There have been several murders in London, mysterious murders of mysterious beings! Few people are aware that London has a secret. In fact, London has a Secret City that humans can't see, and don't even know it exists! Within the magical barrier of the city, resides three different species, the Lakrians, who are four-armed, powerful Mages, the Youtuns, who are blue-skinned giants and the Dwarves who live underground. Each culture is pointing their finger at the other, as the soul-stealing culprit. Even though humans aren't aware of their existence, you are called upon to investigate this case with complete authority to enter all three domains. Too bad nobody will believe you if you solve the case!
When I first started playing this game, I was confused. I thought this was a new series title but it looked exactly like a Mystery Tales game, heavily laden with excessive blue hues! A few minutes later, I was handed a pair of magical Glasses that reveals the Secret City, isn't that what the Glasses do in Mystery Tales? In my opinion, if Mystery Tales games were sinking ratings-wise, why would you ruin a new series by including everything Mystery Tales games have? It even has Missing Note Pages and all the same collectible types of Mystery Tales, I just don't get it, cut the apron strings, the MT baby is all grown let it go!
The Hidden Object Scenes are clear and the images are recognizable, but because the items aren't really hidden, they tend to be less challenging to find. The scenes vary with Keywords in Sentences of a background story, Silhouetted Shape finds, Interactive List finds and several smaller Silhouetted Shape find Zoom Zones. One of the Zoom Zone HOP's required you to switch colored filter lenses, but the items stuck out like a sore thumb. There is an alternative Match 3 game available, but I never understood why they don't just allow you to skip an HOP like they do the Mini-Games?
The Mini Games are actually quite challenging for a change! Don't worry, you can choose to play them in an Easy or Hard difficulty mode. (just like MT) Below are brief descriptions on some of the games you'll encounter during the demo:
1) Drag sketches to align with the images shown.
2) Find 3 sections for each symbol shown on the Amulet.
3) Swap and rotate triangle shaped tiles to complete images.
4) Grab 2 tokens at a time, rotate and replace to correct slots
5) Select colored eyes to reveal tile images & swap correctly.
6) Arrange tokens to match the clue, rotating 1 affects others
7) Reassemble image using arrows on columns & rows.
8) Move Knights in L formation to cover the entire board.
9) Adjust the lens to restore the images.
10) Adjust the dial to locate footprints.

The Collector's Edition version has 16 Wallpapers, 9 Concept Art pictures, 5 Music Soundtracks, 28 re-playable Movie Videos, 18 re-playable Hidden Object Scenes, 19 re-playable Mini-Games, 15 Achievements to Earn, 15 Collectible Secret City Newspaper Stories, (allows you to read Newspaper Articles from the Secret City) 55 Hidden Crystals (that allows you to purchase 14 Evidence items, 15 Hidden Artifacts (allows you to visit the Room Of Mystical Cultures and read about the Artifacts used in the Secret City) Missing Notes to discover (why do I lose my notes in every series by Domini?) 6 Main Chapters +Bonus Chapter and a built-in Strategy Guide, enjoy!
I recommend this game!

I absolutely love the variety of Mosaics this dev offers, and I'm becoming a huge fan of this series. However, I wasn't able to play this game on my Windows 10 PC, and when I switched to my Mac, it worked, but a pop-up window warned that the game wasn't optimized for the newer versions and that the dev would need to update their software. I realize that this is a smaller developer, but Windows and Mac OS are only going to move forward, so this is an issue they're going to have to address sooner or later.
The main features of this series are that they take you to the World's Greatest Cities and tell you some interesting facts about the city you are visiting, they also offer a custom difficulty mode, and they have interactive Mosaics that movements such as boats or turtles in the water.
You can play in a Casual, Normal or Expert difficulty mode, or you can customize the difficulty mode by choosing if you want to play in a timed mode, if you want bonus points as a time bonus, whether you want numbers crossed off one by one or only when the entire row has been completed, and you can set the number of mistakes allowed from 1-5 and how long it takes for the hint feature to recharge from 30-120 seconds.

There are 3 different types of Mosaics offered in this version
*Traditional (multi-colored) which has 3 different colors to switch between to help you solve the puzzle. (there are also multi-colored Shape puzzles, my personal favorite, where shapes replace the numbers, if you scan over the shape, the traditional is displayed) In some of the puzzles, some sections may be locked, requiring you to complete a different color to unlock those sections.

