Nancy Drew: Alibi in Ashes Game Review

Nancy Drew: Alibi in Ashes was probably one of the most Nancy Drew games that sounded exciting, and everybody could not wait for the release of this game. This game was very fun, but at the same time it was also a let down. The trailers for this game, and the box art made it look like you could actually meet, and see one of the characters, Ned, but really they just showed you a picture of him. You can see what his face looked liked on Nancy's phone, and on the cover of the box. So that was a big let down, but overall it was a pretty entertaining game. You got to see Bess and George's face for the second time, but they redid their face which I didn't really like. I however did like Bess's new face, but I really disliked George's face. It wasn't really as good of a face like they had in Nancy Drew: Ransom of Seven Ships, but that's just my opinion. Overall I really liked this particular game just because of the setting, plot, and the use of characters, although like I said before, they should of physically included Ned Nickerson.

Just Started

I've just started playing Nancy Drew: The Final Scene today for all of you guys waiting on me. Also, I'm 6 minutes and 28 seconds into it! Yay!

Posted Blog???

I'm not sure what to blog about, so how about this. I bet most of you Nancy Drew fans have already seen the OFFICIAL COVER ART For the Nancy Drew Dossier, Nancy Drew: Ship of Shadows. If you haven't, here it is.

Sadly, this game is not in current production, instead it has been 'shelved' according to Her Interactive.

Nancy Drew: Alibi in Ashes

Nancy Drew: Alibi in Ashes has arrived! I've already got my copy, and I'll start on it as soon as possible. TRUST ME! I' going to hurry up on part 5 of Treasure in the Royal tower, because I've already finished Part 4, but didn't upload it. I need to get it all uploaded NOW!!!

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT... to me!!!

I would just like to put out there, that if there's anyone, and I mean ANYONEat all that thinks that ANY of my walkthroughs are poor quality, or not the best quality, just acceptable, then please send me some type of message telling me what Nancy Drew game to redo. Also, I've gotten some messages about this blog, and commenting. You DO NOT Need an account on this blog to post a comment, when posting a comment just put it as annomynous, that's one of the choices I have on commenting. In other words, ANYONE can comment!

Alibi in Ashes Next?

Since Alibi in Ashes is coming, I have a question to ask all of you out there, once I get Alibi in Ashes, should I immediatly just start doing a walkthrough for it the first chance I get? If so, after Alibi in Ashes, I'll just continue on with the rest of the Nancy Drew games. Please leave a comment on what you think, and I'll also have a poll up on the right of this post.

Next Game After Alibi in Ashes

SPOILER ALERT!!! THIS POST CONTAINS THE NEXT GAME TITLE AFTER NANCY DREW: ALIBI IN ASHES, IF YOU WANT TO WAIT UNTIL YOU SEE THE ENDING OF ALIBI IN ASHES TO FIND OUT WHAT THE NEXT NANCY DREW GAME IS, I SUGGEST YOU DON'T READ THIS POST!

I have just found out what the next game after Alibi in Ashes is, it's Called Nancy Drew: Tomb of the Lost Queen I don't have that much details on it, except for the fact that it takes place in Egypt, past Cairo.

Finished!... Again!

I've already finished Nancy Drew: Treasure in the Royal Tower two days ago, the next day after I finished uploading all the Message in a Haunted Mansion walkthroughs. I'm actually pretty proud of myself, because the day I started, I also finished on that day, which almost never happens. I was going to put it on YouTube the day I finished it, but couldn't. Then, yesterday, I was planning to edit all of the parts of the game and post it on YouTube all at once. Sadley I couldn't. So today my goal it to finish editing all the parts, and then posting it on YouTube together. So, hopefully I'll have it up by today, around 3:40, or 4 something PM.

Nancy Drew: Message in a Haunted Mansion

Finished!

I just got done with Nancy Drew: Message in a Haunted Mansion, so hopefully that'll be up on my YouTube channel soon.

Another Message in a Haunted Mansion Update

Sorry, everybody but I have some technical difficulties on Nancy Drew: Message in a Haunted Mansion. I started today, but reviewing the videos, I realized that a tiny bit of the picture was cut off! And I'm a perfectionist, which isn't always a good thing so... tomorrow I'm going to try again. The first time I started recording it turned out perfect! But then that's when I realized that the picture was chopped off. So I got the recorder set up a different way so it captures the WHOLE picture so nothing's cut off, even if it isn't much that was cut off in the first place... Anyway, after I got it perfect I started recording it again, but then being a perfectionist, and playing an old Nancy Drew game, the very beginning will flash up to the main menu, then it'll stop. Sadley as I've said before, I'm a perfectionist so I won't allow any minor glitches, or flashes in my video walkthroughs, sorry! I'm also kind of frustrated that the beginning and the gameplay was perfect the first time of recording, except for the cut-off picture part, but then when I fix that the game decides to start flashing in the beginning! It's like it doesn't want me to do a video walkthrough of this game or something! So now you guys know why its been a while since I've uploaded any of my videos. I'll try again tomorrow, but I have plans, but hopefully I'll make it work.

Message in a Haunted Mansion Update

So I'm kind of mad that I haven't posted anything on my YouTube channel for... 6 days!? Whoa, I've got to upload some video walkthrougs on my channel as soon as possible! Tomorrow, or today I'm going to start Nancy Drew: Message in a Haunted Mansion, tomorrow is the latest that I'm starting it, then I'll upload it to YouTube, and I can assure you, it WILL NOT be like Nancy Drew: Danger on Deception Island again. Danger on Deception Island took me to long to upload it even though I finished it. No it will NOT be like that again!
