I'm heading to Tucson tomorrow to help take my grandson trick-or-treating for the first time, and this is getting me in the mood! It's very similar in style to the one this developer put out last year, and I enjoyed that one, too. Both have great spooky music, colorful fun graphics, and lots of variety in puzzles. While this may be considered a kids' game, I, along with many other adults, am enjoying it as well. While there is a timer, one can completely ignore it and enjoy the scenery. I recommend!

I waited literally years for this sequel to be released after finishing the first "Tiger Eye" game, and I was not disappointed. I enjoyed playing this one even more than the first because it was a little bit easier, especially with the hidden objects. The story is tres romantique <sigh>. And it's easy to know where to go and what to do next, unlike many other HOPAs that leave me pulling my hair out and constantly checking walkthroughs. I didn't have to use a walkthrough once. I highly recommend playing these in order (first Tiger Eye - Part I: Curse of the Riddle Box, then Tiger Eye: The Sacrifice) as they really do make a story based on a real novel. If you want to be taken away to another place for some enveloping "me" time, play these two games.
I recommend this game!

This is an old game which was mentioned on a forum, so I checked it out. It's challenging and fun for people who love to manipulate words. The letters you will be making words from are dealt out as cards in a solitaire game. You may move a letter to any pile where it makes a word or makes the beginning of a word. There are bonus words to be made for "powerups" that enable you to change a vowel or consonant, acquire a "joker" that can be used for any letter, or multiples of value of words and letters, as in Scrabble. It starts off fairly easily, then becomes a challenge, as you tour the tiny nation of Monaco. There is no timer, so you can think as long as you like. I have no idea how long the game is, as I have not yet finished it, but it has huge replay value. Word Monaco has become one of my alltime favorite word games. I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys them.
I recommend this game!

I loved, loved, loved Fairway Solitaire, playing it for weeks. However I never could finish it. The goals to unlock the next course were too hard for me to reach in some instances, and I became frustrated. Also, sometimes things I needed were available at the golf shop, and sometimes they were not, no matter how many "golf bucks" I had to spend. These issues were remedied in the sequel. I have given the original Fairway Solitaire as gifts several times, as it makes a great game for anyone, and I plan to do the same with this one. Whether you're a solitaire fan or not, I highly recommend this hilarious and highly addictive game.
