Clutter has returned with a whole lot of junk! I still find this game fascinating after five episodes, everything seems the same yet I love searching through the enormous piles of junk to find the matching pairs (and sometimes similar item matches)
It's a pretty simple game, you have to find a specific number of matches in a pile of clutter, the matches go onto a conveyor belt, and you have to find all matching items within a specific amount of conveyor belt revolutions. As you progress, more clutter is added and the clutter is denser and deeper, and more items are added that look similar but are different such as a bright red apple vs. a slightly less red apple. Every game also has letters, coins and puzzle pieces that you collect with a single click, for every five coins you collect, you get an extra hint, and the puzzle pieces and letters are used to complete a mini game at the end of the level. Finding matches quickly will earn bonus points, double and triple points, but finding the matching items isn't always so easy. The items are of different sizes, and most are partially hidden, sometimes it's difficult to find matches of items that are right in front of you! At the end of each round, your score is tallied with the bonus points you earned, the points you earned finding letters and coins, the amount of time left over and it even gives you points and percentages from your clicking accuracy. Most of the Mini Games are variations of jigsaw puzzles, such as sliders sections, jigsaw, and even square tiles, but the fun is actually in the clutter, enjoy!

Lost Amulets is one of the most interesting and entertaining Mahjong games I've ever played. The graphics are stunning, colorful and crystal clear, the tiles are actually round stones which are way better visually than the usual Mahjong tiles. The game itself has a unique style that keeps your interest because you clear the board by making matches with the stones shown at the bottom. Some of the stones have several available matching stones, and you can keep collecting them for double, triple, quadruple points. If you collect the Gold stones, you win the game even if other stones remain.
Each level has Jade Pearls underneath the stones that you can collect and use to purchase Power-ups. The Hint icon will cost a single pearl, the Shuffle icon costs 2 pearls, and there are Fire power-ups, one of them removes 10 stones and costs 4 pearls the other removes 15 stones and costs 5 pearls each time it is used. There is also a Kitty of good fortune stone that will appear at random times that allows you to match any stone or stones with him. There are several tile options to choose from, and even a Random tile option that goes through all of them, Flowers and Animals, Mixed Tiles, Traditional, Icon tiles, Rainbow tiles, and Number tiles. You can also choose to add specific colors to the tiles to make it easier to match.
You can play the game in a Relaxed or Timed mode, and there is a Traditional Mahjong game with traditional tiles called Zen Mahjong that will be unlocked after a few short levels in the Main story mode. I loved the Mini Games that are available after each set, you can choose which game you want to play or spin the wheel and take your chances. BINGO was my favorite, this is played with numbered tiles on a bingo board with different colored number tiles. The balls with numbers travel down the right side and bottom in a Zuma style and it backs up with every number you match, otherwise the numbers will eventually travel off the screen and become unavailable. There is a MEMORY game where you uncover two stones at a time and match identical images. A MATCHING game where you have to choose the only available matching symbols on three different boards. The last available mini game is the TILING game but I ran out of time before getting to play this game but I'm assuming it's probably a traditional timed game of Mahjong. Enjoy!
I recommend this game!

I love physics based games, and when I saw that this game was only available on Mac I had to borrow a MacBook Pro from my son so I could check it out! There are several levels that start out in an easy, tutorial mode and gradually advances you to more difficult levels until you wanna pull out your hair in frustration. (Novice, Amature, Follower, Professional, Expert, Master, Champion and a Bonus Level which I'm sure I'll never get to lol)
The goal of the game is to click and drag back the ball launcher, aim and shoot the ball so that the ball will pass over and collect all three gems and then land directly into the hole. Sounds easy right? Well, the further you pull back the ball, the tighter the spring tension is on the launcher thus the ball will have more momentum. Sometimes that works, sometimes it causes the ball to ricochet uncontrollably and go in the opposite direction of the hole! Each level introduces a new scenario or obstacle, There are Pits (wicked holes of darkness with teeth) that will cause you to lose the ball if the ball falls into the pit, there are Moving Objects that can be helpful at times, but can also just get in your way, there are objects that are laying in greasy oil patches that can be knocked out of the way when the ball hits it, and there are even several Fans that cause the ball to drop it's trajectory because of the turbulence they create!
The goal of each level is to receive all 3 blue gems available in each level, and you have the ability to replay any level as often as you want to try for a perfect score. The tutorial is very thorough and easy to understand. This can be a frustrating kind of game, especially if you're like me and you have to play the level over again until you get it right and get all three gems, but it's also very entertaining and fun, enjoy!

