My what a handsome HOG to play!! Studded with jewels,gold,broaches,potions and tiaras!! The graphics are extraordinary,colourful and bright.So, along with the pleasant music,sharp voiceovers & ambient sounds it all adds up to great play.
The Prince has been exiled & turned into a frog but has fashioned his own monument to himself as you will see with the help of an interactive map of all buildings and levels.
The game is equally divided into mini games and HOS, none of which are too arduous that they cannot be solved in good time and with lots of fun.
A well made & easy to follow HOG in present day Italy following an author caught up in solving an age old dilemma of a young couple from the 1800's who are still reaching out to one another begging for their souls to be brought together finally!!
Although this game consists of many more Mini games than HOS neither are so difficult that you will throw your hands up in despair. lol The graphics are clean & bright and true to life. The music and ambient are acceptable and non too harsh for this storyline.
I fully enjoyed this game and find it hard not to recommend it to one and all.
I recommend this game!

Blood and Ruby
Use ancient magic, alongside your wits, as you hunt for your missing brother in a haunting city possessed by vampires!
Some games are just more sophisticated than others with this one being the exception. Older game or new talent? This appears to be an origional storyline,no voiceovers just written dialogue and cartoonish characters that pose & never move a muscle. Not much imagination in the HOS department and graphics could have been sharper more real than just picture book quality.
Aside from that I really enjoyed this little trip to Venice,Italy with the past 1500's meeting the present & along with magic potions of frogs & snails and puppy dogs' tails mixed to ward off the Vamps it all added to another game experience.
I still recommend this game as a relaxing easy goer.
Origional storyline in another sinister looking castle with lots of twists & turns trying to locate your sister married to the eccentric owner. Along with colourful & richly drawn graphics in the period circa 1800's [my favourites] we have several good mini games and intricate HOS. Lots of good stuff to sort through with a helpful silhouette finder to assist you. Music is soothing,ambient sounds not over bearing. I enjoyed this game except for the 5 sec. loading of almost every scene taking ones' attention away from the game itself!!
However, even with that one fault I highly recommend this game.
Origional storyline set in a huge mansion/institution, former patient tries to find some clue to her former life. This is beyond spooky with walking shadows hehind grimy plate glass windows. Certainly not for the faint hearted with suggestion you play at night with sound ON, lights OFF!! Voice over, music, graphics and HOS all get 5*s for origionality. This is a scary albeit enjoyable game to play at any time of day.
This storyline was well put together and along with the sharp graphics and excellent voiceovers I was impressed. The music is of a spooky quality that fit the bill to a T. I finished the entire game and liked the final dramatic outcome, of which I will keep to myself!!..lol The HOS I admit were a little frustrating at times with some being quite spookily dark but playable all the same. Am a little surprised the ratings are not higher.
I enjoyed playing this game very much.
I recommend this game!

I love & have played all the Agatha Christie series & the '4.50 from Paddington' is no exception. You get to sleuth around too! Miss Marple will ask your opinion in selected stretches who you think dunnit just like you are a real detective. The characters & storyline are too good and along with lifelike graphics,visuals and sound it all adds up to be quite an experience. The HOS are not all so easy but acceptable & still lots of fun. I enjoyed this game very much and will play it again.
Once upon a time in the small, undistinguished town of Silentville people started disappearing. Help uncover the mystery behind these disappearances and save the town from a curse!
A well made HOG in a small town many would want to explore I think. I know I would! Graphics are so wonderfully done in such true to life that you feel you are in the game itself. The storyline is unique with people talking but not moving and they don't know why?There is only one person in this story who can give you this conclusion!!! The HOS are interactive and although somewhat dark in some scenes they are so much fun to play this can be overlooked. The sound quality excellent. I highly recommend this game!
The graphics without flaw, the scenery amazing and so true to real, the storyline 'historical' and very well put together.All was very impressive and easy to follow. *Even the credits were put together with all the writers etc dressed in character costumns.*
I really enjoyed it and recommend it highly. I am positive to play it again.
I recommend this game!

Beautiful graphics,sound,music and story. Wave of the future games no doubt but was unable to make it do what it was supposed to do. The tuning pin would not stay and just gave me a headache. I would love to have bought the game but for this tiny problem.
