without bidding anxiety. It's the same as every other US version of the game I've seen.

It sure isn't the european box cover, I just got Phoenix Wright and it is the worst of all the ones i've seen... Even that mysterious one is much better.
