Susan has once again been thrust through a time portal, to the Lost Lands of the Druids. With the issues of the Four Horsemen behind her, she learns that Maaron, (no longer a hermit) needs Susan's help dealing with petrified demons that are somehow reviving, causing his village and his people a great deal of suffering, now that he has become the Druid Guild Elder. A half bird, half human Harpy demon has just attacked the village, inflicting massive poisonous wounds with its razor sharp talons, but why? Maaron's granddaughter teams up with Susan on this Lost Lands adventure, a curious and defiant girl, with a knowledge of the land, proves to be invaluable because she knows these forbidden lands better than anyone. Susan must travel to the forbidden Mount Bashear to discover the truth behind the attacks by the petrified demons. She must also find the strength to resist touching any of the cursed gold, or risk being petrified, never to return home from the Lost Lands!
I have always loved this up and coming series, that's quickly finding its place as one of the favorites with many gamers. The graphics are always top notch, the storyline is always interesting, and the characters are very realistic and likeable. Although there's no custom difficulty mode in The Golden Curse, you can adjust most of the settings within the Easy, Normal or Hard modes. Many of the inventory items are complex items requiring some type of interaction before the items can be used such as combining that item with another inventory item, or solving a quick puzzle of some sort. There are 28 Manuscript pages to discover throughout the game that will be added to your journal that gives us insight to some of the inhabitants or cultures of the Lost Lands. The Collector's Edition has features available that this Standard Edition doesn't have such as, 22 available Achievements to earn, and a ton of Collectibles, which will unlock mini games and puzzles in the CE extras. Besides the 28 Manuscript Pages, there are 24 Figurines,14 Satchels, 22 Gold orbs, 20 Dice, 22 Coins, to find and 35 Morphing Objects. There is also a section within the "extras" to take a quiz on the knowledge you've retained of the game.
The Hidden Object Scenes are decent, although they are a bit scarce with only seven HOP's total throughout all five chapters and bonus chapter! The HOP's available in the demo, however are very entertaining, with not so easy puzzles. You have to find items that match the silhouetted shape shown, and then use those items within several zoom zone areas as you are tasked with mixing up a special recipe, and there is even a zoom zone puzzle where you find identical matches.
At least there are plenty of Mini Games, which in my opinion is what makes or breaks a game. There are 25 Mini Games in total. Below is a list of brief descriptions of the games you will come across during the demo:
1) Play a xylophone in the correct order using a diagram.
2) Place different shaped brackets to guide a ball to several different chutes.
3) Restore the image on a wall by placing broken pieces.
The Collector's Edition has 8 Wallpapers, 33 Concept Art Pictures, 23 Movie Videos, 8 Music Soundtracks, 25 replayable Mini Games, 7 replayable Hidden Object Games, 22 Achievements, Several Collectibles that unlock features, 35 Morphing Objects, 24 hidden Figurines, a game Quiz, a built in Strategy Guide and a Bonus Chapter, enjoy!
I recommend this game!

