DAY 1: All I remember about the flight was seeing a bright green light, the next thing I know, I'm the sole survivor of a plane crash. There's no bodies, no blood, it's as if I were the only one on the plane, but I wasn't alone! I kick into survival mode and search the debris for items that will provide shelter, food and water. Some of these items are tiny and unrecognizable, this can only mean one thing....I must have lost my glasses in the crash. After building a shelter and a firepit, I decide to play a game on my phone, I won't bother trying to send a text or try calling 911 because that's just silly. What a coincidence, the game I'm playing involves trying to keep an airplane flying, not too high I'll get zapped by lightning and crash, not too low, I'll run into the mountains and crash! Surely this game will take my mind off of the horrible situation I'm in!
DAY 2: What a beautiful island I'm on, it's paradise! Time to explore the island for other survivors. But first, I'm going to need to explore the same scene as yesterday because I thought there was a tube of lipstick laying there and it was such a beautiful shade of red, it will go perfect with my new sleeveless red shirt!
DAY 3: Okay, I'm totally bored, I better find a swimsuit at the crash site so I can take a dip in the ocean, hopefully I'll find some sunscreen too!
DAY 4: I found a volleyball today! I'll use that pretty red lipstick to paint a cute little face on it, I will finally have someone to talk to!
I don't recommend this game.

This is a very special day in the Kingdom, it's Princess Daniela's Birthday! As she's opening her presents, a beautiful butterfly pendant catches her eyes, but she has no idea who gave her such a thoughtful gift. No sooner does she adorn the necklace, when everyone begins to feel quite ill, and begin a horrendous transformation into amphibians! It's Swamp Fever! Princess Daniela must travel to the Healer in the swamps to get the elixir formula to save her kingdom before it's too late and everyone she knows and loves becomes a frog permanently. Is the butterfly pendant responsible for the Swamp Fever curse, or is it responsible for saving her life?
This is a stunning fairytale themed adventure with beautiful graphics and a typical fairytale story complete with Kings, Queens, and Princesses,where royalty must find the courage to face their foes and destroy the enemy so the Kingdom can live happily ever after! Naturally, no Princess can face this challenge alone, (can she at least change out of her princess dress?) and she is joined eventually with Dax, a little flying dragon creature of some sort, that can assist Daniela by retrieving items no princess is able to reach, or would ever want too. There are several Plus Sign inventory items that require some type of interaction before using, some of which are small puzzles to piece together others require adding another inventory item to complete. There are 19 Achievements to earn and 12 Morphing Critters located throughout the kingdom. The Butterfly Pendant also allows you to find objects that are magically hidden from sight, when you scan the scene with the butterfly, it will turn from blue to red, allowing you to then click on that object.
The Hidden Object Scenes are very interactive, and pretty decent. There are Interactive List finds, Matching Pairs finds, finding items that match Keywords in a story, Silhouetted Shape finds and even Fragmented Shape finds where you find several fragments that form an object to use back in the scene. The items to find are very well blended, but the items and the scenes are clear and bright.
The Mini Games are exactly what you'd expect in a fairytale game, fun and entertaining but not too difficult in the end. Below are brief descriptions of some of the games you;ll encounter during the demo:
1) Place gems correctly inside the butterfly pendant.
2) Select four segments to complete the image.
3) Swap tokens and rotate them to complete the map images.
4) Arrange the shields to protect the soldiers from the acid rain, followed by finding 10 matching pairs of symbols, flipping over two tokens at a time, followed by Spot 10 differences.
5) Swap books on a shelf so that the images on the spine form a complete picture.
6) Move the pieces to their like colored slots using a spider web as tracks for the tokens. (what a nice spider)
7) Repeat the sequence by clicking the correct symbols in the correct order shown.
8) Place 3 leaves on the holder so that when combined the shapes will match the example shown.
9) Swap the tiles so that when combined, both tokens will match the animal shown, then place fragments correctly inside outline.
10) Toggle the tiles until they all turn green, clicking one tile affects others.
11) Restore the image using arrows on columns and rows to push square tiles up, down, left and right.
This Collector's Edition has 9 Concept Art pictures, 18 Posters, 4 Videos, 1 Music Soundtrack, replayable Puzzles and Mini Games, 19 Achievements, 12 Morphing Creatures, a built in Strategy Guide and a Bonus Chapter, enjoy!
I recommend this game!