For a Standard Edition, this game is quite impressive because of the very creative puzzles and Hidden Object Scenes! Mrs. Maisy is a Child Psychologist who is trying to find out why several children from the local orphanage have gone missing. All of these children were complaining about recurring nightmares, all of the nightmares seem to have a stranger wearing a hat. A troubled young boy named Denny, somehow seems to know about the other kids nightmares, and once you fall asleep, you discover this strange phenomenon as well, because you're there too!
The computer generated graphics are actually pretty decent, and the game mechanics seem to be flawless. There aren't any bells and whistles available, but the characters have voices and you get to choose the dialog questions you want to know about. Towards the end of the demo, Denny will join you as the Hint Icon, replacing your character as the hint system.
There are only a couple of Hidden Object Scenes during the demo, but I found them to be somewhat different and entertaining. The HOP I thought was the most interesting was finding several kids drawings, and using those drawings as a reference to assemble the toys they drew.
The Mini Games were very cool! 1) Guiding a satellite through every square without getting stuck 2) Using class roll call cards of the kids who were Present or Absent, and a class photo showing the seating arrangement, to check off the list of student names who were present or absent for each of the school days shown. 3) Assemble a hurdy-gurdy in the correct order as shown by a blue outline, 4) Moving items around a suitcase to uncover the hand fan, but the items have to fit in the exact grid spaces they came out of, items cannot overlap. 5) my favorite Mini Game was placing parts onto several sticks to recreate a figure shown as a silhouette.
Kudo's to the developers on this game which is worthy of a credit or cold hard cash, enjoy!

Many people believe the legendary Oregon Phoenix is to blame for the recent rash of fires that claimed the life of Dr. Steven Peek, a chemistry professor at the Stone Spire University. The Mystery Trackers have offered their help investigating the strange phenomenon occurring at the Stone Spires Hotel. Dr. Amanda Sate worked with Steven at the University, and her affection for Steven was her inspiration for renovating the main University building into a Hotel, to be closer to Steven. It's Time to get to work detective, sifting through the ashes to uncover solid evidence won't be easy, but chasing a mythical legend will prove to be even more difficult!
The legendary Haunted Hotel series has been evolving lately as well. Haunted Hotel: Phoenix, has given the series a new set of fiery wings, and this edition is definitely proof that it's heading in the right direction! The computer generated graphics are crystal clear, and the characters are real people, features that give the player a sense of actually being part of the game instead of just watching the events take place. Many of the inventory items are complex inventory items which require some type of interaction before using such as combining that item with another inventory item or fixing the item so that it can be used. The Collector's Edition has additional features not available in this Standard Edition, There are 20 Collectible Puzzle Pieces, 12 Legendary Bird Figurines with a small bio and origin, and my all time favorite feature, 21 Morphing Objects
The Hidden Object Scenes are varied with interactive List finds, Silhouetted Shape finds and even a HOP where you click to move some of the objects in the scene to see what item is behind it, and find the object hiding its matching pair. There are also several small HOP's within zoomed in areas that require you to find 3 pieces of tape, 3 chains and various other inventory items, but they're not hidden or difficult to find, in fact, the items are so obvious it makes you wonder why they bothered with this feature. The Mini Games are decent, some of which I haven't seen before, or at least they are a variation of an older puzzle. Many of the games involve swapping wires or resetting wires by moving the jacks and pulling a lever to see which ones are correct. I enjoyed the Mini Game where you have to turn several bumpers to help the tennis player score points by guiding the tennis ball past the player on the right.
The Collector's Edition has 8 Wallpapers, 10 Concept Art Pictures, 17 Achievements, 12 Mythical Bird Figurines, 20 Stained Glass Puzzle Pieces, 21 Morphing Objects, replayable HOP's and Mini Games, a Secret Room, a built in Strategy Guide and a Bonus Chapter. Enjoy!
I recommend this game!

