This certainly was a short demo! I normally love fantasy games about dragons and gargoyles, but End of Dawn just didn't hit the five star mark with this game. It's just more of the same, baby is saved from evil, grows up at the Zora Academy of Alchemy, sixteen years later, baby passes Alchemy exam just in the nick of time, baby now must save the Academy because for some reason, all other students and professors don't qualify for the job. It's probably because baby (guess she's no longer a baby, she's Eliana Marcus) Elaina was the only student who received a personal assistant in the form of a fairy Dahlia, and a magical Alchemy Amulet, talk about favoritism! I liked the demo, I just didn't love it, I just wish it had some backbone to it.
The Magic Amulet allows you to use it's powers of protection after playing a game of "repeat the sequence" and the Fairy will help you reach items only a fairy can accomplish. In this Collector's Edition version, there are are 42 hidden Crests, 16 collectible Hats, and 8 Ghosts to find, all of which give you stories about their origins and background. There are also 7 different Achievements to earn Gold, Silver and Bronze star categories.
The Hidden Object Scenes are basic Interactive List finds, each containing a Morphing Object in this CE version. I did enjoy the Stained Glass Hidden Object Scene, but there's nothing new or out of the ordinary so far.
The Mini Games are decent, but tend to be on the easy breezy side. Below are brief descriptions of some of the games you'll encounter during the demo:
1) Use the clue to figure out the lock combination.
2) Follow the recipe instructions correctly to unfreeze the fairy.
3) Alchemy Amulet puzzles require you to repeat increasingly more difficult sequences.
4) Match the color of the symbol tokens with the color of the lines, using the flame points as reference.
5) Use directional arrows to move the balloon through the map, avoiding obstacles.
This Collector's Edition has 6 Wallpapers, 6 Concept Art pictures, 5 Music Soundtracks, replayable Mini Games and Hidden Object Scenes, Morphing Objects within the HOP's, 7 Achievements to earn gold, silver and bronze awards, 42 Hidden Crests, 16 Collectible Hats with origins, 8 Collectible Ghosts with origins, Cutscenes, a built in Strategy Guide and a Bonus Adventure, enjoy!
I recommend this game!

More Challenging Than The Other Three Games In The Series

I love the graphics this Time Management game offers, and each level has really good layouts with plenty of areas to interact with. However, I do have a few complaints, the biggest drawback for me, is that it takes several attempts to earn all 3 stars, because if you don't choose the right tasks at the right times, you end up not being able to progress any further, but I guess that's where the challenge comes into play. This isn't an easy breezy game (unless you are playing in Relaxed mode which is untimed) and I will admit that I had to restart several levels to "get it right" by slightly altering the order in which I queued my tasks, otherwise I had to waste time waiting for the necessary resources to be available because I used them on a different task that had more benefits. You can earn up to 3 stars in each level, and you will have to use strategy to earn all three stars.
In this fourth edition of Elven Legends' Queen Aerin and the majestic griffin were relaxing and enjoying the beautiful uneventful day when a stranger popped through the elven portal. The stranger has asked for the Queen's help saving his world, and naturally, the Queen has obliged. In the Collector's Edition version, each level has a Morphing little thief, and there are several Potion Bottles to find as well throughout your adventure, but in my opinion, the extras offered aren't enough given the price difference. There are the normal resources to collect, food, wood, stone etc. and the same tasks of clearing the roads, repairing bridges and filling in pits along the way. Queen Aerin will do all the magic work, once she has enough magical crystals to charge her staff.
There are several Altars of Resources available in each level that will produce resources over a period of time and each level has a Bonus meter that recharges to give you temporary boosts such as faster workers, more resources, or extra workers. You will need to construct different buildings to help you achieve your goals such as Farms, Workers House's and Magic Wells.
The Collector's Edition has 8 Wallpapers, 8 Concept Art pictures, 50 Collectible Potion Bottles, Morphing Little Thieves, 9 Alchemy Encyclopedia pages, a built in Strategy Guide, 50 Levels & 10 Bonus Levels, 38 Achievements, High Scores and a Bonus Chapter, enjoy!

