If you are a fan of early RPG's like Final Fantasy or The Legend of Zelda series then this game is perfect for you. It's a great retro-style adventure starring a female vampire slayer who is assisted by a male vampire and few other folks to... well, I don't want to give the story away. But the problem is those two really get under each others skin (shades of Buffy the Vampire Slayer!). There are plenty of dungeons and towns to search, quests to achieve and adventure to be had!
Two pointers - Number one: find the fortune teller first thing and keep going in to see her until she gives you the fortune card quest. You will want to start searching everywhere from the beginning in order to find those 32 missing cards, you can't always backtrack to pick up those early ones. You have to accept that quest before you can see the little sparkly icon that tells you there is an actual card there. Number two: keep a pen and paper handy to take a few notes. When someone tells you how to find the next dungeon or town or drops a few hints you can jot it down and you won't have to search all over the place to figure out what comes next.
On the con side, the game could really use a built in map. That is the one drawback I found. So, it's up to you now, break out your hiking boots and magic spells and get lost in the Ashes of Immortality!
I recommend this game!
Compete with the neighbors for the highest score in ten home-themed card games! Use bonus cards to gain additional points.

Picket Fences is one of those rare gems that you can play over and over and it's a challenge each time. I've never reviewed a game before, but this one is so good I just had to pass the word! It was a little confusing at first but once I got the hang of it, it became my favorite.The premise is a card game where you compete against 3 computer characters to match sets of remodeling cards to redecorate a home. No blood, no gore, just a really good way to waste some time. Love it!
I recommend this game!

Film Fatale: just too dang short to be Oscar worthy!

First off, I really enjoyed the game, there just wasn't enough of it! I loved the theme and the um... plot. But it was a very short game and could have a few more challenging puzzles. The voice work is really good as are the graphics. It has a glitch sometimes in the the Meeting Room area where it indicates that you haven't finished the puzzle, but you can just ignore that. It was the only glitch I found. The main complaint is that it is just too short. In general the hidden picture games are too short but this one is REALLY short. I finished it in less than 2 hours!!!! However, it was fun to play, especially since I am a classic movie fan.
I recommend this game!