Foreign Dreams
When nightmares begin to torment her friend Victor, a young woman decides to help him. Enter a world of nightmares!
This "Top Reviewer" is one of our most frequent game reviewers. We think you'll trust what they have to say and find their reviews helpful and informative.
This is a game easily overlooked, and the storyline has been done several times, BUT, the unusual features offered make this game fun to play. The graphics could be better, they are hand drawn and cartoonish, and many items are a bit too small, and there are no voiceovers whatsoever, so there is a lot of dialog boxes you need to read, otherwise I would have given this game 5 stars!
Your friend Victor has been plagued nightly with bizarre recurring nightmares about wild things, and the same girl appears in his dreams over and over, but she doesn't speak and he doesn't know what she wants or why she's in his dreams. Because of your unique abilities to enter other people's dreamworld, you agree to enter Victor's dreams to find out what his dreams mean and hopefully help him out.
The inventory bar has several faded images that need to be found either in the current scene or other scenes as they are unlocked, and those items are used to progress through the game by fixing broken items etc. This basically equates to the entire game as a HOP, because there aren't any specific HOS.
The Mini Games are actually quite entertaining, there are basic games such as jigsaw puzzles or sliding tokens to the correct color coded slots. There are more complex puzzles as well, such as arranging ticket numbers in ascending order from left to right using directional arrows to move a square to the desired location, and then rotating the box to scramble the numbers to their desired location. This is one of those games you're just going to have to play to see if you like this type of game, happy dreaming and enjoy!

He held immense power which he used to protect the people of all the lands. Eventually, the lord divided his power and forged it into 5 Relics, the Healing Scepter, the Bracelet of Growth, the Necklace of Cunning, the Ring of Fire and the Crown of Courage. He bestowed the Relics upon five virtuous individuals to rule the five realms of his Kingdom with wisdom and in peace. Nevertales has many stories to tell, this tale is about strength, wisdom, deceit, treachery and above all, love that knows no boundary!
Equipped with only the Ring of Fire and your husband's brother Hark (who, for some reason is capable of shapeshifting into a talking crow) you trade in your Princess slippers and ruby rings for leather boots, gloves and a cloak, and set sail on the Falcon. You cannot fail this mission, you MUST find the Healing Scepter to save your husband and Kingdom from crystallization! The Ring of Fire has many abilities, it protects you from heat and flames, allows you to create and bend flames, and it's somehow capable of communication between you and Ashbringer. Hark proves to be invaluable as well, because of his ability to shapeshift into a flying crow, allowing you to retrieve those inventory items that somehow end up in the oddest places, impossible to reach. Many of the inventory items are complex items that require some type of interaction before they can be used. The Achievements have an unusual feature as well, there are 9 Bronze Casual Achievements to earn, 9 Silver Advanced Achievements and 9 Gold Expert Achievements to earn, including an Achievement for finishing the Demo, so you will have to download and play the Demo before you purchase the game if you want to earn all of them! There are 40 Hidden Collectible Roses which unlocks more challenging puzzles and a secret level when they have all been found.
Most Hidden Object Scenes have a Morphing Object to find, and the HOP's range from slightly interactive list finds (where you click on some items to move them aside) and with each listed item found, a small crack in a stone gets larger and larger until the final item is exposed. There is a Hidden Object Puzzle that is typical in the Nevertales series where you are tasked with finding the symbol shown in a circle, within the illustration of a book, sometimes requiring an interaction to find a symbol. With every symbol found, the story progresses a paragraph at a time.
The Mini Games are creative, but kind of easy in my opinion. The first MG requires you to "ring" bells in a specific order by trial and error, and a game where you open up two crates at a time as you try to find the matching items. The two puzzles I liked the best was plotting a course to sail the Falcon on a map, avoiding rocks and clouds and you only have 7 moves to sail from point A to B, when you think you have plotted the right course, you press the play button to see if you made it safely through the clouds without hitting any rocks. The second game I enjoyed was dragging wooden jointed tiles to the correct color coded slots, and each puzzle becomes more difficult as more colored tiles are added with less room to navigate.
This Collector's Edition has 9 Gold Expert Achievements, 9 Silver Advanced Achievements, 9 Bronze Casual Achievements, 11 Morphing Objects, 40 Hidden Collectible Roses, replayable Color Connect Puzzles (as mentioned above) 12 replayable HOP's, 18 Wallpapers, 32 Concept Art Pictures, 9 Music Soundtracks, a Legends Jigsaw Puzzle, a built in Strategy Guide and a Bonus Chapter, enjoy!
fromJust how many things does Princess Adele carry with her? Here's a key here's a symbol and oh yeah, take my old photo album I've been lugging around...