Big Fish has introduced another entertaining F2P Match 3 game, Free the Witch! Most of the levels are Limited Moves but there are also Timed levels, and the goal is to swap tiles to make matches of at least 3 identical elements. Large matches or combos will give you bonuses on the board such as a bomb, directional arrows that destroy elements in a particular direction, or a Crystal ball which destroys elements of a single chosen element. Each level introduces new features such as blocked tiles and other obstructions to overcome. There are 26 different Achievements to earn (I'm sure more will be added in due time) but you must go to the Achievement section and click the Achievement you earned to claim the reward.
You are given quests or goals to complete so that you can make your way through magic land and free all of the caged witches who have been kidnapped. There are bosses to battle just before you come across a witch, and you need to collect spellbooks and magical charms during the Match 3 games to defeat them. You start out with 3 lives, and as you progress, you will find treasure chests that contain rewards of coins, bonuses and other goodies that help you beat the levels.
You earn coins for each level you win, which can be used in the shop to purchase bonus boosts, extra lives and other various packages. Some of those items require real money, others can be purchased with the coins you earn if you are patient enough. If you run out of resources, you can replay any of the levels two more times, each time you replay a level, it becomes more difficult, but the rewards are higher each time. When you complete all 3 rounds of a level, you will gain VIP status and earn a Jade ticket which can be used for a chance to purchase valuable assets that can only be purchased with these tickets. Like most F2P games, there is a lottery wheel you can spin for more goodies but you can only spin the wheel at specific intervals.
Free to Play games are very addictive, which is why they are so successful, because most players don't want to wait for extra lives or to earn coins and bonuses. If you are patient, you can truly play this game forever for free, otherwise this F2P game could potentially cost you some real live moola, enjoy!
I recommend this game!

This is a Match 2 type of Solitaire game, which is basically a Mahjong style card game with an Egyptian theme. There's nothing different, no unique features, everything is exactly the same, exactly as the last Match 2, the same as the one before that and the one before that. They take the game and change the background and music and say, ta dah! and then offer it as a new game. I will admit that this is my least favorite type of solitaire game, I prefer the Higher/Lower type solitaire game which is more entertaining because you can make large chains and keep going until you run out of cards.
The object with this game is to remove all Golden Cards to receive a perfect score, there's no need to remove all the cards from the board, just the Gold cards, which is more difficult than you'd think. Some cards are Bonus Cards which give you +499 coins, a free Shuffle or a free Mulligan. These same bonuses can be purchased with the coins you earn playing the game.
There are 9 different card backs and 3 face card options to choose from. You can play the game in Newbie, which allows you to replay any level, or Pro, which only allows you to replay the entire pack. There are 12 different packs, and each pack has 10 levels. If you receive a perfect score, the points from that game are added to the next level, similar to bowling. Each level requires you to score a specific amount of points to unlock the next pack.
This isn't a horrible solitaire game, it's just a boring style of solitaire that offers nothing new and there are no incentives to make this an, "I've gotta have it" kind of game.
I don't recommend this game.

Ahoy, matey! Batten down the hatches, landlubbers, that scallywag Edmund Rich, the captain of the Black Armada will attack any minute now! Avast! and shiver me timbers, everyone knows a Privateer when they sees one, and that blasted Armada's carrying nuten but yellow bellied hornswagglers! All hands hoya, it's time to powder the monkeys or else ye be feeding the fish...aarrr, thar she blows!
I got carried away with all the excitement of this entertaining pirate themed Time Management game, but don't ye be fretting lads, there's plenty of buried treasure booty on this here adventure, once ye remove the sand and rocks that be blocking yer way that is. Most levels have buried treasures and artifacts to find, and the feature that makes this TM game so unique is that there are several islands that require you to first repair or build docks, and then row your boat to the island to search for treasures, resources, food and even bonuses. There are even resources floating on the shoreline and fish to catch for food to serve the hungry pirates.
You are given several tasks to complete at the beginning of each level and you can earn up to three golden Jolly Rogers. Any level can replayed to try for a better score, and you can play in a Timed or Relaxed mode. The Collector's Edition and the Standard Edition both offer 10 Achievements to earn, both editions have 10 valuable Artifacts to find, the only difference I can see is that the CE has Wallpapers and a Strategy Guide. As you progress, you level up and get to choose an upgrade in percentages, speedier repairs, extra workers, more resources etc.
This is a fantastic Time Management game and it's really a lot of fun, however, I'm not sure there's enough extra in the CE, so in my opinion, unless you need a Strategy Guide and really want a few Wallpapers, this Standard Edition is the better value, enjoy mates!
I recommend this game!