This may be a final Final Cut with a mind boggling Who-dun-it mystery as you are landed smack dab in the middle of Detective Bernard's ongoing investigation. Bernard got his hands upon the famous projector that has practically ruined the dysfunctional Wolf family, only this one's small and portable and is capable of changes anyone's appearance! What a perfect way to ruin your competition, Horizon Studios!
This edition of Final Cut isn't spectacular, perhaps it's just time to lay the story to rest and move on. I know many gamers love the golden hues with slightly grainy graphics to give the game a touch of reality and make it seem as if it were an older film. They have even attempted to use this to their advantage with some of the cutscenes with a deliberate film reel effect, but I prefer the crisp virtual reality of computer generated graphics. Many of the inventory items you collect will have plus signs indicating the need for further investigation, like combining that item with another. You are equipped with the Projector Camera that can be used to change your appearance temporarily to look like another person, which requires a simple mini game of focusing the camera and then outlining key focal points. (can I change my appearance to look like thing other than people?) There are 41 Collectible Signs that actually look like a face, Several Achievements to earn, and even collectible Candy Canes and Christmas Stockings which unlock HOP's and Puzzles from Final Cut: Homage CE and Final Cut: Fame Fatale CE.
The Hidden Object Scenes are fairly decent, some of which have a Morphing Object to find within. There are Multiple's of objects, Silhouetted Shape finds, Interactive List finds, and items to find that will give you an item that is used to unlock the texted list finds, there are even HOP's where you find items that match the descriptive riddles given. You can switch to a Match 3 game if you're not into Hidden Object Puzzles.
The Mini Games were simple, and easy to solve, below is a list with brief descriptions of some of the puzzles you will come across in the demo:
1) Arrange cards so they match the photos shown on an evidence board, using the color coded pins as a reference.
2) Focusing a camera lens and outlining a face in a single line that doesn't overlap.
3) Press directional arrows to move a ball from one magnet to another until it reaches the indicated hole.
This Collector's Edition has 16 Morphing Objects within the HOP's, 18 replayable Puzzles, Collectible Christmas Stockings that unlock additional Puzzles from Fame Fatale CE, a Souvenir Room, 17 replayable HOP's, Collectible Candy Canes that unlock additional HOP's from Homage CE, 41 Collectible hidden Signs, 5 Music Soundtracks, 12 Concept Art pictures, 8 Wallpapers, 16 Videos, a Tribute Video, 15 Achievements, a built in Strategy Guide and a Bonus Chapter, enjoy!

Royal Jigsaw has returned for a fourth time, with 5 different boxes containing 200 puzzles each for a total of 1000 puzzles ranging from 12-280 pieces (more if you modify the pieces!) There are gorgeous pictures of castles from around the world, knights in shining armor, antiques, jewelry, landscapes, horses, luxury interiors, and of course, royal people, a puzzle to please just about every puzzle geek out there! These puzzles have a unique option that allows you to "modify" any puzzle, allowing you to choose the cut of the puzzle from straight pieces to slanted, how many pieces you want and whether the pieces can be rotated or not. There is a section for top scores, and you can save the progress on partially completed puzzles. Each puzzle has a box in the top left which allows you to store some of the puzzle pieces to give you more room on the board, Each puzzle has options such as showing the image of the picture at x1, x2, or x3, or you can ghost the image on the background which also has the option of pale green, blue, pink or yellow backgrounds. You can choose the border pieces only and when the border is complete, the rest of the pieces will automatically appear and those pieces can be sorted as well. There is a hint button and a magnifying glass feature so get your Royal Jigsaw on and put together a virtual puzzle, enjoy!

Saint Germain spent the last five years of his life searching for the cure to his terminal illness. He sought a cure from every doctor, every healer, every medicine man, and even voodoo priests, from every corner of the globe, but nobody could cure him. He began wandering through the desert, depressed and ready to give up when he met a man dying of thirst. St. Germain gave the man his water, and in return the grateful man told him of a house that could cure him, the house that contains The Secret of Life. This is the house that has made Haunted Legends famous, this is THE haunted house, the house no ones survives in long enough to talk about it's secrets. To gain the knowledge of The Secret Of Life, you will have to perform a Purification Ritual on a cursed soul, this is your last chance......RUN FOR IT!
You of course aren't the only one interested in this house, when you arrive, there are three other healers that have been hired to perform a Purification Ritual, and everyone thinks you are one of those healers. To find the Secret of Life, you will have to spend three nights in this legendary haunted house, and survive! Throughout the game you will Collect Symbols, once they are all found you will be able to use them during the purification process. The Collector's Edition has Achievements available to earn, as well as Morphing Objects (my favorite feature of all time) and Collectible pieces of Cake.
The Hidden Object Scenes are varied, there are scenes where you find items that match the keywords in each paragraph, as well as listed item finds, There aren't many HOP, but there are a ton of Mini Games to make up for it.
Below are brief descriptions of some of the Mini Games you will encounter:
1) Pull all levers down, some effect others.
2) Match identical patterns on butterflies.
3) Swap gems to match color combo sample.
4) Complete the image by rotating parts correctly.
5) Complete the image by sliding chips to the correct slots.
The Collector's Edition has 10 replayable Mini Games, Endless HO's, 20 replayable HO's and Bonus HO's, 17 Movies, Morphing Objects, Collectibles, Wallpapers, Concept Art, Photos, Random Facts, Haunted Legends Facts, 6 Screensavers, Match Cats, Music, St. Germains Weekly Planner, Grandma's Recipes, Achievements, a built in Strategy Guide and a Bonus Chapter, enjoy!

