i really like these games. this one is just as good as the ones in the past. it takes awhile to get through it. it has an interactive map to transport you from place to place and you will need it unless you live to travel. the skip and hint buttons charge quickly and the mini games are not too hard, but again i am not good at them. i like the dog. he was fun. the hint button actually tells your next action. you just have to remember where the place is. no diary. but with the hint system you really don't need it as long as you look around whenever you have to have a code for something. it is usually in the scene. again i liked this one as much as the others.

Angelica Weaver: Catch Me When You Can
Track a mad man across time and investigate a gristly murder from the past!
i enjoyed this game. hints depend on how many dream catchers you find. one for each dream catchers. they aren't hard to find. you also need to find sheriff's badges. they are not too hard to find, if you remember. i didn't get them all when i played, tho'. the hints help some but i had to go to the walkthrough a few times. i just couldn't figure some things out. i still enjoyed this game. a good storyline. no map, tho'. there is a journal!

Mystery of the Ancients: Curse of the Black Water
Uncover Poseidon's ancient secrets hidden under the town of Black Water!
i quit the demo to buy i liked this game so much. i didn't give "5"s yet as i haven't played the whole thing and will return to give it a final review, but based on the 30 minutes of demo i completed...it was longer, but i stopped, i think this is going to be one of my favorite games. i really got into the game and really didn't want to end it, but i like to start them over when i open them after buying them and i won't get to it for awhile. i try to play the games i buy in order that i have bought them. i think if you like HO games you will pleasantly surprised at this one. it grabbed me right away. this is the first time i have reviewed a game after playing the demo only, that i can remember.

Where Angels Cry
Investigate a mysterious, medieval monastery and reveal the terrifying truth!
the game isn't overly long but is fun. the hint/skip button takes a little longer than some and the hint button will tell you where to go. no map but there is a journal that keeps important clues that you will use throughout the game. the music got on my nerves, but i don't listen to music too much anyway, but i thought i would this time to rate it. my rating is based on the visual. the graphics are good and plain and not really crowded. there really isn't any HO scenes but when you are looking for items they are not really hidden enough to make it difficult.

Odysseus: Long Way Home
Embark on an exciting journey and plunge into the myths of Ancient Greece with Odysseus, the legendary hero of the Trojan War!
this is a great game. i had a good time playing it. it could have been longer but i still really enjoyed it. the graphics were great and the hints/skips recharged fast. the hint button will tell you where to go next. it is a game where a person can relax and just play. the mini games probably would be easy for others. i usually have trouble with them. you are a greek looking for his wife and have to travel to get different things to get back to her. again it is a good game!!!!!

Escape Rosecliff Island
An unexpected storm has left you shipwrecked on a remote private island. Find a way to Escape Rosecliff Island!
this one has 25 levels to get through so it is a long game. each level has from 4 to 8 sub-levels to complete. you can play on one of 2 levels of difficulty. the hint button recharges fast or you can go to options and get unlimited hints. (make sure to check the options) mini-games are word finds and the like so they are not hard. they are at the end of each level and you collect items to help you get off the island when you done with the game. i like all of these games!!!!!!! they are not hard and the graphics are great. then aren't really junky, but they are big with not too many items to find. when you are done and have collected the 50 locks ( in each different sub-level) then you will have seek and find games and at the end you will unlock match 3 games. wonderful game. relaxing and good to go back to from time to time. i have to finish when i start......it's a "me" thing.

Committed: Mystery at Shady Pines
Escape from Shady Pines and save the other patients! Explore the mysterious hospital and stop the psychotic doctor!
i played the regular difficulty and i skipped most puzzles because i am not good at them and got done in 4 hrs 43 min. some of the HO scenes were crowded but the game was also kind of dark and dreary but not more so than others like this. skip charged really fast and the hint button recharge a little slower it seemed to me. you wake up in a hospital bed and don't remember how you got there or who you are. you get out of your room and see a little girl and you try to rescue her and chase her and a doctor over 3 levels. it has a map but it isn't interactive so there is back and forth. there is a journal that hold clues and if you use it you should always have the answer you need. i enjoyed the game. it does take some thinking to get through it. the hint does not tell you where to go and sometimes you have to guess. the "sparkly" area are hard to see sometimes. i passed over a few without realizing it. i had to go to the walkthrough a few times because of this.

Exorcist
Garret Ghostfighter was born with the gift of being able to see demons! Help him use his gift to defeat the evil Mephisto!
this game was ok. it was mostly dark, as can be expected with these kinds of games. i have gotten used to bright, clear graphics and this one was just the opposite. some of the items in the HO scenes were hard to see and the scenes were sometimes really crowded. the hint/recharge button took about 1 minute to fill. the mini-games weren't too hard, for me, but i still skipped most of them. when i play at night i am tired and can't use the simple logic i have.

Secrets of the Dark: Temple of Night
After being kidnapped, your friend is about to be sacrificed to a powerful demon and it's up to you to save him!
it is a good game. the hints/skips recharge kind of slowly...but not too badly. the graphics are clear but there is no map and so there is back and forth and you do that a lot. there is a journal, though. there aren't too many scenes to go back and forth in and that is a plus. you see the scenes in different views when the lights go out and it looks like it did in aztec/mayan times and then lighten up the rooms and they are modern day. you have to keep going back and forth that way as well. it can get confusing. it is still a good game, but i played the sequel first and i liked it better. i only had a "click" penalty once. it didn't last very long. some of the HO scenes are kind of crowded and some are a little dark, but not all of them. you are trying to help your friend who has been taken prisoner and the demon is staying alive by draining your friend's life forces and you need to stop the demon before your friend dies. some of the scenes are nice, though.

The Secret Legacy: A Kate Brooks Adventure
Explore Egypt and discover The Secret Legacy of Kate Brooks’ grandmother in this exciting Hidden Object Adventure game!
this is the lowest score i can remember giving a game. i went back through the reviews and it didn't seem like the same game they were reviewing. the scenes were dark and hard to find HO and the objects were very small. i don't play with sound so i can't rate that. i would not recommend this game for any reason. save your money for something else. i was really disappointed because i bought the game due to the reviews and they weren't all that great but a few talked about the good graphics and i didn't see that anywhere. the hint and skip were slow in charging. i just didn't like it at all!!!