When Princess Adele became deathly ill, her father pleaded with Isa to do whatever it takes to make her well. The evil sorcerer agreed to heal the Princess if the King would give his daughter's hand in marriage and his blessings to Isa. Left with no choice, His Majesty gives Isa a "King's Promise" little does the King know, that Isa has big plans for the Kingdom of the Black Unicorn, evil plans! Princess Adele has sent for her best friend (a.k.a. Princess You) hoping that you can save her from her evil suitor, and save the Kingdom of the Black Unicorn, before it's too late!
Your dear sweet Nanny's mother was from The Black Unicorn Kingdom, where gargoyles hide and protect the Kingdom's best kept secrets. Before you leave on your journey, Nanny gives you her mother's special mirror which will expose the secrets hidden behind the gargoyle symbols throughout the kingdom. To charge this magical mirror you must find all 6 hidden gargoyle symbols floating in the air, and then use the mirror on the gargoyle symbol to reveal secret codes and hidden compartments. There are complex inventory items that require further interaction before using some of the items, such as combining that item with another inventory item, or repairing the item so it can be used. The Collector's Edition offers Achievements to earn and 24 hidden collectible Stamps or wax seals, that will unlock the Bonus Chapter once they have all been found.
The Hidden Object Scenes are Interactive list finds, as well as finding items in pairs. The only complain I have is that the scenes are repeated which I think is very boring. Because the graphics are hand drawn, the Hidden Object Puzzles are very cartoonish looking and some of the items aren't very realistic (but it is a fantasy themed game after all) The Mini Games are decent, but nothing really new such as moving gems into 4 different slots by selecting each gem's directional arrows and using other gems as bumpers. There are a lot of smaller puzzles requiring you to select buttons and symbols to push in a specific order, and even a Crossbow and Arrow interactive game where you line up the crosshairs on the flying gargoyle to hit him 3 times. One of my favorite games was jumping Unicorns over each other on several different shelves until only one remains, and, you can jump up a shelf, down a shelf, to the right or left and even diagonally.
The Collector's Edition has 9 Wallpapers, 9 Concept Art pictures, 4 Screensavers, 24 Collectible Stamps, Music, 14 Achievements, replayable Hidden Object Puzzles and Mini Games, a built in Strategy Guide and a Bonus Adventure, enjoy!