I get it. It's just a game and it's all make believe, so no game is meant to be taken seriously, but come on. You saved the neighbors baby from a burning house, so a mysterious man in a fedora and cloak, hands you a business card, with little information other than your heroic deed qualified you for a position in their secret society, The Curio Society! Of course we show up to the undercover society building disguised as an antiquity shop and a woman resembling the detective from New York Mysteries greets you and welcomes you to the "society" I must now prove my worthiness, (probably for the HR dept) I find several items in a HOP, play a simple Mini Game, and viola! I've just nailed this interview, I'm a full fledged agent.....where's my gargoyle cannon?!? It gets better, I discover a "special" suitcase that can tell me everything I want to know about anything and everything (technically only things that will fit into the suitcase) after solving a quick jigsaw variation puzzle, the suitcase spits out a polaroid picture. So that tells me nothing about the item, I put in a gargoyle figurine, and I get a picture of an angel figurine in return. I thought it was supposed to tell me everything about that object. Oh well, good thing I recognized the angel statue as the same angel statue hanging on the wall of the Curio Society, so I place the picture upon the statue and low and behold, my ride has just been activated! Is it a sweet batmobile? Nope, it's a Hot Air Balloon! Do I arrive at my destination in time to save the world? Who knows how long it's gonna take on this puppy, do I even know how to operate one of these? The answer is no, because I have to make a crash landing, luckily, it landed me smack dab in the middle of Mesina, exactly where I needed to be(which btw I was able to find with my handy constellation map, good thing it was nighttime) helping Lara Croft rid the world of gargoyles with a diamond fueled cannon! (why didn't I get one of those, did I not pass the same test, are we not Cirio Brethren? ) Let's fast forward to the evil dude Ignotus, with an evil agenda, who glides through the air just like Peter Pan with one leg slightly bent. This guy is as scary as it get's, after all he was the most powerful magicians of Ancient Rome, and he's got a thing for gargoyles. For whatever reason, he chooses only gargoyle statues to bring to life. Did ancient Romans even know what a gargoyle was, wouldn't it make more sense to work his evil magic on that lion statue?
I totally agree with fellow reviewer kateblue (who btw, seems to have a great sense of humor as well) I too started to play this game when it was released, quit after a few minutes, then had to start all over when I sat down to finish the game a few days later because nothing about the game was memorable, I have no desire to purchase this game, there's nothing to set this game apart from all the other games, archaeologists mistakenly awaken an ancient evil magician, evil magician brings statues to life to help him conquer the modern world, average joe is the only person who can stop him etc etc etc, it's a no go for me, and this game should be kept at the bottom of Santa's list.
I don't recommend this game.

