Buying downloads online

Carmen

Hi,
I have been looking to buy some 'seek and find' games online.
Could anyone please recommend a safe online site where I can buy and download them?
Many thanks

Can you provide some examples? I have no idea what you're talking about!

I know what you mean like agatha christie and mystery PI. I know Big Fish games you can buy downloads off them, but not sure if they are the cheapest.....i love them too

Here's the link http://www.bigfishgames.com/download-games/genres/15/hidden-object.html?channel=sem&identifier=usgoogwsseekf&afcode=afc2e49bab7d&src=bfgppcgoogwsseekf&sem=usgoogwsseekf&kw=seek%20and%20find%20games&adid=3585372074

HTH.

Hmm... Mystery P.I.: Lost in Los Angeles is £6.99 on Steam, £14.99 from PopCap. Not quite as cheap as Big Fish, but there may be some hidden charges awaiting you if purchase from outside the US of A.

Carmen

Thanks Clairibel and Tanglefoot,
What hidden charges might I incur Tanglefoot?

I've bought games from publishers overseas on occasion; Steam used to be one of them. Besides the 17.5% VAT - this was a while ago, you see - my bank also charged me an extra £1.50 for each purchase.

Oh, and here's another one for your consideration.

Clairibel, Have you bought from Bigfishm any problems?
I have tried to buy with Paypal, but I keep being asked for credit card details, which I am not prepared to give.
Any advice please?

No i haven't Carmen, but i knew of these as i had downloaded the trial versions of the games before but you only get 60 mins of play :eek: not sure, theres a forum on the site maybe some answers in there?

But i can't find them anywhere free, most say they are then you download and its just the demo :rolleyes:

I see what you mean about the credit card, its for a membership and they charge it every month, i have seen this with the one with virgin media..Oberon media and reduces the game price to £4.95 a game as long as your credit card is charged £4.95 a month or you can pay full whack at £14.95 which is a bit steep...think a lot of these sites are doing this membership thing...i wouldn't want to do it either!

If you check out the steam website tanglefoot put on there are some on there for as little as £6 which is not bad for about 15 hours play

Carmen

Thanks Clairibel and Tanglefoot,
I tried Bigfish and it was great for about six games :T but then would not open any games after loading Maybe I have had my free quota and now they want me to buy!
I will try to buy from Steam Tanglefoot.
