This is a pleasant enough game, not great, but not bad. It plays kind of slowly, and even the most challenging level isn't very hard, but it has nice graphics and an OK story line. I am going to use a free game code on it, as it is nice to have a pleasant, easy-going game to play in between the more hard edged and super challenging ones.
I recommend this game!

This is one of the most beautiful games I have ever played! The HO scenes were beautiful to look at, not the simple jumble of objects that you find in some other games. A number of characters from other games in the Dark Parables series make appearances, but this game can stand on its own. I liked the CE extras as well, particularly building the book of parables. The Dark Parable series manages to take fairy tales and retell them in a very very interesting way!
Save your cats and investigate a series of leopard attacks.

Based on the demo, this is a great addition to the Fierce Tales series!. Snow leopards with green shining eyes appear in a vet's yard and recruit her cats for ??? Terrific graphics, great story, and the CE has achievements and collectables, as well as the usual wallpaper, bonus chapter etc. I have enjoyed all the games in this series...my only warning is that if you really don't like cats, this might not be the game for you! ^--^
I recommend this game!

I had somehow missed this installment of Amaranthine Voyage, so decided to catch up! This is an all around great game, with inventive puzzles and graphics. I particularly liked the extras in this one, particularly going back to each scene to find "souvenirs" and being able to collect items missed in the regular and bonus play.
I recommend this game!

The Awakening series started off well and comes to a satisfying conclusion in The Redleaf Forest. I would have given it 5 stars, but I didn't think the CE bonus chapter was as good as in previous games...I thought it was a bit childish. Otherwise, great game!
I recommend this game!

Based on the demo, this is an OK hidden object game, but doesn't seem to have all the bells and whistles of many other Collectors Editions. I didn't see any achievements or collectibles, and it doesn't have a real "wow" factor to it. It also is not overly challenging so getting the CE to have a strategy guide is not really needed. I think this will fare better as a SE, maybe a good use for a punch code free game!
I don't recommend this game.

This installment of the Otherworld series is a continuation of the ongoing story. I would say that if you loved the first two, you will not be at all disappointed in this one!

This is a great game! I have played all the ones in this series, and they just keep getting better. The visuals and sound are great, and the method for moving between the five main game areas is wonderful. As this is the CE, I should mention that the extra segment is very good...avoid it if skeletons and bugs give you nightmares though!! There are also 15 mini games to play in the CE extras area, plus the usual add ons. I think it is worth the CE price, but would play well in the Standard version too.
I recommend this game!

I really enjoy the Awakening series, but I'm giving this stand alone 'free to play' one a miss. I was driven nuts by all the pop up info...I know other reviewers have mentioned this, but it really is annoying. If you like the beauty and storyline of the original, wait for the next real installment.
I don't recommend this game.

I was really underwhelmed by this one, maybe I'm just tired of fairy tale based games. I didn't get through the demo, as I found the voice overs by the 'nanny' so awful that it took me right out of the game, particularly when her accent changed! I'll recommend it for fairy tale fans, as it seemed well produced, but this 'princess' baled on it!
I recommend this game!