*Mystery Lands which fills in each cell with 3 different kinds of pictures that when complete forms a beautiful scene, often with swimming fish, turtles or boats.
*Labyrinth Game is similar to Mystery Lands, but after completing the puzzle, you guide a ball through the maze from point A to B by clicking on intersections of the maze.

Viking Brothers have everything yesterday's TM game didn't. It's bright and colorful, the music isn't annoying, and the features and tasks are varied in every level. I don't have to click on buildings several times to get to the one I need and then click again to accept my selection, and I don't have to listen to a voice telling me I don't have enough workers or resources. I'm so glad they didn't offer this game as a Collector's Edition so I can buy it now without having to wait another month for the SE version!
This is a Strategy based, Resource collection TM game, and on most levels, if you don't apply the right tasks at the right times, you'll probably earn less than 3 stars. During the demo, I found myself having to replay a few of the levels to apply different strategies, otherwise, I was lucky to earn 1 star. You can play in a relaxed un-timed mode if you don't like fast-paced games, but if you're looking for a fast-paced, challenging game, you're going to love Viking Brothers.
Each level shows you the goals before you begin, and are also shown during the level to use as a reference, at the top right of the screen. There is a Star status Progress Bar located on the top right of the screen, to show you when you are about to lose a star. If you don't achieve at least one star, you will have to replay the level to progress. On the top of the screen, there is an inventory bar that shows your resources and the amount you currently have. If you scan over a task with your cursor, it will tell you the amount of each resource required to complete the task. If you click on a task that cannot be completed due to a lack of resources, it will tell you which resources and the amount you are lacking. On the bottom of the screen, there is a Bonus Progress Bar, that refills slowly. Some levels only offer one bonus, some levels offer two, so you can either choose the first Bonus or wait until the meter reaches the second bonus to apply it. There are bonuses that make the workers move super fast, Extra workers, extra resources or bonuses that freeze time briefly.
I love this series, I love the graphics, and I love the features and interesting characters such as Goblin and Trolls, even the god of mischief, Loki helps out the Viking Brothers. There are storm clouds to avoid, gold and stone to mine, bridges, and potholes to repair, food and wood to gather, and merchants to trade goods with. This is how a Time Management game should be, enjoy!

I like this game, but it isn't as good as the previous games in this series. I don't understand why this dev has felt the sudden urge to include a bunch of mindless mini-game features to their Time Management games either? They aren't really mini-games, and they definitely don't require any skill on the players part to complete them, not to mention the fact that this is a TM game, not a puzzle game!
This is actually the fourth installment of the Fabulous Angela's Time Management series, but only the third one made available from Felix. In the first episode, Sweet Revenge, Angela moved to the Big Apple to begin a career as a fashion designer. In Fashion Fever, Angela had to design the perfect dress to win the chance to take over for a legendary fashion mogul, Truly. In High School Reunion, Angela was organizing her High School reunion when she managed to get thrown in jail! Now Angela has the perfect opportunity to learn from New York's fashion guru, Sebastian, in Fabulous: Angela's Wedding Disaster.
The object of this Time Management game is to serve customers that come into the boutique as quickly as possible so they remain happy and patient. When customers arrive they will show you which product or dress they desire, you click on the correct item, then click on the correct customer, then click the register to complete the sale, if a customer tries on a dress, you will need to clean the dressing room as well.
Some items require multiple steps to combine the product, and eventually some products are located inside of display cases. You will earn up to three gold stars, each star earned gives you 50 coins that can be used in the shop (available after each level) You will earn extra points if you find and click on Carl the Mouse that pops up, and for multi-tasking or combinations.
There are 60 levels located in within different areas, 24 Bonus Levels and 6 Endless Levels 9 Wallpapers, and 18 Trophy Achievements available in this Collector's Edition version. You can purchase upgrades that will help serve more customers, help customers remain happy and patient, restock larger inventories, or make cleaning a breeze. If you complete the side quests that are given to you on some levels, you will earn Diamonds that can be used to play the bonus diamond levels.
Although I'm not a fan of a Collector's Edition and the price that goes along with it, on a TM game, it doesn't look like we get the Standard Edition version options because none of the Fabulous games have been offered so far by BF, so it's kind of a "take it or leave it scenario. This isn't one of the best Fabulous games offered, but I suppose if you wait for a sale, it would be worthy, enjoy!

