Super Sleuth

I love Nancy Drew PC games. Go ahead and say it, we all know it's true. I'm a nerd. I enjoy playing computer games meant for 10 year olds. But I am not ashamed. These games let you take on the alias of Nancy Drew and snoop around and solve mysteries, the whole works. Now granted these aren't your average whodoneit murder mystery plots, but hey a little originality is good for you. The earlier games closely followed the Nancy Drew book series but the latest ones only loosely follow several different plots, which is why I think they have been lacking lately. I'm not saying that they're bad now, just that they have not been improving much. The plot has been softened to fit the younger crowd and the overly concerned parents of those children. I respect that Her Interactive, the company that makes these games, actually takes the time to listen and attempt to meet all of the needs and wants of the consumers but you can't please everyone and trying to do so results in a product that is less than it should be. Now there is a new game coming out this October and I am really really hoping that it will be on par with the older games, with updated graphics of course, I don't think anyone want's a repeat of those horrible 2D graphics. So the plot for this game sounds a lot like a mix of The Grudge and Ghost Hunters and I am very very excited to try it out. It sounds like it has a lot of potential, mostly because they have finally decided to stop trying to please everyone and have gone with a ghost theme despite those opposed to the mention of ghosts and those too scared to play it. Now i'm not one to judge, but if you don't like the plot then obviously don't play it. Oh, and also please don't be selfish by tailoring the game to fit just your needs and then be stubborn when someone else suggests something else. I am so tired of reading the appalled comments about this game that hasn't even come out yet. I mean really, save it. Who cares? That's the way it is. Too scary? Don't play it. Against your values? Don't play it. Sounds stupid? Don't play it! That may sound mean but just stop spoiling it for everyone else by being a sourpuss. Anyway I found this website dedicated entirely to the new game: Shadow At The Water's Edge. It's a bit reminiscent of my favorite game, Message in a Haunted Mansion. I have already recruited many of my friends to these execellent mystery games and I hope that you will risk your reputation for the enjoyment of sleuthing. I shall keep you updated on the progress of this new game and I will most definitely review it once I buy it. Peace!