I'm really starting to dig this League of Light series, after all, Wicked Harvest was pretty wicked! The League is missing an ancient artifact from their vault and one of their agents, Linda Gray seems to be MIA as well. To make matters a little more complicated, Linda just happens to be the daughter of the Top Dog in the LOL, and he want's them both returned ASAP! Tracking down Linda is the easy part, saving her from the Stone Giants is a different ballgame altogether. All you need to defeat these SG's is a tear from a dragon and his heart of course, but I'm not sure which one to collect first, taking a dragon's heart first would surely make him cry at least one tear, right?
The League of Light doesn't seem to have any special gadgets like most secret agencies, in fact, you have to travel to Stoneville, Belgium via a Balloon, which barely gets you there in one piece! You may not have special goggles or a rambunctious 4 legged partner, but you do have some pretty good survival skills, especially when it comes to dodging the razor sharp stone shrapnel that gets hurled at you everytime you try to help Louise. There are complex Plus Sign Inventory items that either require you to combine the item with other inventory items or play a small game or puzzle before using that item. There are are bunch of Achievements to earn, one of which is unique to this series where you must answer a simple question given about the game, so pay attention if you want to earn all ten of the available Achievements. There are League of Light hidden Characters Figurines to find and 26 Hidden Owls (another unique icon in LOL) they are really easy to locate at first but become more difficult to find as you progress because they are very well blended into the scenery.
The Hidden Object Puzzles are really entertaining, there are several small HOP's within some of the zoom zones, with a handful of fragments to find as shown in the outline to the right which will give you a useful inventory item when completed such as a pitchfork or sword. The normal HOP's vary back and forth from interactive List finds to progressive, interactive Silhouetted Shape finds where you find the first item that matches the silhouetted shape found and then use that item to interact with other items in the scene to expose the next item and so forth. My favorite HOP was finding items that are blended into a knight's coat of armor.
The Mini Games are my favorite part, and this game has a ton of them, some old standards, some new and different. There are the usual games where you slide tokens to their matching slots, slide a hexagon shaped gem around a honeycomb style grid to cover all cells, or set clock hands to the correct time, using clues you find on the clock itself. There are descriptions written on notes that you correctly place onto a map, if it's in the right place, you get to hear some of the tragic stories that happened to the citizens of Stoneville. One of my favorite games had several number tiles with either a forward or backward arrow on them that you placed in slots in the order you want. When you are done, you hit the play button and a man walks a path, step by step with that exact pattern. He may walk 8 spaces forward, 5 steps backward, 3 steps forward etc. so that the last move he makes will put him at the end of the path, if he lands on a step with fire, you have to redo the entire process.
This Collector's Edition allows you to choose a Male or Female voice (or none) a Custom mode of difficulty where you get to choose the settings you want, 18 Concept Art Pictures, 13 Wallpaper settings, 10 Achievements, 6 Music Soundtracks. 26 Hidden Owls, Collectible League of Light Characters, a built in Strategy Guide and a Bonus Chapter, enjoy!

Open up restaurants in 48 States, Solitaire style! This is a Higher/Lower type solitaire where cards can be played either one higher or one lower regardless of suit, however, if you play cards of the same suit, you get bonus points to fill the star meter quicker. There are only 4 styles of cards and 3 different face cards available, but there are Achievements to earn and there are bonus games available, Freeplay Solitaire, Tri-peaks Solitaire and Five Peaks Solitaire.
There are three modes of difficulty, Casual which has a higher chance of receiving special cards, higher points are awarded and you can play cards from Ace to King and vice versa. Medium mode gives you a medium chance of receiving special cards and the points you receive are normal points, Ace to King and vice versa still applies. In Hard mode, there is a low chance of receiving special cards AND the Chef cards are harder to get to, Ace to King and vice versa does not apply.
Everything in this game is related to a restaurant theme, so some of the cards are covered with Bacon that require you to uncover the tongs card, and some cards are covered with fried eggs that require finding the spatula card other cards are covered in Grease that requires you to find the cleaner card, you get the picture, kinda creative if you think about it. The goal in each game is to remove all Chef Cards, some other goals are occasionally given such as making a large combo. Unless you go into settings and opt out of the AUTO FINISH feature, the game will end when the level goals have been met, even if cards remain on the board. If you don't complete the level goals, and runout of cards, you will have to replay the level until you do . The money you earn can be used in the shop to purchase Kitchen themed items such as a Mixer that will show you how many cards are left in the deck.
Some of the cards are Special cards that give you a Mini Game to play for extra points, (they can be skipped) There are two different ones in the demo, Burger Run and Leaky Pipes. Burger run is a fast paced game where you assemble as many burgers as possible before the timer runs out, with the same ingredients as shown on the left, and more ingredients are added as you progress. The pipes game is the same principle using different angled pipes to stop the leaks. After yesterday's solitaire disaster of a game, this game has come to the rescue of all solitaire fans, enjoy!