Normally, I like TM games by this dev, but Archimedes is really a snooze-fest! The music was so loud when I first opened it up, that I couldn't get to the setting page quick enough. I turned the music way down, only to discover a horrible twangy banjo, slapstick tune between levels that was so irritating I finally had to turn the sound completely off, which is something I've never had to do in all my game-playing years!
The TM levels were bland with the same yellow-ish hues, it was an immediate turn-off with nothing colorful to look at. Level after level seemed to present nothing exciting, in fact, each level was repetitive, build 5 houses, chop down all trees, remove all rocks, repair all bridges. Earn a specific amount of gold (I'll get to that gripe soon) It seemed like I was doing the same thing over and over.
When you construct a building you must click on the plot, then choose Hut or Facility, then you have to click again on the pop-up or it won't be queued, which seemed like an unnecessary extra step. There aren't any food sources, either along the paths or via a farm etc. you have to build a Market and buy the food. The whole time you're playing the level, a woman is narrating, you need more "servants" not enough food, not enough gold, which just annoyed me after a while.
Several of the levels required me to build a specific number of Huts and Earn a specific amount of Gold. I was able to build the Huts one after the other, without wasting any time, then I had to sit there with nothing to do while I waited and waited for my huts to earn Gold, and because it took so long to earn the gold, I lost a Star! I replayed the level, built the huts quickly, then upgraded the huts to make more money faster, and I was STILL having to wait. Who wants to watch the huts make money with nothing to do?
As far as a Collector's Edition Version goes, you get a built-in Strategy Guide, 9 Wallpapers, and 20 Trophy Achievements, but I hardly think that's worth twice the price?
I recommend this game!

The Seer has just had a dire vision about "The Wild Hunt" a vision of Death and Despair. The Hunt is interfering with the rules the gods have set, and the gods are angry. The Shield-Maiden is eager to take on The Hunt, she is prepared to do whatever it takes to defend the Nine Worlds. Stories of the Wild Hunt prophecy have been passed down for generations in The Huntresses Clan, and she has agreed to visit the elders to gather vital knowledge to help them on their quest. The Skald is ready, willing, and able, to play a song??? It's hard to take this game seriously when all these epic visions and battle-ready characters inspire everyone, and then the camera pans to the Skald who's casually strumming a tune and say's "Surely this shall be an event worthy of a song" Seriously?? That's easy for him to say, does he have to walk around with antlers strapped to his back having visions of doom and gloom? Does he have to carry a large wooden shield and defend everyone from Dragons to otherworldly creatures? Does he have to Hunt down prey from wild Boars to Giant Bears? Nope, he's just sitting around waiting to play a stuid song once the battles been fought!
The Hidden Object Scenes are fairly mia in this puzzle-heavy game. The scenes themselves are located in interesting locations, and for the most part, are well done and story related. There are Silhouetted Shape finds, Keywords in Sentence finds and one where you must find the correct faces on several figurines. In this Collector's Edition version, each scene has a Morphing Object to find, and the morphs are slow and well concealed.
The Mini-Games are more abundant than the HOP's in this game. Personally, I found many of them to be far to easy to solve, some of which have lengthy, and/or confusing directions. If you choose to Skip a game, you'll still have to wait and watch a step by step replay of how it's solved. Below are brief descriptions of some of the games you'll encounter during the demo:
1) Select identical buttons in the same horiz/vert/diag line.
2) Use a viewfinder to locate & focus all rock formations.
3) Shoot all sandbags when target crosshairs turn green.
4) Plan correct sequence using attack/defend/heal icons.
5) Match all tokens to remove them.
6) Replicate a sculpture by choosing the correct designs.
7) Drag tokens along tracks to their matching slots.
8) Choose 2 stones that have the correct symbol sections shown.

