It had a lot of potential, with good game play, atmosphere, graphics, storyline and sound effects with a medieval genre, but I could not believe how short it was. I thought it was just beginning and then it was the end. You do not get value for money with this. It was over before it started.
I don't recommend this game.

Journey: The Heart of Gaia
After being kidnapped, Liz must free the Underworld from the tyranny of Scartaris Umbra.
This was in the HOG section of Big Fish but there are no HOS in it. No hidden object scenes. It is more of an adventure game really. It has very puzzley game play and lots of mini games with a very slow charging skip button. It's atmospheric, with good environmental sound effects and along the way, you will meet three very different and interesting characters, with different skills, and they will accompany you on your journey and help you on your quest. I don't normally like painted graphics but they are beautiful in this game. I would say it falls into the steampunk genre.
Not as much fun as other Delicious games I've played. All that rubbing, clicking and holding gets tiresome after a while, as do some of the challenges. Still enjoyed it though.
I recommend this game!

Jodie Drake and the World in Peril
Help Jodi discover hidden treasures in long forgotten ruins, while fighting the evil professor Bergen and his cronies!
The graphics, gameplay and environmental sound effects created a great atmosphere. Among the mini games, there are mazes to explore, and althought they don't do skips, they have hints and aren't too bad to complete. I wasn't keen on the HOS, where you find silouhettes of objects, of which there were many. I prefer straight forward word ones and there weren't many of those. It didn't spoil my enjoyment of the game but I thought it was a little short too and that was disappointing.
Nice graphics and nice music, very relaxing. I think I'd prefer a more linear style of play. I thought the fun facts scraped the bottom of the barrel. I got a bit frustrated when I'd got all the special items, plus all facts, and still didn't get a green tick. You just have to keep playing a level, sometimes you'll play it once, or twice, or four or five times before it gives you that green tick. It'll give you that green tick when it's good and ready to and not before! I found it's best to keep shuffling between scenes and eventually it'll happen.
I recommend this game!

Great Adventures: Lost in Mountains
A famous scientist has gone missing! It’s up to his daughter to find him and keep his powerful formula out of the hands of evil!
It reminds me of the old spectrum and amstrad games like Movie, where you adventure through lots of rooms and have to find a way to open locked doors. There's a basic Sim aspect to the two characters. You have to make sure they're fed, rested and cheered up! I like that each character has different skills and so you have to use them according to their abilities. You collect bones to make up hints. Not enough bones or hints. I'd have preferred it with unlimited hints. It got too cluttered, too soon, with too many rooms and too many different things to do, none of it linear. I'd love to see a more linear version without the need to feed the characters. It was far too short. I was very surprised that it ended when it did.
I recommend this game!

Hidden Object Movie Studios: I'll Believe You
Watch “I’ll Believe You” in the screening room, pay attention to the props used in each scene, and then find them on location!
It's more of a movie than a HOG and the HOS are not that good, very basic with three hints each. What I didn't like about it is the Spot The Difference puzzles. There are no hints or skips on them, so if you get stuck, you're up the creek without a paddle. I got to the end of the game and I enjoyed it but it could have been better. If you're looking for a decent HOG, move on. If you're looking for something a bit less run of the mill, a bit different and highly original, then this is for you. It's old school too and you'll get a cute sci fi movie, that could have made a great Netflix series with a little work. The movie is about an hour long, consisting of clips in between the HOS. The lead guy reminded me of a young Johnny Knoxville.

Inspector Magnusson: Murder on the Titanic
Unravel a tale of murder on the RMS Titanic. Help Professor Magnusson solve puzzles and expose clues to piece together evidence of a dark conspiracy!
I like the detailed authentic scenes of the titanic in this relaxing hidden object game. There are some basic puzzles to be solved in some scenes. It is a little short but graphics are nice and I like the way you become involved in the story as the inspector's assistant.
Another wonderful Delicious game. One of my favourites. Funny, well paced script and lots of variety regarding the restaurants. There's even a halloween style horror cafe for all fans of the macabre. I also like the farm/range cafe, the bikers pub and Betty's burger bar. They're all fun. The game play is good too, getting more difficult as you progress through the chapters but not too difficult to complete, with just the right amount of challenge. A great game and excellent value for money.
I recommend this game!

Dream Day Wedding Bella Italia
Create the romance of a lifetime! From the perfect proposal to cutting of the cake, bring this charming adventure to life!
This was a real challenge at times, as a lot of the objects were blended into the scenes or behind other objects or just simply tiny. At one point, I nearly jacked it in (during the moth scene) and I don't like giving up on any game, but I perservered and managed to finish it. I could have played it again on advanced level and gained a bonus scene, but I thought better of it. I liked the graphics and enjoyed the challenge for the most part, but it's not relaxing at all, especially on timed level. It's also a very long game or maybe it just felt like it!
