So I bought Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles and I finished it. Wonderful game that I’d suggest to anyone. The only real downside is that I got through the game in 17 hours. I by no means sped through the game either, only playing it during my 2 hours of commuting each day. So in about 2 weeks time I had it finished up and was ready to move on.
I was about half way through Hotel Dusk, so I decided to finish that one. HD is so very different to any Final Fantasy game. It might as well be part of another world. It’s quirky, dark and just plain odd. Defnitely one for those who like a bit of a mind bender in their gameplay.
So with those 2 games finished it was time to trade them in. Oddly enough Hotel Dusk netted me more in trade than Final Fantasy, but I wasn’t one to complain. Knowing I have £20 in trade I went off to see what I could find to play next.
Nothing in the current chart looked interesting. I do want to get Indiana Jones Lego, but I was feeling like walking off the beaten track and finding something odd and unusual like Hotel Dusk. To the pre-owned shelf for me then. Of course I found a lot of the chart and kids games in there, as always. Hiding in the back of a stack though was a game I’d not seen or even heard of; Secret Files: Tunguska. It’s a point and click puzzle adventure alá Myst and even Hotel Dusk. The story is good and the game makes some good use of the touch screen which I always enjoy. I’m only about 8 hours in and I find myself anticipating loading it up every day.
I’m sure you’re wondering what my point is to this, well here it is. Sometimes the games I find that are unusual and unheard of can be the best chance you take in the game store. I always wonder if I’m wasting my money when I buy a game that I know nothing about. Then I find little gems like this and I’m glad I took the chance.
