I played the full trial of Angkor and the hour just flew by! It reminds me of the first PC game I ever played - Jewel Quest - with its bright tiles and ever-increasing challenges. This is a Match-3 game with mini-games and jigsaws included and also a building game as your efforts create the mysterious Kila. Clean, clear graphics, non-intrusive music and a gentle storyline. You can play in any of three modes - I chose Relaxed - and each level was an absolute joy! Highly recommended for all players. :-)
I recommend this game!

I am so pleased to be able to offer my review for this game after playing the CE! It is visually stunning, just beautiful and has a story that makes sense and runs smoothly. Instructions are clear and mini-games are fun, too with the option to play M3 instead.
I didn't want this game to end! My only grumble is that there is no wallpaper of the gorgeous black panther who is one of the lead characters. :-) People who love animals and mythology will adore this. 5 stars for everything.

I see that 50 players have already reviewed this latest offering from Eipix, so maybe there isn't much more to say, except that it is so engagin and engrossing I wanted it to continue after the Bonus Chapter.
The scenes are dark but not dull, there is a "real" plot, narrated by a chatty old guy who clearly knows what's what about the mysterious old house and the game flows perfectly.
Lots to do and collect and - great for me - the opportunity to replay in the Bonus Chapter and catch up on your collectibles and achievements. Go for the CE!

What can I say about this game that hasn't already been said? Another gem in the Jewel Match series which never fails to delight. Here we play to develop barren landscapes with beautiful flora and fauna. The colours are glorious and each completed level may be kept as a screen saver. There are plenty of challenges, even in relaxed mode which is the one I prefer, lots of power-ups and extra boards to explore.
I bought this straight after the trial as I didn't want to stop playing!

This excellent new game in the Dark City series engages the player as a detective on the lookout for a werewolf at Munich's Oktoberfest! It captures all the slightly weird excitement of a European fair in the autumn with great graphics and sound. There's lots to do - morphs, collectable items and a notebook where you can store details of evidence and characters as the game unfolds. It has a proper story with logical activities, though the mini-games might be a bit easy for seasoned players. I enjoyed this game so much I bought it IMMEDIATELY after playing the full trial!

This dazzling match-3 reminds me so much of the much-loved Bejewelled. It plays smoothly, extras and challenges are clearly explained and the board is a pleasure to use. The back story is about Audrey who can "only" afford a small shop in Paris (she's lucky to have that in today's market) and needs you to play so she can buy fittings, decor and stock.
There are quite a few BF games with a similar theme and IMO this is one of the best. You can play in Timed, relaxed or Limited Moves mode and it's great fun seeing the new items arrive after clearing the board at each level. A definite purchase for me!

It seems ages since the last heroes of Hellas was released - it was such a joy to see Number 4 here at last! To me this is the perfect game - no need to try it first as I knew it would be great and it more than lived up to expectations.
The Match-3 play is exhilarating and challenging (but not frustratingly so) with lots of power-ups and super smooth action.
The graphics are stunning - gods and monsters from ancient Greece beautifully depicted - and the Greek music makes for a delightful audio background. I played for hours, it's so addictive and there are bonus levels if you just don't want to leave Hellas. :-)
I recommend this game!

This is like a Solitaire version of the Cursed House Match-3 game! One-up, one-down matching to build a spooky inn (and maybe more places in subsequent levels). I played up to 21 to find features such as a little person on the bench outside.
Quite challenging with chains, wax seals, ice and so on over some cards as the levels progress but not frustrating.
Visually great with free wallpapers and mahjong as extras. I'll be buying this very soon! :-)

i have just finished playing the demo of this game and, wow, what an adventure! The story is engaging (anything about secret societies grabs my attention), the characters are convincing and beautifully drawn - as is the scenery and both the HO and mini-games are fun and relevant to the plot.
If you'd love to virtually explore the back streets of Paris in the evening and enjoy a mystery, this is for you!
I recommend this game!

This is an up/down solitaire game with power-up "cannon balls" to purchase with the gold coins you earn from your success!
Great fun, challenging in the later stages and excellent for playing time and again. Bargain!