It's Christmas Evening, not a creature was stirring, except for that cute cuddly kitten shivering on your doorstep! Aaahh, but magic is in the air, and you soon find out that Simon is no ordinary cat, he is one of Santa's helpers, he can talk, he can walk just like you and I, and he needs help saving Christmas! A thief has stolen the Magic Christmas star in Catstown, without the star, the magic of Christmas won't happen!
Christmas Stories has delivered a purrfect game this year. Puss-In-Boots will tug at your heartstrings and engulf you in a fantastical storyline, like a good book, you won't be able to stop until the very end. My only complaint, is with the graphics, although they are decent, they are nowhere near the quality of the Nutcracker eye candy. Simon will join you on your investigation to nab the star thief, and proves himself invaluable when it comes to retrieving items only a cat could accomplish. There are Snowflakes above some inventory items, indicating some type of interaction is required before the item can be used, some of which involve solving a puzzle of some sort. There are 12 Morphing Objects that morph between a cat and a mouse, and there are 36 Hidden Puzzle pieces that will create 3 different Screensavers once completed.
The Hidden Object Scenes cover just about every different type, Interactive List finds, Multiples of each item finds, Silhouetted Shape finds, finding items that match keywords in a story, and even scenes that require you to pick up items from the inventory bar and place them into the scene where they belong.
The Mini Games are a delight, however, they are all really easy to complete, but keep in mind that Christmas Stories games are intended for family fun, a game that can be enjoyed by young and old. Below are brief descriptions of some of the games you will encounter:
1) Find pairs of matching constellations in three sections.
2) Put torn photo fragments together.
3) Select ring sections and use directional arrows to complete an ornament.
4) Spot the Difference between a photo and the scene.
5) Throw snowballs when the indicator is in the green zone.
6) Use weights to move clock hands to the correct time.
7) Move a feather duster around to clear dust.
8) Color the image to match it's twin.
9) Guide a ball through a maze using directional arrows in an allotted amount of moves.
10) Press cash register buttons in the correct order by trial and error.
11) Use a Looking Glass to find tools hidden in each scene.
This Collector's Edition has 24 Achievements, 12 Morphing Objects, 3 Screensavers, 36 hidden Jigsaw Puzzle Pieces, a Secret Room, 17 Concept Art pictures, 15 Wallpapers, 5 Music Soundtracks, a built in Strategy Guide and a Bonus Chapter, enjoy!

The first game in this series was introduced in 2012, which makes you wonder why it's not a spectacular Time Management game with all that time to inbetween. The graphics are bland and not very appealing, and there are several misspelled words which for the life of me I can't understand why, don't they have spellchecker available, or at least someone who can give it a quick proof read? However, there are a few features that I think are fantastic. I love the factoids that are given at the beginning of each level about China, and the Great Wall of China, which is a feature I've only seen done in the Monument Builders series. Another feature I think is awesome is the option to deposit some of your resources into the Caravan, which will carry over to the next level! There are 16 Artifacts to collect and 49 Achievements to earn throughout the 40 levels, and you can choose Relaxed or Normal modes of difficulty. The tutorial is excellent so even if you aren't familiar with this type of game, you will be walked through the basics of the game and know how to play it with no problem.
This is a typical Time Management game where you must collect resources such as food, wood, stone, gold, and coal, but the goal is to build the Great Wall of China, sections at a time. A feature not so typical is that you must purchase Upgrades with the money you earn, before it will be available within the game itself. For example, you must go into the upgrades section and purchase the Main Camp upgrade before the start of the next level. Once you start that level, you will still have to acquire enough resources to upgrade the Main Camp within that level, if you haven't purchased the upgrade requirement, you will not be able to upgrade it within the level, the upgrade requirement will stay in effect, but you will still need to upgrade the main camp during the next level.
There are several buildings that can be upgraded, such as:
-Main Camp (extra workers)-Farms (produce more food)-Quarry (produces more stone)-Fisherman's Hut (produces food)-Sawmills (produce wood)- Gold and Coal Mines (produce gold and coal)-Caravans and Storehouses (store supplies for the next level) and Monk's Hut (only for Monks)
I love the factoids that tell you things you probably never knew, like the fact that China invented the first suspension bridge in 25 B.C. which was 1800 years before it was first used in the West. In my opinion, the graphics could have been better but it's a decent TM game, enjoy!
I recommend this game!