An abnormal magnetic field under Deadmond has spiked since the time of the Druids, but yesterday's spike has made up for lost time. Time that these townsfolk no longer have, because time has fast forwarded their lives. The Queen has asked you to investigate this crime against mortality, because almost everyone has aged rapidly (I say almost because little Henry is still little Henry?!?) Joined by Alison Sterling, from Dire Grove, your investigation becomes increasingly difficult with every road you take, but all roads seem to lead to the town's benefactor, Richard Galloway. Time won't be on your side for long, Master Detective, this case must be solved before everyone perishes from old age!
Incredible! Mystery Case Files has never released a dud (Shadow Lake may be the exception lol) This one might even top my beloved Ravenhearst series, but I do have to voice my opinion on one flaw. It seems they opted to put the Morphing Objects within the HOP's instead of the main game, and for that, I say BOO! I fell in love with this series once I discovered that they all offered Morphing Objects within each scene, and I played them one after another because of the morphs. I always forget to look for the morphs within the HOP's, especially when they are as engrossing as the one's offered in this game. There are 39 Jigsaw Puzzle Pieces and Achievements to earn in this Collector's Edition, which normally isn't enough to sway me to purchase a CE version, but I simply must have this game one way or another to complete my series collection.
The Hidden Object Scenes are so interactive, so fun! There are only 2 offered in the demo, the first is an Interactive List find, the second is an Interactive, Progressive, Silhouetted Shape find that allows you to pan between 3 different scenes. Each of the 12 HOP's have a Morphing Object to find and they include at least one Mini Game puzzle.
The Mini Games seem to be easier than the usual games offered by MCF, even the 8 part Super Puzzle seem easier, but they are simply fantastic, some of which are offered in the HOP's. Below are brief descriptions of some of the games you'll encounter during the demo:
1) Use the clue to dial the correct phone number.
2) Guide the car to the finish line by selecting parts of the road, fueling is equal to one square of road, traffic lights need two fuel units.
3) Shoot the required number of colored spheres at matching colored spheres to make matches of three or more identical spheres.
4) Move the weights so that both sides of the scale are balanced.
5) Position the red tokens according to the picture in the center.
6) Swap the battery tiles to complete the pattern.
7) Use directional arrows to move the snake to eat all fruit.
8) Flip switches according to the hint provided.
9) Use clues to figure out the correct amount of money needed to withdraw, and select the correct money icons to enter.
10) Select the correct symbols on the cylinders shown on the parking meter.
11) Create a path that divides the empty dots from the solid dots.
This Collector's Edition has 12 replayable Hop's with 12 Morphing Objects, 36 replayable Mini Games, a Knight's Dire Fate, 39 collectible Jigsaw Puzzle Pieces, Case Files, a Trophy Room, 19 Achievements to earn, 11 Music Soundtracks, Wallpapers, Concept Art pictures, 12 Movies, a built in Strategy Guide and a Bonus Adventure, enjoy lifting that veil!

Seems like all Time Management games like this one, try really hard to make the gameplay exactly like the Delicious series. I get it, Emily is a fan favorite and one of my personal favorites as well. The problem is, that they aren't as good as that series, therefore it's just another series with deja vu. This one however, has a really good storyline, and it would have been awesome if it just had some different tasks in a slightly different style.
This is a Time Management game that follows the trials and tribulations of Maggie, whose love for the cinema has led her to Louisiana, working as an assistant director. Unfortunately, she reports directly to the producer, Susan, and she's a little out of touch, and not all that likeable. To make matters worse, Clyde the director, is a bit quirky and allows his dog Hitchcock, to run the show.
You can play in Beginner, Normal or Expert modes of difficulty, and there are about 60 regular levels. The goals are easy, but fast paced, and just like in the Delicious series, that pesky mouse pops up in each level, catching the mouse will earn you an extra 100 points. As people arrive, you click on the products they want, which is shown above them in a thought bubble. When they are finished you click on the register to complete the sale. Some items require a single click, others require combining a couple of different items, and you will have to clean some areas before another person can access it such as dressing rooms.
With the money you earn, you can purchase upgrades to help you, such as more dressing rooms, tables and counter areas, or items that keep the people happy with more patience. Some items need restocked, but most items seem to have a never ending supply, and I don't understand why they need multiple watches or purses to help them act. Challenges are offered as well which will earn you Diamonds which can be used to buy trophies. Each trophy tells you a background story about one of the characters. There are 22 Achievements to earn, and 18 Challenge trophies available.
In this Collector's Edition you get a few extras that I'm assuming won't be available when the Standard version is released. They include Achievements, Wallpapers, Concept Art pictures, 18 Challenge levels, and a Bonus Chapter.
I recommend this game!