Jeronimo had put his days as a thief behind him, and is content running an honest Tavern for the locals. That was all fine and dandy, until his baby sister Ellie fell terminally ill. There's only one hope for a cure, an elixir potion heavily guarded by a vicious forest witch, and she has no intention of sharing! Jeronimo will have to come out of retirement and steal the formula from the evil witch, this won't be an easy job, but after all, Jeronimo was the best thief Rockville has ever seen and earned him the nickname "Safe Cracker"
I actually loved the first Midnight Calling too, I just wished this was a continuation of the original story, Midnight Castle. This is an easy game, but sometimes that's okay and makes for a relaxing afternoon! The graphics could be better (hand drawn instead of computer generated) and the mechanics of the game are a bit slow and clunky, as are the voiceovers which are horrible, picture a foreign movie with english dubbed over it, the lips move for 5 minutes, and then the voice chimes in, but oh well, it's just a game. There are plenty of Achievements as well as Hidden Cards, Morphing Objects and Coins that can be used to buy all your little forest friends their favorite snacks at the forest's edge. Yes, you get a cutsie little helper, actually, you get two cutsie helpers but no one's counting right?
The Hidden Object Scenes are okay, nothing to write home about but nothing horrible either. There are mostly Silhouetted Shape finds but there are also tiny Zoom Zone HOP's where you find 4 or 5 fragments to make one complete item.
The Mini Games are easy, some are really quick, some more lengthy, but again, sometimes you need no brainer puzzles just to have fun without the overload. Below are brief descriptions of some of the games you'll encounter during the demo:
1) Rotate tiles to complete the image by clicking on the center of each circle section.
2) Place the symbols on the correct rows based on the images they're associated with by swapping them.
3) Select the shield when the circle is on it block. Then attack by pressing the bottom disk when the arrows are in the green area.
4) Using the crystals, color the marks on the head based on their matching shapes.
This Collector's Edition has 10 Wallpapers, 10 Concept Art pictures, 4 Music Soundtracks, 24 Achievements, 1 Screensaver, a Secret Room, Morphing Objects, Hidden Cards, Hidden Coins to use at the Forest Edge, a built in Strategy Guide and a Bonus Chapter, enjoy!

