A soggie HOGgie. Bring an umbrella - lol. Good atmosphere in this one. Kinda reminded me of the B&W, hardboiled, private investigator movies. I enjoyed searching the mean, wet streets for a psychic killer. Good HO scenes and artwork. Puzzles were well done. If you like animals bring some food for them. I hate it when they are going hungry. The game was pleasant Sunday afternoon fare.
I recommend this game!

I thoroughly enjoyed this game !! I usually play with the music turned down but there were a couple of background songs that were soothing to listen to.
I played in Normal mode and didn't have to use a hint. Puzzles were interesting. Loved the artwork and graphics. The computer generated stuff melded well with digital film of sea waves etc - gave the game a lost-in-the-Bermuda-Triangle feel to it. The "movie" sections were well done. Actually have to take items directly from the film characters. Hope others enjoy this game as much as I did. Later fellow Hoggers.
I recommend this game!

I spent a very enjoyable evening with this game. The artwork is very eye pleasing. Background details enhanced the feel and texture of the game. I am a cat person and couldn't resist a couple of extra trips to the pub to pet the kitty on the bar stool. I played in expert mode and didn't use any hints but I did have to skip one of the puzzles (I am slider puzzle brain deficient - tee hee). Lots of good HO's that you can also play as Match 3's but not for me. Have fun gaming and Happy New Year.
I recommend this game!

Mountain Crime: Requital
Someone is killing the guests at a mountain resort, and you could be next if you don't figure out the mystery and solve a Mountain Crime!
Excellent evening spent playing this game while the snow is coming down. Different kind of HOG with some drama thrown in. Game had a good flow to it and the play scenes were well drawn. I enjoyed the movie bits. I played the advanced mode and only had to "cheat" once. I wouldn't let little kids play it. Nothing gross but some dead bodies do show up.
I recommend this game!

Hmmmm .... I don't remember Camp QEII looking like this place !! I played in intermediate mode. Really creepy grounds to explore. I found the puzzles and HO scenes kinda easy. Excellent, clean graphics. The artwork was well done.

Shiver: Poltergeist
After inheriting a manor in England, you begin to explore the Kangale Estate and discover its history!
What a great Daily Deal deal ! I do like a pleasant surprise with my game purchases. I played this game in intermediate mode. I do love a nice, creepy mansion and grounds to explore with a dark, stormy night background. Excellent graphics and puzzles. I only used the hint button a couple of times. I wouldn't recommend this for younger children. Enjoyed my romp around the island.
I recommend this game!

I picked this game up as a bonus purchase. Good fun for a cold, winter night waiting for Santa. I think this is a good beginners game and is kid friendly. I only used a couple of hints and the puzzles were interesting but not hair pulling. I liked the graphics which were crisp and clear. Don't laugh but I was little concerned when I had to move the baby birds. I thought I had to dig up worms for them but that is me over thinking the problem (as usual - tee hee). Ciao fellow hoggers.
I recommend this game!

I just replayed this game. I have to admit my game skills have improved since I bought this game a couple of years ago. It is repetitious and not that hard but good for picking away at when you aren't up for something more challenging. It would be good for a new player looking to learn HOG's.
I don't recommend this game.

If you are a die hard Hogger you will enjoy this game. About 40 HOG sites and puzzles. Kinda interesting grounds and buildings to roam around in. I played with no hints used and only skipped 2 puzzles. Don't worry - I had to look for some of the objects for a lllloooooonnnnnnngggggggg time. Game had a good flow to it. Love collecting my "awards" - tee hee.
I recommend this game!

Christmas Stories: Nutcracker Collector's Edition
A classic Christmas tale tail, with a whole new twist! Help the Nutcracker rescue the princess from the evil Rat King!
FLIPPIN' GREAT GAME !!!! Can I give this game a higher rating than 5's? It was like playing with an interactive Christmas movie. The characters were excellent. I loved the companions along my journey (Fred & Candle). The Nutcracker really kicked butt. Graphics were AWESOME. Wonderful new take on the Christmas traditional story. Interesting puzzles and HO's. Just a beautiful treat for the eyes and senses. Thanks and Merry Christmas to all.