Mr. Penguin and Uncle Aaron are planning a surprise trip for the ladies to an Ancient Castle! This Castle of puzzles offers new and vibrant colors, some of which look like gummies! As always, every step you take in the game will help you discover items for the Penguin Garden. This time, the garden will be decorated with inhabitants from the Castle.
This latest version still has 6 different color bubbles, but they have added several new colors, including fluorescent colors and colors that remind me of gummy candy. You can switch between the color bubbles to help you solve these colorful griddlers, and you can earn a Gold trophy if you make no mistakes, a Silver trophy if you make one mistake and a Bronze trophy if you make two mistakes, three mistakes require you to replay the level. You will also earn up to three gold Stars if you don't use any hints, one star is deducted each time you use a hint. Therefore, it is possible to make a mistake or two but still earn 3 stars if you don't use any hints.
This is a griddler or mosaic type puzzle game where you fill in and cross of cells on various sized grids, using logic, so you'll never have to guess. (unlike some griddler games) There are groups of numbers located on each column and row of the grid, each group of numbers must be separated by at least one blank or crossed off cell. Sometimes it's easier to figure out where numbers can't possibly fit to reduce the amount of cells and narrow the playing field down a bit. Some cells contain bonuses such as extra hints, extra mistakes allowed or an extra pickaxe which allows you to choose which cell you want a hint on. There is a Sun icon as well that when fully charged, will give you a mega hint, filling in or crossing off a 3x3 area of your choice.
The one feature that makes Fantasy Mosaics stand out from the rest of the griddler games, is the vibrant array of colors available, and now there's six different colors used to make the pictures even better. It can also help you solve the puzzle when you get stuck, because you can switch to another color which ultimately narrows down the available cells. Unlike many griddler games, these pictures actually make sense, because they have six different colors you know what image you have created.
This is my favorite Mosaic Griddler series and is one of the best available, and certainly the most colorful. This is a must have game for griddler geeks and an immediate purchase for this geek. I spent the entire day playing it, enjoy!
I recommend this game!

Tristan is a Master Stone Carver whose talent as a sculptor has earned him respect throughout the country. Tristan breathes life into each and every statue, quite literally, because his statues are exact replicas of the dearly departed. Somehow, he has found a way to return his clients loved one's back into the loving arms of their families, in the form of walking, talking statues! There's just one flaw with this scenario, the statues don't feel all warm and fuzzy inside, and their loved ones are having a difficult time loving something that's not all warm and fuzzy on the outside. This has led the statues to form a coup d'etat against their creator. Could this mean the statues have a brain? Do they have a soul? Perhaps all they need is a heart.
None of the Royal Detective games have been as epic as the first game in this series, but this edition does have a good storyline. Another comparison I will make with the original Lord of Statues is that the graphics have gone downhill ever since, especially when compared with the last three games. I think somebody decided to switch from computer generated graphics to hand drawn graphics, they have done a beautiful job, but I prefer crisp computer generated graphics. You'll have to use a lot of imagination here, just in the demo alone, I witnessed stone statues running, I glued a stone wing onto a parrot so a stone parrot could flap its stone wings, I pulled nails out of boards that were nailed into a stone fence, and I was chased by a stone doberman. After the demo, I did find that the storyline kind of dragged, and didn't have that sense of urgency that was felt in the demo when the statues had not yet made their move, but it was still interesting enough to continue playing. In the Collector's Edition version there are 28 Morphing Objects, and 12 Morphing Talisman's to collect as well as the usual Achievements to earn.
The Hidden Object Scenes are varied, and have done an amazing job of making them somewhat challenging. There are Keywords to find in sentences, Interactive List finds and Silhouetted Shape finds as well.
The Mini Games are very doable, somewhat on the easy side, but again, I didn't find any of the games to be boring. Below are brief descriptions of some of the games you'll encounter during the demo:
1) Swap and rotate square tiles to recreate the image.
2) Open a clasp by matching colors, by clicking two tokens at a time.
3) Restore the picture by selecting one of the 4 hands, then selecting one of the arrows to rotate pieces of the disc, rotating one, may affect others.
4) Swap drawer labels so that they match the combined images of each column and row image.
5) Press musical notes in the correct order by trial and error.
6) Complete the pattern shown by pressing piano keys to toggle the squares off an on.
7) Move amulets along tracks to their matching slots.
8) Select the gold rays in the correct order until all rays have filled the slots.
The Collector's Edition has 5 Music Soundtracks, 20 Achievements to earn, 13 replayable Mini Games, 13 replayable Hidden Object Scenes, 3 Screensavers available, 14 Wallpapers, 16 Concept Art pictures, 12 Morphing Talisman's to collect, 28 Morphing Objects to find, a built in Strategy Guide, and a Bonus Chapter, enjoy!

