Use this coupon code: DETECTIVE

And here's the link:

All they have is flash games for PC. Don't bother clicking on the link.

Yes, it is a casual games site, but they also carry a lot of point-and-click adventures, RPGs, and strategy games like Risk that were commercial releases that are now downloadable...

And as for casual games, they are the makers of Mystery Case Files games, which are excellent, and they have all the PopCap games like Peggle etc for $12 with the coupon.

$12 is better than spending $30 for the exact same games on DS and PSP... Half the games coming out for those platforms (especially DS) are at Big Fish in better and cheaper forms...

alot of better games there

They have a lot of great games. Most of them are fairly short though. And, there is no resale value like console games. If a particular game is available on the psp or ds, you would probably be better off getting that and then re-selling when you are done....

But, if you prefer PC games, this is a great deal. I used to play them all the time, before I got my 360...

Another great thing with Big Fish Games is their Game Club. With that, you can buy their games in bulk for as little as $6.99. Unfortunately, that coupon code doesn't work with Game Club. I usually save my Game Club credits for when they release something special like Mystery Case Files: Madame Fate or Aveyond 2 last week. Aveyond 2 is a Japanese style RPG for PC...50 hours of playtime for $7...not the greatest graphics but the gameplay is good...

I'm in gameclub too and plan on grabbing Aveyond 1 and 2. Odd that it's not listed in their "list all games" option. I wonder what else is not listed in there but a part of their games site? They come up fine when I do a name search. odd

Otty Ott

12-16-2007, 08:17 PM

Big Fish is weird about that. They only list their top 200-300 games at any time on their site. Older ones, like Aveyond 1, get dropped from the listings but are still available through search... I guess they want the focus on newer products...

They also have some commercial adventure games like Return to Mysterious Island and Safecracker, as well as some indie games like Avernum 4.

so far i dont see a difference.... plus i had to reboot my pc and all of the free trials i download wont work. all of my pogo games still work but bigfish dont. so i wont be spending cash there

Otty Ott

12-26-2007, 10:02 PM

Sorry you're having problems with it. The games work fine on all my PCs, so it probably is your specific configuration.

With the free online games, the graphics are way smaller, there are a lot fewer levels, sometimes there are features missing, like powerups, bonuses etc. And you have to deal with all the advertising BS... I like the game trials better myself. See what the game is really like for an hour and then use their Game Club to buy something I really like. Game Club is as low as $6.99 for a game.

You can say whatever you want about casual games, but PopCap rocks. Peggle, Chuzzle, Zuma, Bejeweled, Venice, Talismania, and my favorite...Hammerheads Deluxe... that game is a great stress reliever. Smash the heck out of garden gnomes!

How much would Puzzle Quest cost from Big Fish? $12? I don't want to create an account just to see the price.

Zbornak

01-07-2008, 02:33 PM

All their games are $20, so Puzzle Quest would be $10 with the 50% off. If the DETECTIVE coupon is no longer working, there are other ways to get it for $10. You can subscribe to their Game Club to get 2 games for $20, buy a prepaid card for $20 that's good for 2 games, or go to Hallmark.com and send a free e-card that includes a code for 50% any game.

Otty Ott

01-13-2008, 08:53 AM

DETECTIVE definitely works for 50% off, or $10 a game. You can even have multiple games in your cart and it will drop all of them to $10. If you do the Game Club, you can get them for as low as $6.99 a game, depending on how many you will commit to buy.

BIG FISH GAMES home page:

And you can install the games on multiple PCs! You can always go to your account on their web page and redownload any game you've purchased.

They just released "The Sims Carnival: SnapCity" It's like a simplified version of SimCity. Looks a lot like one of the early versions of that game...

Bookworm Adventures takes the Bookworm play mechanic and sets it into an almost RPG-like setting. It isn't as flashed out as Puzzle Quest, but it is still really fun. You battle monsters from Greek mythology by finding words in grids. The longer the word, the more damage it does. When you complete levels you gain new skills and powers that make you stronger and do more damage. It is really well done. Definitely worth $10...

Got it. Great game! Not as good as Puzzle Quest but damn good. I picked up Fairway Solitaire, too. If you like to golf, Fairway is really fun!

Otty Ott

02-04-2008, 10:04 PM

Yeah, I love Fairway Golf, too. It's still just jazzed-up Golf solitaire, but it's cool how they added in sand traps and water hazards into the card layouts and such. And it is sort of like an RPG in that you can customize your character and give him extra powers with new equipment etc.

I think it is really great that these "casual games" are getting more in depth and adding more strategy etc into them. Well, at least some of them are.

Big Fish just released Big City Adventure: Sydney Australia, the 2nd in that hidden object series. the first game, Big City Adventures: San Francisco, was definitely one of the better games in that genre. So if you like Mystery case Files, you'll probably like Big City Adventures, too.

Otty Ott

02-16-2008, 04:55 PM

Maybe because they are fun and relaxing? Not everything has to be some intense FPS...

I've been playing games for decades. I like casual games, hardcore games, PC games, console games...you name it. I don't know why so many "gamers" diss casual games. Casual games are just like hardcore games. Some are great and worth playing. Some suck. Find the good ones, no matter what genre, and play them. And skip the crap.

Yeah, I loved the Tradewinds series, both Legends (which is basically Tradewinds 3 and is set in middle eastern setting - think Ali Baba...) and tradewinds 2 which is trading in the Caribbean and dealing with pirates! And the Chocolatier series is good, too. Very similar. No battles in Chocolatier, though. Instead you have an arcade mini-game when developing recipes for items to trade.
