Your cousin pigs have been pignapped and are being held captive in the weirdest castle ever. Can you save them by moving crates and evading spikes, flames, and pits? Don't get caught by the guards!
This is really easy to play using either the arrow keys or by clicking and dragging your mouse. The instructions are clear and the puzzles build up to good little brain teasers.
I recommend this game!

To exit the game, you have to press "Escape" on your keyboard. Great, right? Because everyone can use a keyboard.
Actually, no. There are those of us who can't. I have to use an on screen keyboard that can't be seen while the game is active.
The music was irritating too. I suppose you could turn that off in the menu but you had to press Escape to access it.
The beginning graphics were pretty but you couldn't jump past them to get to the game. All in all, it was a complete waste of time.
Avoid this game if you have to use a mouse to play.
I don't recommend this game.

If you like Sokoban aka Warehouse games where you move blocks around to specific places, you'll like this. Your character is a treasure hunter who has to collect all the gems on a level and you move different types of blocks and stones to reach them. The graphics have a very retro look but the puzzles are interesting and soon become challenging.
The game is really well set up. You're supposed to use your keyboard's arrow keys but clicking on your mouse works too. There's a set of tutorial levels at the beginning to play through. You can zoom in on a level, then back out or reset the zoom to its original setting. You can save a puzzle during the game and reload it to that point if you're fighting to get past a tricky bit. (I found that very handy as I broke the glass blocks a number of times at the wrong point.) You can skip levels too, if you need to. All in all, it's a fun game that challenges you without leaving you feeling utterly frustrated.
I recommend this game!

I really enjoyed Tales of Lagoona 1 & 2, so I was thrilled to find Tales of Lagoona 3 available. It's a fun game, based on Leona, Poseidon Park, and Leona's efforts to keep the park running. Alas, she went on vacation and left Theo in charge. Add ex-Mayor Peabody to the mix and Leona returns to find disaster.
Your job is to earn money to pay for rebuilding the castle.
Pros: You can play Hidden Objects levels non-stop if you like, or mix it up with some mini puzzles. Or play mini puzzles until you run out of tokens, then it's back to the Hidden Objects levels.
There are extra challenges in the Hidden Objects levels you can fulfil for extra gold (eg: find 3 items in alphabetical order; find 5 items in 5 seconds; find 3 items from the lowest to the highest on the screen). You can ignore these, if you prefer.
You can play whichever mini puzzles you like and avoid those you don't. Replaying a mini puzzle will only earn you 10 gold though, so you have to tackle the harder levels for more gold.
Cons: The storyline is thin and there are only a few characters.
Most of the Hidden Object scenes are from Lagoona 2, though they're sometimes mirror image for a bit of variety. The rest of the Hidden Object scenes have a basic seabed look to the background, and you sort through miscellaneous objects to find pairs.
There aren't that many bonus quests to fulfil for extra gold or games tokens.
Overall, it's fun to play but it left me feeling there was only half the storyline there.
I recommend this game!

...but there's a major drawback in that the items you have to find are often tiny. I have a widescreen monitor but the star headed wands you find to replenish your hints aren't even 20 pixels wide. I have to use my computer's magnifier to get anywhere.
But, complaint aside, this is a fun game. There are lots of HO scenes, along with the odd mini puzzle to break things up. The characters are fun. The storyline isn't anything amazing so it's the characters who make it interesting.
If you like long games with lots of stuff to find, this is a good one but you'll need excellent eyesight to get the best of it.
I recommend this game!

If you like puzzles, Azada is a good game to get into. You have to work your way through a number of classic books, working out what needs to be done on each page in order to finish the story. Each book has a small number of pages, and you can flip back and forth through the pages to find items or solve puzzles.
The puzzles are rather challenging, but you can earn 'orbs' that let you skip a puzzle. If you're stuck on what to do, you can click for help though you lose time for each help you accept. One bonus of that system is that you can click to see if you'll be offered help or you'll be told to go to the other pages first.
One of the main drawbacks is that the writing in the dialogue/instruction boxes is small and hard to read unless you've got good eyesight. Anyone with less than good eyesight will end up peering at the screen and trying to work out what the heck it says.
Another drawback is that you have to click 'ok' to close the dialogue box to continue. That gets annoying when you're trying to work out what to do and the dialogue box keeps on appearing.
Aside from those drawbacks, it is a good game with a number of puzzles included, so if you like puzzles, this one might suit you.
I recommend this game!

This is a fairly good game to play. The levels are very difficult at times but once you've played a level a number of times, you get an option to skip it. There are frozen tokens that have to be matched to break the ice before you can move that token, sometimes tokens are chained in place and have to be matched to break the chains. A few times, you have to get a key down to the bottom of the screen to unlock all the squares.
Matching 4 or 5 tokens gives one of the tokens a special power - that'll clear the entire row or column, or cause the token to explode and clear the surrounding squares - once that special token is matched again. Matching 6+ tokens turns a token into a fireball that'll sling arrows all over the grid once it's activated.
Some levels involve slinging rocks or fireballs at some unlucky Romans and attempting to kill them all (like Angry Birds), but those levels can be skipped if they're not your thing.
One big drawback about the game is that you're given approx. 5 seconds to make a match before the game insists on giving you a hint. That's great when it's a limited time level, but it's extremely irritating when you have limited moves and you need to find the best match. You can't turn the hints off either. The only way around it is to click on a token and leave it 'highlighted' so the game doesn't suggest a move.
If you like difficult Match 3 games, this is a good one to play. I wouldn't recommend it if you prefer something that's a bit more laid back.

This is one of those games that's easy to learn to play: you control your character using the arrow keys and a couple of letter keys to dig holes. All you have to do is collect all the gold ingots and get to the exit. Simple, huh?
Well, it's simple...until they add in gold ingots in hard to reach places and you're being chased by mummies and other creatures. Then it's move fast, keep on moving, and hope you can get all the gold before they get you. This game is part puzzle, part action, and just a little bit nerve-wracking.
I recommend this game!

Like many other hidden object adventure games, your character travels from and to various scenes collecting tools, searching scenes and trying to solve the mystery of what happened to your character's fiance, Edward.
The puzzles included in the game were frequently not very challenging, but the hidden object scenes were well done, and the graphics are lovely. The hint button isn't that helpful, as it often tells you "there's nothing to be done here". I had a bit of trouble with the cursor too, when I was trying to backtrack in a scene. The cursor has to be placed just above your collected objects bar but not so close you end up grabbing an object instead.
I would have rated this game higher if it hadn't been for two things. One: whenever the journal you have is updated, it continually flips half open until you go and look at it. Often, the information added was something I'd already figured out, so I didn't need to read it, but I found the journal distracting unless I clicked on it to stop the flipping. And it updated a *lot*.
Two: the abrupt ending. There is no actual ending to the story and, at first, I assumed there had to be a sequel. On reading other reviews, I discovered that the ending is included in the collector's edition but not the standard edition. I would have preferred to know that beforehand.
I don't recommend this game.

One of my main quibbles with this game was the music. Before you can get to the options, you've got really loud music blasting in your face. I have the sound on my pc turned down low, but the music level on the game is *high*. So turn off your sound before you start the game.
The puzzles themselves are fairly good, but there's a limit to the variety. If you don't like Sudoku, this isn't for you as that game pops up a lot in challenge mode.
The puzzles also get harder, so while they're easy to start off with, they don't stay that way.
All in all, the puzzles are enjoyable, but the interface and music aren't. The game also features a moving background, so I should think that'd be bad for anyone with motion sickness.
I don't recommend this game.