The Match 3 game itself is identical to the first game in this series, Curse Of Darkness, but they have added a few new features as far as creating the "potions". When you have earned enough money, you can Create a Potion, and you will need to create 4 different potions to progress to the next level. Once you buy the potion recipe, a pop-up window will appear and you will search for the ingredients in the scene. Then you click on those ingredients in the order shown to create the potion. This is a simplistic step, and more of a time-waster than anything, for me personally.
A pop-up window will appear before the game starts warning you that you may have to play the game in Windowed Mode if you are playing on Windows 10, however, I didn't select the windowed option and I didn't have any issues whatsoever.
The only complaints I have with this game, are that the tile elements are so alike and "busy" that at times, that it gets difficult to tell them apart or see available matches. I'm also a little disappointed that you don't earn any bonuses or power-ups when you make large matches, it just says, "good job" or "terrific Match 5."
This is a swap type Match 3 game, where you swap elements to make Matches of at least 3 identical elements. You must make matches over all of the Gold Cells, and make the required amount of matches of each Element shown. Elements inside of bubbles, morph (I think they appear when you make large matches, but I'm not positive) you can wait until the desired element appears inside the bubble, and pop it to help set up matches.
There are the usual Obstructions of Chained or Double Chained Tiles that require one or two matches of whichever element is chained, or pesky spiders that will spin webs over the tiles if they aren't destroyed by a match under them. Some levels require you to collect various items by dropping them off of the board as you make matches under them.
There are Four different types of Power-ups available, and each one requires a Mana Meter refill after each use. The Hammer destroys a single element or chain, Bombs cover a 4 tile range (more as you progress) Lightning hits random tiles and the Crucible removes all of the same kind of tile element.
Although there aren't really any new features offered, it is a colorful, swap type Match 3 game (some of which look too similar) The levels progress nicely with slightly more challenge with each one. The power-ups are easily accessible, and the goals are obtainable. You can earn up to 3 Stars per level, which is a little more difficult than you'd think, to earn all three, enjoy!

Snow White Solitaire: Charmed Kingdom is one of my favorite Solitaire games, so I was super excited when I saw this sequel. The first thing I noticed with this game was that they don't give you many deck cards. By the time I got to level 3, it seemed impossible to beat with so few deck cards to work with. I replayed the level over and over, I just couldn't earn any stars much less 3. I'm one of those people who will keep playing a level until I remove all of the cards, but this game seemed impossible! Eventually, I removed all the cards and moved on. I began to realize that I was actually enjoying the fact the I was replaying the same level, it became a mission but not a mission impossible.
Snow White Solitaire has all the features I want in a Higher/Lower type Solitaire game, and really none that I don't like. You can choose from 4 different card themes, and 2 face card fonts and there are 14 Achievement Trophies to earn.
The goal is to earn 3 stars per level, and any level can be replayed as often as needed if you want to earn all 3 stars. If you remove all cards from the board, you'll earn 3 stars, if 1 card remains, you'll earn 2 stars and if 2 cards remain, you'll earn 1 star. There is an Undo feature that allows you to undo your last move, and each level allows for a single use.
Bonuses appear randomly on some of the cards, but only temporarily, so if you're not able to use that card within a few seconds, it will disappear, but usually reappears fairly quickly on a different card. The type of Bonus varies, the Coin will give you 50 extra coins if you're able to include that card in a chain, and the Tornado will reveal 2 random face-down cards on the board once you include the card in a chain. You will occasionally earn number specific Wildcards and Jokers as you progress.
Obstacle cards are eventually introduced as a challenge such as Rock Cards that require uncovering the Hammer, Cards with Leaves require two plays, the first time the card is used, it removes the leaves, the second time it's included, will remove the card entirely.
Helpers will join you on your quest in the form of a Power-up Card. During the demo, the Knight offers his service to swap a card from the deck, with a useful card. You can upgrade the Helpers abilities with the coins you earn, in the Shop once they become available. Eventually, the Goblin, Golem, Dragon, and Sorceress will join forces with you. You can also purchase the Titan's Eye Amulet that lets you see available moves on the board, the Amulet of Hermes which adds two cards to the deck at the beginning of each level or purchase Jokers to use as a wildcard.
I love it when Solitaire games are released by other devs, I hate the Solitaire games that require you to remove all Gold Cards, and then don't give you the option to keep playing to try to remove the rest of the cards. It drives me bonkers when several cards remain on the board!
Bottom line is, if you don't want the challenge of having to replay levels until all cards are removed, you probably won't like this game. If you are like me and love the challenge, its doable, and very relaxing, enjoy!