This is a different kind of puzzle game, where you choose the correct tile image that goes into the section of puzzle that is outlined. At first, there are only a handful of tiles to choose from, but as you progress, more tiles are added to choose from and the tiles become smaller. If you place the correct tile immediately you receive 100 points, but the longer it takes you to find the correct tile, the less points you will receive. If you choose the wrong tile, that tile will be removed from the selection and the mistake meter on the right side of the screen will slide down a notch, if it reaches the bottom of the meter, it's game over and you will have to start over. The goal on all 90 levels is to achieve a 3 star rating. I have only played a couple of puzzle games like this, and my only complaint is that the pictures aren't very interesting, and many of the tiles are dark which makes it very difficult to know where to place that tile. If you don't like fast paced, race against the clock puzzles, you won't like this game, because I didn't see an option anywhere that lets you play this game in a relaxed mode. If you're okay with a timer, this game will be quite addicting for you, enjoy!
I recommend this game!

What a cool puzzle game this is, I'm going to have to download the last one of this series to see if it's just as fun. This is a simple game that blends two different types of games together, Tetris and Pipes. There are 55 levels as well as a Tutorial level, and the instructions are very clear and easy to understand. The goal on all levels is to connect the light tubes (clear pipes) from one light source to the other without any "leaks" or openings between. The light tubes come in different shapes such as straight tubes, T's, 4 ways, elbows and caps. Any tube can be rotated, swapped or moved to an open cell. Some of the tiles will have timers, which slowly outlines a cell, when it completely outlines a cell, a new tube will appear. You can speed up that process by clicking on a timer cell for an immediate tube. If you don't complete the lamp before all cells are filled, you will have to start the level over, and naturally, the further you progress, the quicker the cells fill and the harder it becomes to receive the good tubes that you can use. There are Bonuses to earn such as Lightning which will remove a tube of your choice, an Hourglass which freezes the timer cells for 1 minute or a Crystal Ball which shows you a preview of the next tube to appear. In order to unlock new levels, you must earn enough Stars. The only way to get stars are to route the tubes so that they land on cells with a star, which is usually far away from the direct path. I found this game to be a yin yang kind of game, it's easy yet hard, simple yet complicated, relaxing yet frustrating, but above all it's fun and entertaining, enjoy!
I recommend this game!

To be perfectly honest, I only played about 15 minutes of this game, which was more than enough time to figure out this game wasn't for me. I usually like battle type games, but this game seemed to have no rhyme or reason and the numerous dialog boxes were pointless. Your main character is Lily who seems to have some pretty bizarre dreams. She cries out for her mother and father but soon realizes that she has magic powers, she's better off without them, and a battle ensues. I choose to use the tutorial which took me through a few pages of explanation of the mechanics of the game and which keys to use as hotkeys, but no real explanation of what my goals are or what I'm supposed to do in order to win this battle. When you are faced with a battle, you can choose to Fight or Escape. Each character has both health and magic and the goal seems to be to defeat the enemy by depleting him of health while retaining your own health. If you choose to "fight" there are four available actions to choose from, each move requires you to choose one of these actions for each character. You can ATTACK to deal physical damage, SKILL allows you to use magic or a particular skill against the enemy, ITEM allows you to use various items within your inventory, or DEFEND which causes less damage on you character. I had to guide Lily to an icon on an oval stained glass picture, and after choosing one of the items I was asked if I wanted to use that item. I had no idea what the item was used for and why, nor did I have any clue as to what the other available items actually did. Then you guide her to the top of the picture to a spinning portal which took me to another stained glass picture with yet another few items to choose, and another portal. Between each portal was the credits sections so you had no choice but to read the credits one section at a time! If this review sounds confusing, check out the game and see what confusion is all about!
I don't recommend this game.
