I played Tasty Blue, which I thought was a better game overall and I didn't get motion sickness with it, well not that much, but I was so sick with this one! I got through it by playing just a level or two a day, so it took me a couple of months to finish. Just talking about it makes my stomach lurch! I think Tasty Blue was more of a side on view but this is played from a birds eye view and so messes with the eye to brain to inner ear co-ordination a bit more.
I recommend this game!

Dream Day Wedding: Married in Manhattan
Plan the ultimate dream day in the Big Apple by hunting for hidden objects in this modern day Adventure.
Good environmental sound effects and much clearer graphics than the first couple of Dream Day's in the series. The scenes are lovely and objects are easier to find for the most part..I love the little bluebirds you can find in the scenes that go towards gaining more hints. It's timed but still remains quite a relaxing game. I had to play some levels twice or more. A challenging HOG with immediate skips on puzzles. There's a mulitple choice storyline but the endings are the same. I'll be playing it again to find out what happens when you make other choices in the stories.

G.H.O.S.T. Hunters: The Haunting of Majesty Manor
As a new investigator for G.H.O.S.T. Hunters you have been called to Majesty Manor to investigate a possible haunting or to uncover a clever hoax.
This is an old game with back to back hidden object scenes. It's quite challenging as it's timed with limited hints. I like the creepy atmosphere and sound effects. I'm not overly keen on the hidden object dectector that you use when you need a hint. It's quite clunky and not that easy to find the hidden objects..I didn't like the dark rooms at the end but it did get a bit more exciting at that point.
I recommend this game!

Hidden World of Art 2: Undercover Art Agent
Restore the paintings of great artists that have been spoiled by mysterious thieves! Expose their plans and free the world of art!
If you like classical paintings, as well as back to back relaxing HOS, then you will likely love this game. It is good value for money also, with 40 different scenes to enjoy.
A fun and relaxing game with nice graphics and environmental sound effects. The gameplay was very well paced, smooth and steady. Not too many mini games and just enough HOS to keep me interested. Hints and skips throughout but there is no skip for the final puzzle at the last scene. You have to look after a cute but poorly raccoon at one stage and it was the highlight of the game for me.

Game play wise, this is like the addictive game, Feeding Frenzy. Its style, graphics, humour and sound effects reminds me of a cross between Monty Python and Yellow Submarine. Playing two player adds a competitive, exciting edge. It's a whole lot of fun to play with friends or family. I'm playing it a second time, on my own, and it's just as much fun, but perhaps a tad more relaxing than two player.
There are twenty two wonderful fine art paintings in this hidden object game. I could only truly appreciate it after playing it three times, simply because it was so relaxing and you don't get to see everything in the paintings the first time around. I like the system where you buy hints and you have to be careful you don't buy too many, otherwise you run out of money and can't buy any hints at all, or decorate the mansion, but the mansion section is just a sideline thing and is not needed. The game is enough in itself.
I recommend this game!

Haunted Domains
Manage a haunted hotel for comical creatures of the night! Haunted Domains will have you howling with delight!
I can't fault it. It's everything a time management game should be. Great graphics, sound and characters, ranging from The Invisible Man (who is also a flasher) to Count Dracula himself. I really like the Workaholic Zombies and the Yeti is so cute! The game play is excellent. It builds in difficulty over several chapters. There are several hotels to renovate and you can buy upgrades to help things along. I find the last hotel the most exciting because the last few levels are a good challenge. I really enjoyed this time management game, which stands the test of time.
I recommend this game!

Laura Jones and the Secret Legacy of Nikola Tesla
Help young Laura Jones and her grandmother discover Nikola Tesla's greatest invention! Discover Tesla`s secret legacy!
I played it about twelve months ago, finished it and for some reason, I enjoyed it a lot more. I didn't enjoy it this time round and I didn't finish it. I usually enjoy games more the second time I play them. I was so close to the end as well. The main problem is, I don't like mini games and there are no skips on the majority of them. Some of the HOS were fun. I liked finding and catching the mice and the ferret and collecting the eggs. The mice were the highlight. I wish there had been more scenes like that.
I don't recommend this game.

The Curse of the Thirty Denarii
Help Blake and Mortimer protect a precious artifact and the fate of all mankind! Find the thirtieth denarii!
I just loved this game, which played like a comic strip. There's not many like this around, and some of you might say, thank heavens, but it was so quirky and unusual and fun.The comic strip encompasses a good story line and dialogue, with a typical HDO Adventure format. Six available hints on each scene, that take ages to recharge, and basic mini puzzles, which take about three minutes to skip. Decent environmental sound effects, graphics not so good, old game, old school, but the actual comic strip is well drawn. There is a bonus game section at the end, where you can replay the very basic mini games. I thought it was rather short. I've bought quite a lot of these HDO Adventures (for some reason) and there really isn't that much mileage after the demo.
