So I created a game club account with BigFish Games today because I really wanted to play PuzzleQuest. Which is an unusual match3/RPG.

Yes, you heard right! A match3-RPG, who would have thunk it?

Not wanting to pay full price for the game, I thought I’d check out their game club. Which basically means if you join you only play $7.99 US for any game in their catalogue provided you buy at least one game per month for the next 12 months.

Now, I’ve bought quite a few games online before, but never from a major portal, so I wanted to see if there would be more on offer than the usual fare of casual-cutesy-crap.

Luckily, Big Fish actually do have a reasonable collection of games that I would actually pay money for, if you like point-and-click adventure games (and I do) then they have a number of them. But for some reason they put them in the puzzle->simulation category?

It’s a pity that the arcade->shooter category is looking pretty scrawny, but than again there are a few other indie game surprises scattered about throughout the catalogue.

So all in all pretty happy as $8 per game is pretty darn cheap.