Your assignment as Commander has brought you to your hometown and Dad couldn't be more proud of you all dressed up in shining armor! The Baron has issued martial law, because a giant basilisk has been selectively petrifying the townsfolk. When the giant lizard turns your very own father into stone, you immediately take action as commander instead of daddy's little girl. Further investigation reveals that your father and a few other men followed questionable orders given to them by the Baron himself, on a hunting trip over 20 years ago. After a rare occurrence of the Black Moon Eclipse, the basilisk was transformed into a bipedal monster by night and by day, takes the form of a human! His gaze turns its victim to stone, with no known reversal cure. To defeat the Basilisk, you must first figure out what happened on that hunting trip, but the answer may not be the answer you want to learn about your dad.
Before dad turned to stone, he gave you an important gift, a weapon he used in the war, and had modified by an alchemist with a powerful gem. The newly forged "Protector" is capable of battling foe, and shielding the innocent, after playing a mini game naturally. I was utterly bored with this game and couldn't wait until the demo ended. I found the graphics to be cartoonish at times, the tasks at hand monotonous and the storyline ridiculous. There was nothing about this game that make me want to play it after the demo.
The Hidden Object Scenes are varied with Multiples of the same item finds, finding Pairs of items that are Associated, and Progressive Interactive Silhouetted Shape finds, some of the HOP's offer a small puzzle or Mini Game. At least this game offers a variety that will suit just about everyone's taste, the scenes are clear and the items are recognizable.
The Mini Games were good, but nothing really impressive. Below are brief descriptions of some of the games you'll encounter during the demo:
1) Select pairs of keys that are connected by the same string to remove.
2) Assemble a mosaic picture offered in a Hidden Object Scene.
3) Shoot the arrow when several bars are in the green zone.
4) Select and place items in the scene where they belong.
5) Select a symbol on the item and then on the Protector until all have been removed. (this game is played each time you use the Protector)
6) Drag the energy ball along the pattern without going outside of the lines. (this game is played each time you use the Protector as well, with different symbol designs)
7) Raise all of the crown tiles by selecting snakes to move along the rails to open and close compartments until all sections of the crown are raised.
8) Press all the keys to move the wheel to the other side. Keys can only be used once, numbers and arrows show distance and direction, wooden knobs adjust the number of moves on blank keys.
9) Pull out the string by selecting the correct holes.
10) Find evidence of the basilisk, according to the clues. Select arrows to move the telescope, move the eye slider to adjust the focus and then select the evidence found.
This Collector's Edition has a Souvenir Room, Skipping Stones Games, 13 replayable Hidden Object Scenes, 23 replayable Puzzles, 19 Videos, 7 Music Soundtracks, 8 Concept pictures, 8 Wallpapers, a Terrarium, 27 Achievements, a built in Strategy Guide and a Bonus Chapter, enjoy!

Got an hour to kill? This may have been an awesome sci-fi book written by Dave Justus, but it makes for a really boring game. You can't even call it a game, because all you do is read sarcastic remarks.
You receive a communication from an astronaut named Taylor, who says his starship crashed on a moon, his location is unknown to him. He doesn't know if anyone else survived, and he has no food or water. The communication is in the form of a long black screen with typewritten texts a couple of sentences each. After Taylor communicates with you, you get to choose from 2 choices of answers. Taylor will ask you for advice on what to do next, and depending on your answer, the game supposedly is based on real time, so it could potentially be a long wait. I chose to have Taylor investigate the crash scene which he estimated to take 30 minutes to get there, and I waited for about 5 minutes, staring at a blank screen, so I exited the game, I'm not waiting for half of the demo to hear back from him!
I don't recommend this game.

