The first Jewel Match Aquascapes is my favorite all time match three, and I was thrilled to see the sequel out. I love it as much as I love the first one. It's relaxing and beautiful and I absolutely love the music. If you just need an escape from the bleakness of the news, you can't go wrong with this game!
I recommend this game!

This horror series is so phenomenal! Ever since the True Fear devs left Big Fish, I've looked for a great horror series to really get into. The Maze series is my new favorite. I have loved all of them. I do enjoy the mechanic of being offered choices in key decisions, and the storylines are always really engaging. Highly recommend!

The Maze games are so creative! I love horror games and I love hidden object games, and this series is such an excellent combination of the two. People have been bothered by the voice acting, but, ultimately, I don't think anyone should care if it's a bit hammy. The games themselves are wonderful!
I recommend this game!

Man, I hope we see more from this developer! This is your basic puzzle game with horror/thriller/mystery elements. It does not hold your hand AT ALL, although there is an easy-out if you can't figure out a puzzle in the form of a question mark button. The graphics are fantastic and it's a great story! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
I recommend this game!

The Clutter series is unique, fun, and challenging; but the best part is it's gentle. I love the go-into-haunted-city-to-save-spouse/child/friend as much as the next person, but Clutter is a great vacation from the darker stuff. I started with 3 and now I have them all.I really hope this developer keeps it up. Highly recommended!

This is one of the more creative blends of puzzles and HOGs that I have played in a while. You can start with an HOG which turns into a spot-the-difference, which turns into a jigsaw puzzle, and so on. It is very engaging! Might be slightly easy for someone looking for an extremely challenging game, but very fun. I will definitely buy this one!
I recommend this game!

I love the dark, sinister HOGs and I especially love any HOG that takes place in an asylum (or is working toward an asylum). This game was spectacular. For anyone who does not enjoy the darker games, it is bloody and gory and there are some pretty disturbing cut scenes. If that bothers you, this game is REALLY not for you.
My only beef with the game itself is that some of the puzzles involved crucial clues that were so tiny, it was impossible to make heads or tails of it. Also the game lets you start incomplete puzzles instead of making you find all the pieces before you start, which can lead to confusion as to whether or not a game is glitchy or a piece is missing.
That being said, I'm extremely excited about this trilogy, and I can't wait for the next one.
I recommend this game!

This is a very unique little gem of a game. It was a tremendous amount of fun, but it ended a bit soon -- not so soon to where I felt like I'd been ripped off, but I felt it could have been slightly longer. Should this stop anyone from trying/buying the game? Nope. Even knowing what I know now about the length, I'd still pay to own it.
I recommend this game!

The amount of thought that went into crafting this story and every scene is so impressive. This game is unlike any other HOG I've played, and as far as I can tell it's totally obscure. If anyone happens upon this, as I did, just give it a try. It is such a little gem!
I recommend this game!
