Great fun and a new concept in TM. You control the weather by buying basic weather such as sun or clouds then combining them to create the weather you need to make your crops grow, eg two basic clouds combined creates rain, you can also break apart your combinations to get back to your basics. You can also build solar stations, wind turbines etc to create power for factories you buy to process your crops. There is lots to do on this one and some tactical thought is required. The graphics were great, music was average and the level of challenge was just right, you have to work to get expert. I definitely recommend this game even to non TM fans. It keeps you on your toes and doesn't get boring or repetitive.
I recommend this game!

???????? is how I felt about this one, it started off great, got through the first couple of levels and really enjoyed them, the problem I had was with the instructions which are given to you in picture form and just not explanatory enough. Maybe i'm a bit dumb but I couldn't progress in the game because I couldn't fully understand what I was supposed to do. I'm disappointed because it looked like it was going to be a bit similair to echo the dolphin but with an octopus and I loved that game. The graphics are cartoony and the sound is well themed and cute. Well worth trying as you may understand the instructions better than me and it looked like it was going to be a good one.
I recommend this game!

I liked the idea behind this game and was looking forward to creating new species as I matched. Unfortunately, the game did not live up to my expectations, at first it was easy to make the new species but after the first couple, it just took ages to get to the next level, there were no power ups to help or make it more interesting and it got very boring, very quickly. I played for 25 minutes and that was enough for me. The graphics were fine and the music was ok - the gameplay was tedious!
I don't recommend this game.

This is a great game, my free hour was up before I realised it (just when I was winning too) The gameplay is like carpet boules but you use discs to score which you fire in to the centre. The person who plays first has to get their disc into the score zone then the next player has to touch that disc before scoring themselves. After you complete a level it shows you tactics for scoring and preventing your opponents from scoring, these are well worth a read. The grapohics were well rendered and the music was apt and I think this is a keeper. Give it a try.
I recommend this game!

Fairly average HO/Adventure, graphics a little fuzzy at times but not too bad and the music was ok. The storyline was alright, not particularly gripping (I started skipping the cutscenes) Puzzles aren't too difficult and objects are fairly easy to find. One thing that stops this game from being better is the Hint button. I had to use it occasionally to find out what to do next and even if there is nothing to do in the scene it uses it up and you have to wait for it to charge again. The free hour was more than enough for me and I leave the game unfinished with no regrets.
I don't recommend this game.

Although I agree with some of the reviewers about the originality of the story and gameplay, I still found this game to be an outstanding example of it's genre. The storyline is well done and the graphics are very well rendered. The music or background noise is inoffensive and sits well with the theme of the game. The puzzles are easy and the objects aren't hard to find and although there is no hint button for what to do next, you can work it out with a little effort and revisiting of scenes. I bought this one and am still playing after 4 hours even though I haven't got stuck for too long anywhere yet. Sometimes it's nice to play a game and just enjoy doing it without taxing your brain too much.
I recommend this game!

Thouroughly enjoyed this one. Just the right mix of puzzle and HO for me. I did initially have a problem getting past the chess puzzle (couldn't get anything to move) but I waited until the skip was full and used it. The rest of the game makes up for it though. The HO are of two types being The hoarders room wth a list and also circles you have to complete. Items are easy to find with the odd one being a bit more challenging and the puzzles are nicely varied. The hint button recharges quite quickly and there are instructions on the puzzles if you need them. All in all this game is definitely a purchase for me. Enjoy!

While the gameplay is somewhat like the salon games, the twist is enough to make it different. I thouroughly enjoyed this one and the idea and storyline are well thought out. Graphics are good and I even enjoyed the music. You have to send zombies back to the grave by offering them different treatments before putting them into coffins, there are also different mini games at each station each with it's own gruesome (but fun) twist. At first I felt sorry for the zombies but then they escaped and infected me! The levels start off nice and easy but become more challenging. The upgrades are basically training butler zombies that you catch to help you and making the machines quicker/more comfortable. There is definitely enough variety and challenge to make this one worth purchasing. Enjoy!!
I recommend this game!

Pretty much the standard supermarket tm but with ghosts. Run around constantly refilling shelves and serving at the till. The upgrades give you bigger shelves and more room in your restock trolley. I think you may move on to different shops but I got bored after the first half an hour and wasn't interested enough to carry on to find out. The targets are not particularly difficult to beat and there is just not enough to keep my interest.
I don't recommend this game.

I've played and completed this game several times now having purchased it two years ago. I'm not going to go into detail about the storyline, suffice to say it is very original and very involving. It can be a little frustrating at first as you don't have a clue what's going on and the storyline unfolds quite gradually but once you get onto the train it's a rollercoaster ride to the end. You really need to buy this one as you can barely scratch the surface with the free hour. I cannot rate this game highly enough and there's a Syberia 2 as well if you love this game as much as me!
I recommend this game!
