The game over the last two years were gradually declining in quality and this is now speeding up. This game here, reminds me of the frog game, where one has to move frogs from one side to the other. Once you figured it out it's a no-brainer. As is this game here. To make is worse, the graphics are from another time zone, the fun factor is none existent, the only challenge is to find the way out of that game and this is topped by out-dated, cheap and nasty and seemingly from the dark-ages of computer games. Is this the best you can deliver? I thought the recent two disastrous games and the sheer mass of "painting by numbers" where the worst, but with games here BFG has managed to excel on their track-record of offering less than mediocre quality, which makes it harder and harder to use the purchased Games Credits for something even remotely worth the membership fee. I've been a Games Club Member for over ten years and I think it's time to cancel my membership. What is the point spending the fee every month when day after day the quality is going downhill?
Big Fish??? More like 'Shrinking Guppy"

This is yet another disaster. A grid with graphics that seem to be from another planet. Impossible to make out what the pictures are supposed to be.
I'm beginning to ask myself, in which archive, loft or basement BFG is finding the games that they have been offering over the last couple of years. Very disappointing and my disappointment is increasing on a daily rate.

Most of the games offered by BFG over the last two to three years are not of the quality and diversity I got used to by this company, but this disaster here brings this down to yet another level.
The game is lacking everything that makes gaming fun, the sound is too loud, too annoying and can't be adjusted or turn down or off under options, as there is no options menu. The game play is horrendously stupid, the level of challenge is practically none existent. This must have been created some time in the early 1980s and it shows.
After this huge disappointment, I'm now ready for yet another onslaught of Paint-by-Numbers-Games. Quite frankly, I am beginning to get tired of Big Fish. Looking for something using the Game Credits for, seems to be the biggest challenge these days. What a shame.

If you already have one or more of these, then don't bother with this game, it's exactly the same as all the other 41, which is no surprise, as this appears to be number 42 in the series and not even the cover photo is different.
With the help of a grid and numbers telling you spaces between tiles, you have to figure out the images and the surprise factor in this game seems to be: "Wow! I am so certain I have done this a few times before".
I don't recommend this game.

I like this game. Bought it a few years ago. The computer cheats, but you have the option to play against another human player. As this will involve a lot of seat-swapping, it is probably good that, in this play option, the game isn't so long.
I often wonder why there are such few funny bowling games. The only other one that would top Zombie Bowl-O-Rama and which is very similar would be Elf Bowling, but this is no longer available for purchase. I am hoping to eventually see another really quirky bowling game. Every once in a while, a good session of knocking a few zombies or gnomes flying, helps to overcome frustration and anger.
I recommend this game!

This game is simply awful. It makes absolutely no sense. The gameplay is not only repetitive, but also annoying. Everything makes itself as if by magic and it is hard to follow between was it being processed, what is finished, what is on the tray and what customers asked for.
The music, I won't even start on that. It's a hysteric tune that doesn't go with the game play.
Where on earth did the developers find this game? In the attic of another developer who quit half way through creating this game in the 1980s?

To be fair, there haven't been many exiting games available in the last few years. With the amount of Solitaire, Mahjonng, Jigsaws, Paint by numbers, Pixel Art and Match 3 games that are popping in one week alone, I feel the developers are running out of ideas and this game here is not the way forward.
I don't recommend this game.
Every community has big dreams and you are the one to make them happen!

The game is the same as any of the previous ones, the only difference is the music. There are two different pieces playing at the same time, but in contradicting beats. It's a bit like standing in the middle of fun fair trying to dance a waltz and it drove me insane. I only got through the trial by turning it off.
Other than that there is really no difference, apart from a garden gnome that will give you extra points.

Take on the role of Emyr, probably the realm’s most famous hero. That is, until his career was destroyed by a dreadful wound. Now, Emyr works in the tavern.

It's basically the same than a Delicious Deluxe game, but with a twist that can be challenging for the mythology buffs. Emyr is a Viking and suddenly a Gorgon appears, but Gorgons are Greek and the music has a medieval touch. Oh well, in the end that doesn't matter.
I like the story line, the conversations are cute, but parents and grandparents should trial this game as some wordings are a bit on the edge and bordering swearing.
Graphics and sound are good, challenge is moderate and less stressful than some DD games.
After finishing the trial I have decided to buy and include it into my next Delicious Deluxe marathon during the coming winter.

I can't believe this game is so old and has escaped me completely. A true adventure game, without any tedious HO Scenes and talking the story.
Puzzles after puzzle to solve (the description talks about HO Scenes, but you only pick up items you really do need to solve a puzzle and get further).
I don't understand the low rating this game received, as it really is a little gem and if you like Green Moon, then you will like this here, too.
Enough said: Back to solving the adventure :-)
I recommend this game!

I absolutely enjoyed playing this game.
If you love going from one puzzles to another without having to spend time on tideous HO scenes, then this game is for you.
Having said that, some of the puzzles are repetitive, but I wasn't bored with them. The level of challenge is good, but not frustrating. Also, the game comes with a built-in guide.
It reminded of Safe Cracker and if you like that game, then Arcana is definately one you want to look into.
I'd advise doing the trial. The games has a warning as the theme is occult, but I didn't find any of that disturbing.
I recommend this game to anyone who loves solving puzzles.
