#### Genki's Older Game and Book Reviews

I've got some new BOOK and MOVIE reviews up on my site, if anyone is interested in reading them.
For books, find reviews of the Books of Pellinor (fantasy), The Iron Druid Chronicles (urban fantasy - not my usual genre, but AWESOME!!), and two Dean Koontz (fiction) books.
For movies, find The Happening and 2012, which are totally different takes on the apocalypse.
I did actually make one game review, the first I've done since I discovered Glitch: The World`s Legends: Kashchey the Immortal. This is a casual game, meaning it's one you can play in 8 hours or less (usually... sometimes much less). It's not an outstanding game for the genre, but I do think it's not getting fair reviews, so I had to try it for myself, then pipe up with my findings. lol~ ;)
I do these types of reviews periodically, and if I get enough responses here (or there), I'll continue to announce them in this thread for the interested parties ^__^

- Which Games Have the Best Soundtracks? <--topic
  That is the question :D If you don't want to sign up at my forum to answer, please post here. I'd love to know what you think.
  Posted 72 days ago by Genkicoll | Permalink
- I've just finished reviewing an amazing story-driven game called
  To The Moon <--click for review
  The game lasted me four hours, and I feel that the soundtrack alone was worth the purchase price. A very touching story, definitely great for someone who (like me) loves story in their games.

- Do you play the MCF games? I don't think I've seen you comment on those.
  Posted 62 days ago by MaryLiLamb | Permalink
- Yes, Mary, I love them, but I've only reviewed a few:
  Mystery Case Files 1: Huntsville (HOG)
  http://genkisgamegab.forumotion.com/t201-mystery-case-files-1-huntsville-straight-hog#466
  Mystery Case Files 3: Ravenhearst (HOG)
  http://genkisgamegab.forumotion.com/t199-mystery-case-files-3-ravenhearst-straight-hog#465
  Mystery Case Files 6: Dire Grove (IHOG)
  http://genkisgamegab.forumotion.com/t196-mystery-case-files-6-dire-grove-ihog-adventure#464
  Mystery Case Files 7: 13th Skull (IHOG/Adventure)
  Played with the first update, which was given on release-day
  http://genkisgamegab.forumotion.com/t195-mystery-case-files-7-13th-skull-interactive-movie-ihog-adventure#463
  Strangely I didn't do a review of either Return to Ravenhearst or Escape From Ravenhearst! :o Within the next month or so, I'll be revisiting both of these, plus Dire Grove (probably my favorite of the series), so when I do, I'll be sure to do reviews of the Ravenhearst games!
  Also, thank you for posting! I was beginning to think that no one was reading this thread!
  One last thing - a game I reviewed on the 3rd and forgot to post:
  The Agency of Anomalies 1: Mystic Hospital (IHOG)

- I'd like to know if me bumping this thread with new game/book reviews is aggravating or appreciated, so that I know whether to continue as I have been. :)
  Posted 52 days ago by Genkicoll | Permalink
- I don't think it's aggravating, it is a generous thought on your part. But I am guessing most people don't play or try as many new things as you do.
  How about trying creating a new forum thread next time, with a title like "New games: Ghost Towns and Mystery Legends"? I bet that would attract more readers and also the thread could give space for others to talk about those games.
