Redrum

Ditto LizzieK!!
I visited my sister and she had bought this game, we started playing it, and I too couldn't believe BF would even consider this game!! Sick indeed!!

Different strokes for different folks is what I say...again, there is a warning about the graphic nature of the game right on the download page. If someone is not into this sort of game then they don't have to download it. It's BF's choice to distribute it and it's our choice as consumers to either buy it or not.

Let's see if enough people whine about if BFG takes it off their site. I HOPE NOT!

I do not think any of us are whining, but giving our opinion. I did look up the difinition of dark and it does fit . Anyone that likes the game I am glad for you and hope that you do enjoy it. I tried it, I didn't like it but that does not mean I want to remove it from their site. Happy gaming

I hear you sillyfeet, as I stated in my post, I was visiting my sister and played the game with her, which she had bought from BF. It's not something that I would download on my system. I am a member of BF and chose not to download the game after the warning.
Have a lot of BF games on my system, always watch the video,totally trust their judgment on games, but so glad I didn't get this one! It was very disturbing to me, from what I was reading from the story line, and playing the game with her.
Really wish BF would take this game off their web site, because it doesn't speak well for BF, which is far above this type of garbage, for a game.

I read a lot of murder mysteries. I enjoyed playing the Women's Murder Club game and a couple of the Law & Order Murder Mysteries. Redrum is in that same genre and, thus far, I am enjoying this game.

The only game of the ones you mentioned I have is ,Women's Murder Club.
With all due respect of your opinion, I have to disagree, no comparision. It doesn't torture children with drugs that eventually kill them, thus becomming an Angel.
What message are we sending our youth! Granted this is out there for our holiday this weekend for the USA. BF should not feature this game.

well mildrod, I respect your opinion of this game but the fact is we live in a free market economy where companies are free to offer their products and we as consumers are free to buy them or not. There is no reason why BF should have to remove this game from their catalog because some people object to it; those people can choose not to buy it. As for the argument that children shouldn't be exposed to this stuff...it clearly states this is not a game for children, the screenshots they show are nothing terribly bad and parents can and should monitor their children's online activity and purchases so that children can't buy a game rated for mature audiences.

i found it exciting and the story plot was fun.

sillyfeet, I know we live in a free marked society. Wheather or not BF decides to remove this program or not, is totally up to them, my point was that BF is way above this kind of game!

Good evening. Has anyone out there gotten the newest hidden object game? I have and I have played several levels so far. At the end of each level I get 'MDM Zinc v2 Error Handler errors. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling it but I still keep getting it. It gives me the option of debugging. I figured why not, maybe it will help, although I don't really know how to perform the debugging process. The game doesn't seem to store my name. I most likely will have to re-enter it again. Last night after I first played it, I thought I could pick up where I left off the next time that I played it. WRONG!!!! I had to start from the beginning again. If anyone out there has any suggestions please send them my way/

LGizmoQueen, welcome to the forums. I'll start with a silly question. Are you exiting the game before you quit? It has a clumsy exit and I just closed the game the first time and it didn't save anything. When I started the 2nd time, I found out how to exit.
...If you are exiting through Pause and the book (twice), then I'd recommend you contact Tech Support. Good Luck.

yeah, I found out how to exit just by accident. I already sent tech. support info about the MDM Zinc v2 error handler errors. waiting for response from them.

OK,,,that's good. I've never seen that error reported in the forums before. Hopefully, tech support will be able to help you. Good Luck

I played the free 1 hour of Redrum, does it get any better? It was kinda lame.

Well, I'm downloading now... We'll see how it is. Looks interesting, and timely for Halloween!

Dark??? Maybe so, but Ravenhearst was dark. Madame Fate was dark. I'll bet Return to Ravenhearst will be dark as well. Those are two of the best HOs ever! Love them both! Ravenhearst really creeped me out at the end!

I don't think there is anything wrong with Big Fish offering some games intended for mature players. I don't think it is "beneath" them. They have a lot of different kinds of gamers, and have to try to satisfy us all. I absolutely LOATHE time-management games! I mean, I really HATE them. But no way would I suggest that BFG take them off the rack.

Games are fantasy. Some fantasy is dark. Some of us like dark fantasy. Like Harry Potter, the darker they got, the better they were! I don't like movies with a lot of gratuitous violence (Saw, etc.), but the psychological horror movies are cool. "The Haunting" made back in the 60s was one of the scariest movies I ever saw, but it didn't actually have a lot of violence.

Iffn you don't like it, don't download it. But don't suggest that it should be removed. Like TV, it has an off switch, LOL. At least BFG gives us a preview before we buy it!

Downloaded and purchased, can not really say why, except I wanted to finish it, after testing it.

Any game added to the list counts towards the free stuff as long as you bought it in October, regardless of when it's added to the list, so if you had bought it right out it would have counted. It will NOT count if you wait a few days to purchase it. You have to buy the games by midnight Oct. 31st Pacific Time (21 hours from now) for them to count towards the stuff. Just wanted to mention so you are not dissapointed.

I enjoyed the game so much i used a game credit after the trail but then it didnt last that long and it was all over in the flash i am quite unhappy with it because of that i do like games that are worth your money but this one i feel was waste of time and money i am very disappointed

Poodlebear, I think dtouchton doesn't want any more games to take them over the allocation for the mug.