Rosabella and Emily Dorner are identical twins who have pursued unidentical lifestyles. Rosabella is a talented musician, Emily chases down Living Legends, but Emily never dreamed she'd have to save her own sister from a Living Legend, a beastly legend! The entire town of Bremen, where Rosabella was performing with three other musicians, has been transformed into beasts by the Mistress of the fog. It doesn't take Emily long to figure out that the musicians are the key to everything, but can Emily resist the fog long enough to save her sister?
I purchased the Collector's Edition of this entertaining fantasy themed game, because each scene has a Morphing Object and a Paper Doll Collectible. Although the cursor doesn't change, I must admit that they aren't very challenging to find which is my only disappointment in this amazing game. You will eventually find an amulet that can neutralize the dark magic curse, and naturally you have to play a Mini Game before using it.
The Hidden Object Scenes are varied with Interactive List finds, Multiples of one item type,and Interactive, Progressive Silhouetted Shape finds, for example. Personally, I really don't care about varieties, I actually prefer the interactive list finds.
The Mini Games are very doable, but that doesn't matter to me either, easy doesn't mean its not fun. Below are brief descriptions of some of the games you'll encounter during the demo:
1) Move blocks to allow the key to enter the lock.in a "blocks" game variation.
2) Recreate the face by swapping tiles then place the magicians where they belong.
3) Restore the key by selecting tiles until the correct image is shown.
4) Restore the fresco by swapping two free tiles and then select the button to change which tiles are covered by moss to complete.
5) Block the cats path on a honeycomb grid to surround him.
6) Remove all tiles from the board by dragging a line of at least 3 identical tiles to remove, repeat 3 different levels.
The Collector's Edition has 22 Achievements to earn, 10 Wallpapers, 4 Screensavers, 12 Concept Art pictures, 25 Collectible Paper Dolls, 25 Morphing Objects, 5 Music Soundtracks, 35 Videos, 21 replayable Mini Games, 16 replayable Hidden Object Scenes, a built in Strategy Guide and a Bonus Chapter, enjoy!

Have you ever watched the movie, The Cell starring JLo? It was a very bizarre movie, and this game has some of the same features as the movie, so I wasn't totally shocked with the MO of the first victim. The Unseen Fears has raised the bar with their first game, Body Thief, it's a really good game, however, it could have been fantastic, but they just had to introduce fantasy creatures and ruin the direction I thought it was taking. I don't mind fantasy creatures, when they are in a fantasy themed game, but I really thought this game was going to be a somewhat realistic game about a deranged serial killer. They could have pushed this game a little further to cross the blurred sugar coated lines, and give us an epic, never been done before genre in the BF gaming world. Why can't they? Why don't they? A simple disclosure to e-sign before downloading or purchasing is all they need to present a rated R intense psychological thriller. If that kind of game is offered, I guarantee sales would go through the roof. So, the bottom line is, this is a good game, but it's really just another game about a paranormal investigator called in to solve a crime. You are given the option to play this game in a sugar coated "dark" version complete with things that go bump in the night, or an even more sugar coated version where everything in the world is good, because that's what you want to believe, that there's no monster under the bed. I chose to see the things that go bump in the night, so far I saw a spider, and a couple of attempts intended to surprise the gamer with a couple of pop up ghosts.
The Amsterdam police have asked for your help to solve what seems to be an unsolvable case. There has been a rash of murders that seems supernatural. All of the victims are void of skin, (and by skin, I mean all tissue because the only thing they show is a skeleton so don't get the heebie jeebies yet) but their clothes remain in tact. Your supernatural ability to see the unseen, is the only way these cases will be solved because these women have been murdered by something very supernatural. You weren't born with this ability, it was given to you as a child, by an archangel, Khepri (or perhaps the mothman) who saved you from drowning. Khepri taught you how to see what no one else could, but he disappeared one day as quickly as he appeared. Perhaps these cases are related to the disappearance of your cherished mentor, perhaps your search for answers lies within this case.
Your Seal is used during the investigation, to activate your supernatural abilities, and see the unseen. Too bad they don't help you "see" the 77 Hidden Symbols throughout the game, because a lot of them are really difficult to "see" but that's a good thing! Your first task is to gather evidence that may help the detective solve the case. I found it kind of funny that you gather the evidence using contaminated tweezers that you found during your investigation. First of all, shouldn't you be wearing gloves? Shouldn't you have come prepared with your own tools?
The Hidden Object Scenes are creative, such as finding the correct objects to ward off your attacker's as described and shown as a Silhouetted Shape. There are also Multiples of Symbols, Silhouetted Shape finds and Zoom Zone listed item finds. You can opt for a Match 3 game instead of the HOP.
The Mini Games are usually presented in several layers, below are brief descriptions of some of the games you'll encounter during the demo:
1) Connect the matching colored tiles without intersecting paths, and the entire honeycomb grid must be filled.
2) Select the facts that correctly connect the murders.
3) Match the victims with the places they were murdered, by placing photos on the crime scene.
4) Place the clues into the correct folders.
5) Find all pairs of symbols by selecting tokens to see the hidden symbols.
6) Rotate groups of tokens until they omit a beam of light.
7) Untangle the threads.
8) Press the button when all blue spheres are in the target zone to shoot.
