Death on the Nile - Deathly Boring

Advantages: Used up a couple of hours on an otherwise dull Sunday
Disadvantages: Nothing challenging about it

I've played a few of Agatha Christie's puzzle games, one of which involved Hercule Poirot and I really enjoyed them. This one however I found dreadfully poor and I'm not really sure what the creators were thinking of when they dreamt it up. Overview You take on the role of Poirot who must investigate a murder on board a cruise ship sailing up the Nile. Features * 14 suspects to interrogate * 12 investigation levels * 24 rooms with hidden clues * Mini games System Requirements * Windows 98 or above * 600MHz CPU * 128 RAM * 57MB Free Disk Space * Direct X 6 or above My Thoughts With all the other puzzle games I've played there's also been a bit of video play to go with them.

DEATH ON THE NILE MISSING OBS GAME

Advantages: KEEPS BRAIN ALERT
Disadvantages: NONE

DEATH ON THE NILE - Missing Objects Game from Big Fish Games. This game is very interesting as it takes the form of an investigation by Hercules Poirot, the Belgian detective from Agatha Christie's books. You seek various objects in various rooms on board the ship where several murders take place. Some of the objects are part of the clues i.e. part of a letter is found and a message asks who wrote the letter? There is a limited time to complete each section with only five hints in each one. In between each section is a mini quiz which can be skipped but some are fun to attempt. Throughout the game you can ask questions although I never tried this. When the end of the game is reached, the murder is revealed and we are back to day one and you could start again. You buy the game and then download it onto your pc which is a pain ...

The Blue Nile's Zenith...

Advantages: It's real music
Disadvantages: None

Background By the time the Blue Nile: - Paul Buchanan, Robert Bell and P.J. Moore had finished touring and promoting the previous album “Hats” they all felt burned out, Paul Buchanan remembers the early 90’s as a difficult time and so as to try and change things a bit the band decided to buy some equipment and travel to different cities rent a room and write some songs. This is what they did going to France, Italy, Holland and New York all the while writing and recording a few things. After the frantic time of the Hats album Paul said, “It felt very claustrophobic and we kept moving, in the process writing and throwing a lot of songs away we discarded most of the stuff we wrote till we finally got the 10 tracks that appear on “Peace at Last” by 1995. By the summer of 1996 the third ...