Imagine a world without laughter and without joy. Now imagine a world without pain without suffering, without crime without hatred. This is the world Frederick had envisioned, a world with no emotions, bad or good. A world where no one had to suffer or feel pain, a world where everyone was equal. Together with the help of Susanna, a rogue agent from The Curio Society (again using an antique shop for cover) Frederick's dreams will come true now that this dynamic duo has a powerful artifact in their possession! This artifact is capable of amplifying the effects of anything it is applied to, including the Anti-Emotion Potion that renders its users emotionless! You must join the forces of the resistance to stop Frederick's nefarious plans, after all, Leroy Johnson, the man responsible for creating the potion as well as the antidote, formed the resistance together with his wife, Alice. Can you stop Frederick from creating the Not So Perfect Emotionless World in time?
I wasn't impressed with the first game in this series, and I'm certainly not impressed with this middle of the road game either. Both games offer nothing new or exciting, both games seem a bit lame in my opinion. The Collector's Edition version offers a whopping 32 Achievements to earn making it nearly impossible to make a move without earning one. The CE also offers two icons above the inventory bar that will indicate whether or not that scene has a Morphing Object and or a Collectible Rorschach Card, some scenes contain one of each, some scenes only have one or the other and some scenes have neither. You will also find Medical Profiles in the CE that describe different emotions such as Apathy or Euphoria. At the beginning of the game you will be given a journal with available Tasks, and throughout the game you'll find Journal Notes that are automatically added to your journal, this feature is available in both the Collector's and Standard Edition's. In my opinion none of these "extras" are actually hidden or difficult to find, they're just sitting in plain view within the scenes and present no challenge whatsoever.
The Hidden Object Scenes are okay, again nothing new or remotely creative. There are the usual Progressive Interactive Silhouetted shape finds, Silhouetted Shape finds requiring several of the same items, Morphing Object Finds, and items that match the Keywords in each paragraph. The only one I thought was unusual had a switch that turned on a blacklight and panned to the rear of the scene, switching back to the front of the scene with a dimly lit regular light.
The Mini Games are okay, but once again I feel they lack imagination and creativity, they all seem to be variations of choosing correctly because choosing one affects others. Below are brief descriptions of some of the games you'll encounter during the demo:
1) Restore the portrait by swapping pie shaped sections.
2) Click on typewriter keys with fingerprints in the correct sequence.
3) Use levers to rotate rows of test tubes to position the correct colored liquids above the tubes, rotating one row affects others.
4) Find matching pairs of symbols by flipping over two tokens at a time. If you fail to make a match, the tokens will swap.
5) Follow the recipe in the correct sequence.
6) Restore the image using arrows to adjust rows.
7) Flip switches to open the central cache, flipping one switch may affect others.
8) Locate objects in the picture mentioned in the story and click to adjust the images to match.
9) Glide the slider from the far left to the lower right passing through every one of the gears one time only.
The Collector's Edition has 32 Achievements to earn, 12 Wallpapers, 10 Concept Art pictures, 5 Music Soundtracks, 10 Collectible Rorschach Cards for a Personality Test, Collectible Medical Profiles and Journal Notes, 15 Morphing Objects, an Archive Room, a built in Strategy Guide and a Bonus Chapter.

Alexandra hasn't heard from Uncle Paul for a few days so she decides to pay him a visit at the Antique Shop. Uncle Paul's nowhere in sight, and you get the feeling something's very wrong. Your instincts serve you right when a thug appears out of nowhere demanding you give him the book you just picked up. After gathering your wits and composure, you do a little snooping around the shop, hoping to find some sort of clue that will shed light upon this dark situation. What you discover is that Paul Anderson's Antique Shop is no ordinary shop, and his antiques are no ordinary antiques. Some of Uncle Paul's antiques are actually very powerful artifacts, so powerful that they require "Keepers" to protect them from those who seek their powers!
I don't know about you, but I will be a little leary about visiting antique shops in the future because apparently, nothing ever goes well inside them! This is a new series that seems to have a lot going for it, decent graphics, and flawless mechanics above all else. This Collector's Edition has a ton of extra features, Achievements to earn for each milestone, 33 Morphing Objects, 36 Memories of the Past Jigsaw Puzzle pieces that allow you to assemble the puzzles to learn more of the storyline and use as Wallpapers, and 33 different Hidden Collectibles in 5 different categories, Gramophone records, Galaxy's, Portraits, Horn of Plenty and Cages with Birds, most of which are creatively blended into each scene. Seem's Uncle Paul collects some unusual items, one of which is Spark, a Fire Salamander that will be your sidekick in this adventure and help out by shedding some light to the dark and of course, giving you a "spark" of flame when you need it the most. I really wish that sidekicks would stay in the genre they belong (fantasy themes) when you are playing a game that is trying to remain realistic yet supernatural, it would be nice to have a lighter and a multi purpose tool that I hang onto for the whole game.
The Hidden Object Scenes are varied and multi layered with Interactive List finds, finding items that match Keywords in a story, and Silhouetted Shape finds, most of which have interactive puzzles within to make them more entertaining. There are several Zoom Zone HOP's where you find 5 items scattered around the room such as stereo parts, instruments or gears.
The Mini Games range from super simple quickies to multi-layered puzzles. Below are brief descriptions of some of the games you'll encounter during the demo:
1) Select pairs of orange symbols on the outside of the picture that comprise the blue symbols shown in the center.
2) Select badges in the correct sequence as demonstrated.
3) Select plates to flip to reveal an image, selecting one affects others, when all sections have been flipped, swap sections to complete the image.
4) Spot the differences between two pictures.
5) Keep the target reticle in the center of the green circle until it reaches the umbrella target.
This Collector's Edition has 9 Wallpapers, 11 Concept Art pictures, 3 Screensavers, 4 Music Soundtracks, 12 Achievements, 26 Hidden Object Scenes, 26 Mini Games, 33 Hidden Collectibles, 36 hidden Jigsaw Puzzle pieces, 33 Morphing Objects, a built in Strategy Guide and a Bonus Chapter, enjoy!

