Northern Tale is an exciting time management game that is so addictive, fun and quick paced. So much to do, finding food, chopping wood, upgrading buildings, banishing evil and recusing some interesting characters. I wish I had half the energy these little Vikings display. I especially like the relaxed mode so I can just enjoy the scenery, characters and fun of the game. For those who like to challenge themselves against the clock, you won’t be disappointed.
The graphics are exceptional with rich bold colors in each scene. As tasks are completed, an explosion of color blooms erasing evil power and drabness of the ashen land leaving behind a beautiful peaceful forest.
One of my favorite time management games. I am sure to be playing this over and over.
Thank you Big Fish for giving your customers exciting, challenging, fun to play games like the Northern Tales series

I don't need to say anything more as so many have given their praises to Cadenza: Music, Betrayal and Death.
I love this era and its music. Great music to listen while playing a superb game. I loved the New Orleans setting and wonderful characters. What a nice change from the fantasy HOPAs.
Engaging scenes and so much beauty in the story. You are drawn in and just want to sit back and enjoy every cleaver turn in this fantastic game.
Thanks devs and Big Fish for another wonderful game playing experience.
I recommend this game!

Another riveting adventure by this developer. They have done it again. As an investigator you must track down the killer of high ranking officials and determining how they died.
This game was so much fun to play with so much to do. Beautiful scenes, great puzzles and hidden object mini games.
If you haven't taken the opportunity to read the credits, please do so. The Eipix team has some funny and clever quotes that will make you smile.
Take advantage of all the extras after the bonus game. You will be able to find treasure chests you may have missed, play a exciting match three game that will earn you extra gold coins to purchase scenery items. You will be able to purchase all if you complete the match three games.
Thanks devs for letting me sail another adventure with your team. Don't drink up all the grog. Leave a tankard or two for your fans.
Big Fish thank you for outstanding games.
I recommend this game.

Hidden Expedition: The Crown of Solomon is an exciting adventure game that takes you all over the world and under the sea in search of King Solomon's crown. Like watching an Indiana Jones adventure with high tech gadgets to H.E.L.P. you outwit the villains and get you out of some sticky situations. I could have been watching this as a movie on the television. It was really good. So hats off to the hardworking team of Eipix for another wonderful Hidden Expedition game.
The only thing I can say is that the game was a solid adventure and really did not need the hidden object scenes. They were done well. I just think this game would be better without the HO scenes.
Thanks Big Fish for bringing us such great entertainment
I totally recommend this game.

I read all the reviews and thought that this one would be something I would like. I loved it. I liked the extra challenge of finding the 3 items (bugs, flowers, wheat, birds). Very cute animated characters and animals. Good fun. I will play this with my grandson.
I recommend this game. Good work devs and thanks Big Fish for a fun and entertaining game.

I really enjoyed playing this adventure game. Lots and lots of puzzles. Some had me stumped until I figured out I needed another piece to complete the puzzle. Hidden Objects were easy to find. No challenge there.
Although the visual and graphics weren't excellent, the gameplay was fantastic. Interesting storyline and it was nice to see a male hero instead of a female lost in fantasy land.
Sound effects were fine and music good. The characters were somewhat stiff. I really didn't mind because I thought it was a terrific game.
I played in the casual mood because I wasn't sure I was going to like it. A wonderful surprise at just how good it was. I will definitely play again in the hard mood to challenge myself.
Nice chance of pace from the HOPA norm.
I recommend this game!

Didn't know if I was going to like this but finally got into it. I was surprised to see a strategy guide in a standard game. It was welcomed at times when I was stumped.
Graphics could have been better but this did not take away for the over all game-play. The puzzles were fun and some challenging. Lots of puzzles makes me happy. For those that love hidden object scenes, this game was not short on them. Most hidden object scenes where revisited.
The game had a good jump map that was very helpful when you were scratching your head as what to do next.
Overall, I say great game and give it a try.
I recommend this game!

Not to bad. The graphics were good and the music eerie as was the storyline. The back and forth with duplicate HOG scenes was not for me. Could have done with a jump map. The instructions for the puzzles could have been clearer. Even the walkthrough wasn't much help. A dark game with lots of dark colors.

Mystery Case Files: Fate’s Carnival, a perfect sequel and hits a ten star in every category of an excellent HOPA. Carnies, carnival games, roller coaster ride, and a Ferris wheel; you can almost smell the stale popcorn. The storyline played very well throughout the game and made one feel as if they walked into an abandoned carnival park. The atmosphere is unnaturally still and quiet. Do I really want to go into this place.
This game is not short of interactive puzzles and places to explore. Crazy puzzle boards, with all sorts of gadgets, bells, whistles, lasers and gears to interact with, were so clever and had me stumped at times. I was delighted to find puzzles to work out in the diary as well. The diary was very useful as it also gave clues to solving other puzzles. Often in hidden object games, we find the diary not very useful. Not true with Mystery Case Files: Fate's Carnival.
The music and sounds were what you would expect to hear at a circus or carnival and a perfect fit to the game.
Loved the Madame Fate's ghost cat that provided help during the game. Clever idea to collect morphing playing cards within the hidden objects. I didn't catch on to that at first so missed a few at the beginning. Same thing with the bobble heads, I wasn't aware of them until I opened the diary and had to check back at some scenes previously visited to see if there were some I missed.
Great game length and excellent interactive puzzles. BFG and Elephant you have outdone yourself. Thanks for the adventure and I am going back in again as I can't get enough of this fantastic carnival experience.
This was supposed to be the happiest day of your life. But instead of walking down the aisle, you're in another dimension, battling a mad inventor to save your family!

Good game for a sequel. Not overly challenging but entertaining. Beautiful and colorful hand-painted scenes Very typical of ERS style.
Lots of scenes to explore. Finding parts to fix and open portals, flying mechanical eyeball creatures to collect and a mechanical dragonfly to help you diffuse poisonous gas.
Game play is pretty straight forward. Plenty of hidden object scenes for HO junkies. HO scenes were a bit crowded but large enough to pick out. Half way into the game, I switched to the match 3 game as I tire of HO scenes that become mindless clicking.
There was to my happy surprise, plenty of puzzles. Some new and challenging to solve. The game also had a jump map that guided you to places of interest.
An entertaining game. Although, it didn't challenge me as much as other games, it is worth the CE price as there was so much to explore and do in each scene.
I recommend this game!
