Well, I'm not writing a review because I didn't finish the game but I can't help myself to make a comparison with Dark Motives on the same platform.

Dark Motives is perhaps the clone of the PC version but at least, we had some liberties and the reflex to play like on PC for those having already that experience. You were free to choose what you wanted to do, to ask questions by yourself, to choose the tool, etc. etc. It was just missing some music, some hard evidence to collect,...

Here on Deadly Intent, the DS is a collection of four new cases (and I can truly say that it is sufficient when you see some minigames), exclusive to it and not being a clone of the PC. True, when you see what you need to do on PC, what is proposed in DS is more inspired by the mechanics of CSI: NY.

If at least we have some new music, the new team and cartoon graphics that are really good, I'm just having some neg

Don't look at me like that, I've finally bought the last CSI game for PC... and DS. Yeah, I know, putting 54 euros for two games that will perhaps not be as good as Hard Evidence is a lot but at least, I've box scans, another reason to write FAQs and...

Uhm... well, perhaps trying to get back to the old way of playing CSI. Don't get me wrong, CSI: New York is interesting for the graphics, the music and a new way of playing but well, I'm wondering if Telltale wouldn't have done better than Legacy Interactive... I'm still NOT having my golden star for analysis - labo, despite having done the right thing (according to Gamezebo - No, I'm not following their walkthrough, I'm playing without looking, only when I've finished a case and compared notes with it for the future .txt file which will appear on Neo, GF and Supercheats). And I've just noticed that the French version is having slight diff

Why the enthusiasm? Because I've finally updated my Achievement guide for TF2. I wasn't really in the mood for doing it when Spy vs Sniper was out and with FB, well, it has taken time to say to me "well, now, it's time to get order in it: Halloween is out, SvS is out since May, an achievement for Scout changed, new maps and new modes were out and perhaps you should add a section about hats as there are a looooot now".

I'm working on it since Saturday and I've finally managed to do the Sniper AND the Spy today with some information added or removed for the other classes.

Well, now that the thing is settled, I'm going back to CSI: NY game. Can I just strangle Legacy Interactive? Between hard minigames that shouldn't be so hard and the fact that despite doing everything right, some stuff aren't triggered in a good way.... Well, anyway, I'm going back to do again the second case for at least h

Don't look at me like that: I just wasn't in the mood for that game. But I've managed to write some parts during the year that passed and I've finished the fourth and fifth cases yesterday and today. The FAQ - in French - is submitted, just need to find words for the review...

At least, it's better and more accurate that the French walkthrough at one of the most known sites in my language. Not only it's better to read because it's not a text (but different sections) but also, it's not with false information. I'm always making sure of that.

Also, I've also continued Doom 3 and I still need to update the achievement guide for TF2 with spy, sniper and halloween. If only it wasn't a double update and if only it wasn't out during my FB addiction...

Now, I can truly play CSI: NY, now that I've finished what I considered as a condition sine qua non for making eventually a walkthrough.

Also, I hope

Uhm yeah, Arakawa is just amazing... I mean, she's giving a fuuuuulllllll of stuff for Royai fans (and thaaaaaat hug seen in preview.....).

Anyway, that's a good twist of plot, even if I'm waiting for a scanlation. Oh yeah, I forgot, it's the raw that's out and after the cliffhanger (can't wait to see it animated), it's good to see that Riza was still alive after the cut (a medical studend concluded that Riza could live for 15 minutes if she was applying a good pressure on her throat, because it wasn't a blood vessel - the carotid I think - that was "important" in term of instant death) and it's good to see that Mustang got again a scare (after Envy, remeeeeember when he was attacking Riza), well, now, I don't care about Mustang's whereabouts, I got a greeeeeeat scene - I mean, I don't care about what will happen, I just want to see if Arakawa will show us what will happen after the Homu

Yeah, Facebook (FB) is beginning to be a real displeasure for me. Not because I get bored by the games but because they're currently changing the layouts, that people with whom I'm playing are suddenly getting a fever of gifts everyday (I can't get under 50 requests, each time I'm reaching 80, the next second, I'm at 91) and that I got disconnected every five minutes yesterday without forgetting that games that aren't slow usually are now a pain in the ass in the speed of loading.

This is just a joke. Getting disconnected is something I hate. Or I have a virus (but my recent scan of monday says no) or FB is getting serious problems. I know that recently, they had some problems but I didn't know that it would become that!

The world of FB seems great but well, for us, users that were used to the old version, we're getting slowly exasperated by the problems.

I've already made disappeared some

Hello all!

Well, just a word to say that I've been happy to submit profiles again. It's not a lot but I'm taking it easy.

I want also to say that now that I gathered the courage to write here again and to contribute, I plan to do it daily. Perhaps not like before but well, expect more profiles for casual games on PC and perhaps iPhone (but with titles changing every version, it's really hard to follow what is what).

Also, uhm, I'm happy to see that FMA Brotherhood, you know the second season of FMA in the world of anime, season that is finally following the manga line, is really following it. I've seen in an AMV Riza screaming at Lust like in the manga and I think that we're being soon at the chapters looking back in Ishval (more Royainess with young Roy and young Riza).

I can't wait to see Olivier Armstrong animated, and to see Chapters 94-95.

But well, as you may now, Chapter 100 was out an

Uhm well, the good news perhaps first?

Well, I'm currently winning my battle against Facebook games addiction. Which means that I could be back on Neo any day now.

The bad news? Well, it's the fact that I'm playing more on TF2 as a result.

I just hate Valve right now and their hats. I can't idle, I need my computer and I can't sleep with it still on.

So, the result is that I'm going on the server I'm admin and I'm helping and cleaning it. Which means that I'm kinda playing instead of idling.

Fortunately, it's getting less in the day since a few days... but I'm reading more now on WWII and I'm just refreshing my mind on JAVA with a book and I plan to read about PHP 5 and XML.

True, I needed a break of Neo but now, I just want to get back to contributing (if the contribution form wasn't making me a bad surprise for the second time in four months, just when I'm trying to get back to Neo).

Well, fo

Yeah yeah, I know I promised Football review but currently, Zynga is doing some changes to their games - Special Forces is ugly now, Fashion Wars is finally getting some order in the job, Vampire Wars is growing with features, Mafia Wars is in the same case and with a possibilty of a new Mafia Wars Russia, Farmville is growing everyday, etc.. -.

And when I'm finally done with my games, I'm helping my mom with some work we're doing. We're renovating the TV room/diner room/relax room or if you prefer, we're doing the first floor. So you can imagine that I've totally let Neo out of that.

Well, today, I felt like contributing!

And for not changing, it's for iPhone.

It's feeling good. Because the poor iPhone section hasn't really growing up since last time I've checked. I've provided a good start for the iPhone section with all the games contributed. And now, I'm believing that I was perhaps the

Stay tuned, I've decided to review Football by Zynga and I've just made my screenshots :).


Apart from that, I've found casual games in French and in keep cases, which means that I can finally buy them without a credit card or downloading them in English with ads. For what I saw, you have MFC: Ravenhearst, Mystery PI: The Lottery Ticket (I bought it) and Vegas Heist (alos bought), Hidden Expedition: Titanic, Jewel Quest 2, Zuma, The Lost cases of Sherlock Holmes, Mahjong Quest 2, Mortimer Becket and the Mystery of Spooky Manor and a lot of others ones I know but well, I can't get the names in English.

Damn, I had to buy only two because I know myself. I would have bought the entire collection except for Jewel Quest 2 and Mahjong Quest 2.

I'll see if I can find them on ebay in keep case.
