I have, and probably with many other Fishies, been waiting patiently and with eager anticipation for another game in the Puppetshow series. Well I have only trialled it so far. Funds are a bit low at the moment. So have to wait til my birthday in May!. In this game, Felicia, travels back and so do you to that ill-fated night when there was the fire at the theatre, and do what you can to prevent it from happening. The music is the same as always a haunting melody that draws you into the game.
As the other reviewer has said, "haven't a clue what to do, here. Played for 5 mins, doesn't compare to Glofish, no explanations, no nothing. Might try a bit later on, but at the moment no. Will take it off the system, have plenty of other games to keep me amused.
As promised, my review for the Return of the Duke. Although I did like the original Scruffs game, especially when I found out the Children's secret; this is a whole lot better. More crazy characters, than the first one, lots more to do besides HOs and jigsaws and more little cartoon episodes which I absolutely loved. You could probably skip the first one completely, but like other Fishies have said, the one hour trial run is always available. I do hope they will do one more in this series, and from what they said at the end of the game they probably will!
If you like peering up close to your screen, like I had to, to find the smallest of objects, then this is the one for you. I did like piecing together the jigsaws, but trying to find the "proverbial needle in a haystack", of the smaller objects was frustrating, especially when I ran out of 'bones'. In the end I had to do the untimed version to find everything. The untidiness of the rubbish heaps, obviously defying Newton's Law of Gravity! got to me a bit. I wish there had been more cartoons in the story. However, when I review the sequel which I will do in due course; a game which I am currently playing it's a whole different "ball" game.
I recommend this game!

It took me a while to get used to the graphics instead of photographed HO scenes which I am more used to. I guessed correctly one thing straight away, but I won't say what it was. It in no way spoilt the game, in fact it made it more enjoyable. I liked the map idea. What could have been perhaps more fun would be to collect the raven's feathers, he certainly scattered plenty flying ahead through the portals. I again got this on a special Bigfish deal, and it was well worth the money. One thing I suggest is play both as a female character and as a male character in tandem because sometimes you get so far, and then you are stuck. By the time you've played your second persona to the same point, you probably will have sussed one or two things out. I give this game a high rating.

I have just finished playing The Void and have thoroughly enjoyed it. It isn't quite so scary as the Mystery Case Files, or so gruesome. It had just the right amount of frightening moments. The game was nice and long. I only bought the non collector's one, as I got it on the special offer that Big Fish did a few days ago; and it's well worth the money. The only drawback to this game was the music, which was incredibly repetitive. I turned it down after a while. I liked the story line, with its unexpected twists. I am certainly going to trial Raincliff and the Black Isle.

I have only played half an hour of the trial, this is going to be a must buy for me. The glowing colours of this sea world of Glow Fish, and music drifts you into a world of fantasy. I wish I had the money, have to wait another week! I love the seamlessness of it too, the walls are made up of sea urchins, anemones, and starfish. It reminds of me of the world of Spongebob Squarepants. Have been told to avoid the jellyfish! I give it at least a four star marking. I might give it all fives if I am able to review it again. Not sure if you can do that or not, as this is only the second game I have reviewed. The game is as far as I know is to rescue tiny tiddlers, collect gold coins and fight other fish, but as I play more, I am sure there are lots of other things to aim for. I can only go on the half hour I have played so far. Fishy Fun for Everyone, is how I'll end this review!

Not too taxing as a game, relaxing. The valley of butterflies can be hypnotic, but apart from beating the arcade times and points not a lot to do. I play it last thing at night to unwind.
