Mortimer Beckett and the Crimson Thief
Who is the Crimson Thief? Can Mortimer piece together the clues to finding all the stolen items? There is much more to this new mystery than meets the eye.

I played these games years ago on Yahoo and loved them. Have been waiting since joining BFG for them to appear. I even put in a request. I have now bought all four games at once and couldn't be more pleased. They are not the easiest HOS but they make you think and use reason. There is actually a sense of satisfaction when you finish one. I am now playing The Crison Thief, which is the most difficult, and thoroughly enjoying it despitepulling my hair out.
I recommend this game!

Like others, I have been waiting for another Hercules game to add to the others. This one does not disappoint. Great graphics and some new characters, including a pest of an oponent in some stages. It took me a while to figure out how to stop him.
I recommend this game!

The graphics for this game are beautiful. Sadly the gameplay is not. You use up energy moving about the playing field as well as in the HOS. Bonuses are few and far between so you have to buy rubies and coins. There are only a few HOS and you have to keep going round and round to try and get the items you need to progress the quests. After spending almost two weeks going round and round the same HOS and still not being able to progres I, with regret, uninstalled the game.
I don't recommend this game.

A change from the ordinary TM game. In this one you really have to think and plan or you run out of resources before the end of the level. There is also only one direction to travel through a level to finish it. It took a while to get used to this and I had to replay some levels several times. The collection of resources to make extra items by weaving, fishing, building etc., was an added dimension. I got totally hooked on this game and played it in longer stretches than usual just to see wahat happened next.
I recommend this game!

I think I would rather shave my eyeballs than play this game again. Dull, boring and uninteresting are just three words that come to mind.
I don't recommend this game.

Having played the other "House of a 1000 Doors games,I was delighted to see this one. Every bit as absorbing as the first two and possibly a bit harder. The stories are so clever and the HOS are just complicated enough to hold the interest.
I recommend this game!

Not only is this a great Time Management game with a good story, but there are sections of Match 3 and Hidden Object games as well.

Sorry, but I found this game awful. The backgrounds were drab, there was too much dialogue, which was also slow, and the "action" was non existent.
I don't recommend this game.

I don't usually go for TM game as I usually run out of time before the tasks are finished. However I thought I would try this one. Great, it had an untimed game. It really is fun as well as challenging for an "oldie". The little guys running around really make me laugh. Having read some of the other reviews, I haven't found the hamsters, so better have another look!
I recommend this game!

Having read all the Judge Dee books, I was thrilled to see this game come up. However, the colours were dull, there was too much dialogue and I seemed to spend a lot of time wandering about and not progressing. I quit after about 15 minutes
I don't recommend this game.
