I was disappointed when the trial was over because I wanted more! The hour went by so fast. Usually I can gauge when I am coming to the end of a trial. I was so enthralled in this game I was surprised the hour was over. I liked Shiver: Vanishing Hitchhiker and I loved this game. The graphics, voice over, and music all fit well into the game. The storyline is a little scarey and flows well. This is going to the top of my must have list.
I recommend this game!

Easter Eggztravaganza was enjoyable to play. I would buy it if I had young children. The pictures were colorful and made to find objects easily. The mini games were really easy but a good learning experience for the young ones. The rabbit mascot for the game is cute. Also a nice break from all the dark and scary story lines. Highly recommend for kids, it will keep them busy for a while.
I recommend this game!

This is the 3rd game in the Nightfall Mysteries. It is just as good as the first two. The graphics and sound are clear, clean, and sharp. The mini games are fresh something a little different. The hour trial left me wanting more. I will definitely add this too my HO games collection.
I recommend this game!

I haven't played a HO game like this since Mystery of the Crystal Portal. I like the way you have to find objects to be able to make use of other objects. It is a different concept of HO game that I don't see very often. It is a pleasure to play and refreshing from most of the ordinary HO games. There are many places to investigate and I like the interaction with the realistic characters throughout the game. It is a must have for me!
I recommend this game!

I love, love, love, the Mystery Trackers series. The Graphics are awesome and the music/ sound effects are well done. I like the way you have to activate the HO scenes and also use previously collected items to finish HO scenes. In most games a HO scene is eluded to by sparkles or some other prompt. In this game you have to interact with objects to activate/ find the HO. I only played the trial but I can't wait until I buy this game to see the ending. I did buy the CE of Mystery Trackers Raincliff and did not think it was that exciting so I would recommend maybe just buying the SE.
I recommend this game!

I don't know which game came out first this game or Life Quest but they are basically the same game. I do like both. Path to Success has got a great variety of task to keep a person busy. I also like this game because it can be played over and over trying to improve your score.The task get harder at a good pace so you won't get over whelmed.
I recommend this game!

I played the easy mode in the time trial. Based on that I found the game a little easy in my book. That did not take away from the fun factor though. This is why I think it would be perfect for beginners who are just getting started at HO games. The hint button doesn't take too long to refill and is also good for clues of what to do next outside of the HO scenes. This will keep the level of frustration low. I liked the different variety of mini games a nice change from the same old, same old. I will add this to my must buy list for sure.
I recommend this game!

If you like the show American Pickers you might quite possibly like the game. I love HO games but for me this was just a bore. I agree with everyone else who talks about too much dialogue. It was nonstop useless banter among the main characters. The HO scenes were pretty easy. I didn't even understand why the deal making option was part of the game. You had to pay whatever price the customer came up with. I saw no way to haggle. Nice try but it is a no go for me.
I don't recommend this game.

I have just recently gotten involved playing time management games. I like this one because it involves more than just building houses/buildings. I kept very clicking on every level I played because there is so much more to do than just build, upgrade, demolish places. I like the way the story comes across as a breaking news story. It is very easy to understand what needs to be done on the levels to accomplish goals. I enjoyed the game very much. I see it in my future and playing it more than once.
I recommend this game!

The birds are adorable, so cute. The game moves fast from level to level. It is a good time passer. I don't normally play this type of marble popping game but I really like this one. The goal is to save the birds from the cat and get their town built. It is very colorful and the music is pleasing. It is easy to control game play just using the mouse.
I recommend this game!