The pets of Petsville are lost! After getting whisked away by a tornado (contrary to the games description of a hurricane, it sure looked like a tornado to me) these adorable pets are stranded in the middle of nowhere and need help getting home. I do however, find the game a bit ironic, how does it help to get them home if you're destroying them with lightning and bombs?
This is a Chain type Match 3 game where you click and drag a chain of identical pets to remove them, I mean send them home. This is my least favorite type because it makes the game way too easy, but this one's designed to be a relaxing game that appeals to the entire family. You have three options of modes to choose from, Relaxed, Limited Time or Limited Moves. I played this game in Limited Moves which gives you a Bonus of earning a color coded Foot which adds 7 moves when used in a match of the same color. In Limited Time mode you can earn a Time Bonus which adds 30 seconds to the timer. There is a Magic Hand that will remove a group of pets of your choice when filled, and a Shuffle feature that will shuffle the icons once filled. If you don't use these features, it will continue to grow and become more powerful on future levels.
The goal on every level is to destroy the stones that are under some of the honeycomb shaped cells. Some tiles have Slabs that require two matches upon them, and there are Blocked Pet Tiles, Frozen Tiles etc. that require a match adjacent to them to break or the use of a bonus to destroy. You will earn bonuses on the board when you make large matches such as:
Rainbow Pet- can be used in any chain match and is earned with matches of 5 or more pets.
Bombs- bombs are color coded and will destroy several tiles when matched with the same color pet and is earned with matches of 6.
Lightning- color coded lightning removes 9 random pets of the same color across the board and is earned with matches of 8.
Star- this causes an explosion when included in a chain and is earned when you make a match of 9 pets.
Directional- this bonus will destroy tiles in a diagonal or vertical pattern and is earned when you match 4 or more tiles in a straight line.
If you're looking for a fast paced and challenging game, this game will NOT float your boat, but if you want to play a cute game that will pass some time without frustration, you WILL like this game, enjoy!
I recommend this game!

Remember how exciting the very first Sea of Lies game was. The storyline was so different than all of the other games, and took place either at sea or on the coastline with lots of pirates and seafaring mates. The dialect was convincing as was the time period props and wardrobe. I really thought this series was going to be one of my all time favorites, however, Sea of Lies was releasing a new game every time you'd turn around it seemed like, and I began to notice a change. Sea of Lies distanced themselves away from the one thing that set this series apart from all the other genre's, the Pirates! They weren't about treachery and mutiny on the high seas, nobody walked the plank, why? Because there was no plank to walk, most of the games weren't even taking place on a ship, some barely mentioned a ship and even then, there were no pirates.
Finally! I think Leviathan Reef will be Sea of Lies' saving grace, with it's beautiful graphics and fantastic pirate flare, I'm not going to complain about a single thing! The Collector's Edition version has 41 Hidden Messages in a Bottle, and some of the scenes have a Morphing Object as indicated by the icons above the inventory bar, features I happen to love so I personally prefer the Collector's Edition over this Standard Edition.
The Hidden Object Scenes vary with just about every style, Interactive List Finds, Progressive Interactive, Silhouetted Shapes and even Sketches, my favorite takes place on the shoreline where you are tasked with finding multiples of each item, new items wash onto the shore with each ebb of the tide, pretty creative if you ask me. The Mini Games are all pirate themed or nautical themed as well, rotating tokens until all images are in their correct habitat or swapping tiles to complete a pirates map.
The Collector's Edition has 18 replayable Hidden Object Scenes, 25 replayable Puzzles, replayable Match 3 games, 14 Wallpapers, 14 Concept Art pictures, 41 Hidden Messages in a Bottle, 17 Achievements, 9 Music Soundtracks, 9 Videos, a Tribute Video, a Souvenir Room, 18 Morphing Objects, a built in Strategy Guide and a Bonus Chapter, enjoy all ye scallywags!
I recommend this game!