DEATH DOESN'T HAVE TO BE FINAL...but it's pretty darn close to the finish line!

fromDid anyone else think it was ironic that the Memorial Park dedicated to the Train derailment catastrophe, had a model train display that derailed on the bridge?

I thought we all collectively agreed to ix-nay on the gadgets-nay? Well...they're back! Yep that stupid Camera feature has returned to reveal items which cannot be seen by the naked eye, er I'm sorry "supernatural elements" Not only does this camera eagle-eye exactly the same number of items each time, but it's also somehow able to capture incriminating video footage of the bad guy doing his bad guy thing! Why are we searching for the paranormal for free when we could solve every cold-case known to mankind? JFK-I've got that video! Where's Jimmy Hoffa-Who's Jack-the-Ripper-Who's the Zodiac Killer-Did DB Cooper survive the jump-Is Tupac really alive-Who tainted the Tylenol-What really happened on the boat when Natalie Woods died-did a giant meteorite kill the Dinosaurs???....I'm just saying...
The Hidden Object Scenes are mostly Multiple Item Finds such as "find 6 gems" but there are also Related Pair Finds, Sketch Picture Finds, and a Story Related HOP where you are tasked with finding 2 Symbols per Paragraph on a concept art drawing. In this Collector's Edition version, each HOP has a Morphing Object to find, (with the exception of the smaller Zoom Zone HOP's) and you can re-play the HOP's in the extra's section to pick up a morph you may have overlooked.
The Mini Games are extremely easy, one of the tile swap games was solved by simply making one swap! I prefer puzzles that you have to tinker with such as adjusting levels, setting dials etc, but all of this games seem to be swap type or move along a line type. Below are brief descriptions of some of the games you'll encounter in the demo:
1) Rotate 4 tiles to create the Fright Chasers logo.
2) Move tiles to correct rows according to clue.
3) Select the matching crack shapes to break.
4) Select Harp strings in the correct order according to clue.
5) Drag gem arms to point at their matching color slots.
6) Align 3 slider buttons to the center row.
7) Arrange parts to replicate the clue shown.
8) Rotate 3 discs to allow access to the scroll under them.
9) Play the melody on the piano according to the clue.

A few years ago, the Sages activated a portal to a parallel dimension. Ambassadors from both worlds signed a Peace Treaty and the two worlds seemed to coincide with each other without incident, or so it seemed. Shortly after signing the Treaty, citizens of our world fell ill and rapidly aged. As the disease began to spread, Henrik arrived from the Cities to offer a cure in exchange for our children, to supposedly join his court. There's just one problem... the cure isn't working!
We get a mechanical Owl to help us in our quest to solve this otherworldly disease dilemma, but he is rather cute and doesn't seem to make irritating noises or constantly shifting in his little owl domain, so I'm okay with him tagging along. Besides, it's kind of like taking a canary into the mines right?
I felt that the Collector's Edition version was a wee bit unworthy in the bling department with only 1 uninteresting Collectible type, (Love Letters) and no other morph or special feature. There were, however, a ton of the Love Letters to find, usually, 3 per scene, and it does allow you to return to the scene to search for any letters you may have missed by selecting the Dove Icon associated with that particular scene. In my personal opinion, this Standard Edition version is the route to take, I just don't see anything exciting enough in the CE version to constitute twice the price!
Hidden Object Scenes are very creative, which is something I rarely say nowadays! Most of the HOP's are multi-layered and unfortunately, some of the scenes are repeated, which is a feature I really don't care for, it's just too boring and items are too easily spotted the second time around. There are Silhouetted Shape finds, Replacing items back into the scene, Multiples of the same object finds, and Interactive List finds available. You can opt to play a Match 3 game instead of the HOP's.
The Mini Games are in abundance and most have 3-4 different steps, but none seem to be too difficult or too frustrating. Below is a list of brief descriptions of some of the games you'll encounter during the demo:
1) Rotate the petri dish to align the shaped puzzle pieces.
2) Move mechanical wasp antennae to correct positions.
3) Connect the dots to fill in all lines of the triangle.
4) Rotate sections to complete the image.
5) Repeat the sequence of tiles lighting up.
6) Place the symbol sections onto the correct store logo.
7) Swap tiles to complete the pattern.
8) Push colored orbs into their matching colored vortex,
9) Pull out all pins in the correct order.
10) Slide roses along the track to color-coded slots.
