I bought this game without trying it because I had a credit to use and it was about to expire. The graphics are good but the directional arrow, grab hand etc. are in a circle that moves around which I found very annoying. The music sounds like a cheesy adventure movie but of course that can be turned down. I played about 10 minutes and will probably not go any further.
I got this game on the week special for $2.99 - what a great value! I don't know how I missed this game when it originally came out but I really enjoyed it. It had a lot of HOS and mini games that were enjoyable. It was not extremely challenging but very relaxing and enjoyable to play. The graphics are really done well and the music wasn't bad. The only negative were the cut-scenes were slow. All in all though, a great game.
I recommend this game!

Spirits of Mystery: Song of the Phoenix Collector's Edition
Reunite the Dragon and Phoenix Kingdoms to stop the evil witch!
I play a lot of games and some of them are pretty awesome but I have to say, I think this is the best game I've ever played. I'm still playing it - I can only play during spare time which is limited - but wow - it's GREAT. The graphics are so well done from the Menu page all the way through the game - beautiful. The storyline is good, mini games are fun, just an all around great game. LOVE IT!!

Life Quest 2
Move to Metropoville and begin a 12 step Life Quest program! Find a new rewarding career in this incredible Strategy game!
I really liked the first one. This one is fun but there were better choices of clothes, home decorations etc. in the first one - this is lacking in these areas. I liked the dance club also in the first one, this doesn't have things like that either. It is fun but I think I liked the first one best.

Hidden Mysteries: Royal Family Secrets
After discovering that the queen has been having a secret relationship you are sent away to Roanoke Island!
I don't like to write a bad review because I know someone put a lot of work into the various games. Unfortuantely, I cannot give this game a good review. After reading the first review I had to play it for myself to see if I too thought it was fair. I made it through 20 minutes of the demo and quit. To me the graphics aren't very well done, they are too dark and too much the same look in each scene. I really disliked the HO scenes which I normally really enjoy. I don't mind a challenge but give me a challenge, not a poorly done scene. Just not my cup of tea.
I don't recommend this game.

Living Legends: Ice Rose Collector's Edition
Novelist Edward Grand has found evidence of a terrible tragedy in the city of Rosemount and sets off to investigate!
This game was awesome. The graphics were great and the game play very lengthy. The mini games were different and some fairly challenging to me - I play in the hardest mode because I want the most bang for my buck and I like having to think things through. I also liked the music. I'm looking forward to the release of the next adventure!!

9: The Dark Side
End a centuries-old war between the Guardians and the Clan of the Nine in 9: The Dark Side!
Wow, this is a long game! I just finished it and have to say, toward the end I was getting tired of it. It's a good game, challenging mini games, pretty easy HOs and very lengthy! I hated the music so would turn it off. Sometimes things weren't logical so I wandered around a little and I pride myself on not using hints or walkthroughs but must admit, I had to use the walkthrough a few times. All in all a good game.
I recommend this game!

Dark Strokes: Sins of the Father Collector's Edition
Guide Ethan Black as he attempts to rescue his bride-to-be from a terrifying menace known as the Faceless Ones!
This is a great game. I haven't finished it but have been playing in my spare time. It's lenghty which is great, the graphics are really nice and I really like the mini games. The HO scene graphics are pretty crisp so the items are challenging but not difficult to find. The story line has me intrigued also which isn't the norm for me! All in all - GREAT GAME.
I recommend this game!

Mystery Trackers: Black Isle Collector's Edition
Black Isle was supposedly abandoned after an earthquake but the truth is much more sinister! Join the Mystery Trackers and learn the truth!
I had recently been hoping for another Mystery Trackers game so I'm thrilled with this one. I've only played the demo but will be buying when it comes out in normal (not CE) unless I just can' wait!!! I think the graphics are good, and I like the mini games and the HO scenes. The only complaint I have is the cursor seems to float and is hard to manage so I would go slowly over the scenes a couple of times to make sure I'm not missing something.
I recommend this game!

The Scruffs: Return of the Duke
Find the Lost Regalia that will help Grandpa Scruff prove that he is the true Duke of Scrufford in The Scruffs 2: Return of the Duke!
At first sight I thought this game might be a little more geared toward children but I played the demo and bought it! The graphics are enjoyable - a nice change from the dark and grim. The music is fun and I love the animated characters in each chapter - fun storyline. After a day at work this was great for just relaxing and playing AND even though it looks easy, it is challenging in the harder mode.
