    Here's another one -

    American Pickers: The Game
    American Pickers: The Game HD

    Oddly enough, the iPad version has IAP and the iPhone version does not. Also, if you get the iPad version and actually like it, use caution on purchasing IAP. These guys also distribute a game called BANG Invasion (which has gone under the name BANG as well as at least one other), and it's another of those games that keeps getting re-listed. I'd hate to see anyone waste IAP on American Pickers just to have the developer re-list the game down the road. At least you can play some for free.

    Thanks for the heads up. I'm avoiding all games that are associated w doing that. Terrible practice!!

    I just noticed that Alabama Smith is now BigFish. What is going on??

    Who knows? I just saw another game in the "new games" list called Granny Zombie that looked really familiar. When I looked at the screen shots I recognized it - the game was Corpse Granny, originally published by BulkyPix! I'm sure in the developer's minds there's a good reason for doing this, but it really messes with the customers, especially on games that have been out for a while.

    As for the American Pickers thing, I thought the company name of Glu Distribution was kind of interesting - maybe they were trying to capitalize on the success of Glu Games. However, if you click the iTunes link for American Pickers support, it actually goes to the support page for Glu Games! I can't seem to find the game on their web site, though. Does anyone know if Glu Distribution has anything legitimate to do with Glu Games?

    It would seem like they would have to, especially since Glu was on a buying spree a couple of years ago with the express intent of expanding distribution. As for being able to draw a direct connection though, no I cannot.

    New game: Narratavius Story Engine. I'm excited about this one. But then I grew up with adventure games where you actually had to type in what you wanted to do and that didn't have graphics :)

    Full voiceovers would be awesome! Aside from graphics that's been one of the best advances in adventure games over the years in my opinion.

    So if I download and play the game again, is there additional content?

    It depends on the version you have - if you have version older than 2.0 (with old name), you will see a lot of new content. If you have 2.0, and finished it, you won't notice any new things (like characters, or puzzles) in game.
    There are new hints, social features (for example FB integration), and some bug fixes.

    Interesting. It actually doesn't look like a hidden object game. Might just have to check it out.

    I was just getting ready to come on here and post that things had been quiet lately! For some reason I didn't get a notification that there had been a reply today. Anyway, I'm looking forward to Crimson Manor. As for TS4, I got an advanced copy of that one over the weekend. I like it, though I still think part II is my favorite in less this one takes a surprising twist somewhere. There are a couple of nifty new elements to the game play, though.

    [Edit]

    Forgot to mention this one that came out last week: Lume HD. It looks really cool, but I read some of the reviews on the iPhone version and the general consensus is that the game is way too short. One person said there is only 10 minutes of game play. Too bad, because the visuals are sharp.

    Oh, I know we're the last people to get new releases. That's okay anyway - it's not like I don't have a million other things to play!
