I'm a huge fan of this series and I own everyone of them, but Winterpoint Tragedy doesn't seem like a Mystery Trackers game. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but, if it ain't broke, don't fix it! The Agency has sent you to the Winterpoint Station in Alaska to investigate a distress call received from a fellow agent. The station has been sabotaged by someone, or something, and you quickly discover that you're not alone......and you're not welcome!
Elf hasn't retired yet, and the cold doesn't seem to deter this feisty little furry agent either. Elf's ready, willing and most definitely able to lend a paw at a moments notice, bravely going where no dog has gone before. There are complex inventory items that require some type of interaction before using them, and 24 different Achievements to earn throughout the game. There are two different collectibles, characters such as the boss, a photographer and a snow mobile driver, as well as brightly lit stars that are stored on your Starry Sky constellation map. Mystery Trackers didn't let me down on my favorite feature, yes, there are Morphing Objects to find in each scene! There's always some type of gadget the agency equips you with, this case requires the use of a technologically advanced visor. The visor is capable of detecting heat and energy sources as well as identifying damage, in the form of a quick and simple HOP where you find a handful of identical symbols.
The Hidden Object Scenes vary, which isn't the norm in this series known for it's detailed scenes with interactive list finds. There are still some listed item finds, one of which require a flashlight to find items in a dark room. There are also interactive silhouetted shape finds, multiples of one item and one where you click to move an item aside revealing a hidden item that needs to be matched with it's partner. The Mini Games are way too simple in my opinion, the only one's that aren't are the Rube Goldberg style puzzles where you interact with several small and quirky puzzles on a panel or board. There are simple puzzles of swapping or rotating tiles, clicking on buttons in the correct sequence, punching in code numbers to crack safes and a somewhat confusing game where you use security cameras to pinpoint the correct area that the power is blocked and then you connect the power lines to restore the flow of energy.
This Collector's Edition has 8 Wallpapers, 8 Concept Art pictures, 6 Music Soundtracks, 24 Achievements, a Secret Room, a Starry Sky constellation map that houses 40 Collectible Stars, Morphing Objects, Collectible Characters, a built in Strategy Guide and a Bonus Chapter. If you can overlook the fact that this game doesn't "feel" like the typical Mystery Trackers game, it's a decent game with excellent graphics, quality cinematics, and an extraterrestrial vibe so put on your MT badge, scoop up Elf and get your game on, enjoy!

Bonnie Turner has hired you to find her missing husband, Bill, who had sought work in the mines of Rockshire. When you arrive, you learn that the entire town has been shut down, and someone will stop at nothing to keep you from discovering the truth! Someone, perhaps Bill himself, has systematically hidden clues throughout the town with the hope that someone, anyone might be able to stop the evil that lurks within the town!
This game starts out a wee bit slow, but picks up a nice pace as you progress, drawing you into the story. There is a Customizable mode, with a feature that makes the Mini Games more difficult, I highly recommend this option to seasoned players because even with this feature turned on, I felt the Mini Games were kind of easy. One of my favorite features of this series, is the Collectible Hidden Crystals. There are a total of 72, and each location has a specific number with a convenient pull tab on the left of the screen to show you how many there are in your current location. Once all of the crystals have been found, the downlow on the city's mystery will be revealed! Many of the inventory items are complex items that require some type of interaction before the item can be used, and there are plenty of Achievements to earn as well. The Red Panda has eaten his bamboo and as ready willing and able to help you once again to retrieve items in places only a panda would dare to venture! Another cool feature this series has are Picture Hints. When you uncover hidden pictures, you match the picture to the correct scene and location and wherever the X is on the picture, that's where you will find the next clue.
The Hidden Object Scenes weren't bad, one in particular felt awkward, as you are tasked with finding interactive list finds whilst struggling with an attacker the entire time, and after the items are found, you had to trace a few jagged lines with a hand and knife cursor, just weird in my opinion. There are multiple finds, and silhouetted shape finds as well, and you can opt for a Match 3 game instead. A big disappointment for me came with the realization that most of the HOS are repeated, and that makes it boring so at least there's an alternate game available.
The Mini Games are in abundance, I know some gamers loathe that but I love the Mini Games, in fact I would love to play a game that had nothing but Mini Games! I will list a few of the games available in the demo but keep in mind, I opted for more difficult games so I'm not sure if they are different. The first game has you flip over two tokens at a time to make a match followed by circular discs with sections to be swapped to create a picture. A lantern game where the goal is to light all lanterns. when one lantern is selected, others are affected. A picture on a wall with arrows on each column and row to nudge picture sections to the correct slot, a safe cracking code where you swap stained glass sections to create a mirror image, and a classic game of sliding tokens along designated paths so all silver tokens are on the top and all gold tokens are on the bottom.
This Collector's Edition has Achievements, 72 Collectible Crystals, Music Soundtracks, replayable Hidden Object Scenes and Mini Games, Movies, Wallpapers, a Workshop (dev. diary and Concept Art) a built in Strategy Guide and TWO Bonus Chapters (Sister's Spell and Eternal Love) So get your HO game on and enjoy!
I recommend this game!

Fort Meow
In Fort Meow, use physics-based puzzle mechanics to construct a pillow fort and protect Nia from a barrage of feline assailants!

Normally I love physics based games, but after playing this game for 30 minutes, there was nothing to hold my interest, so I gave up on it. The basics of the game is to use household items to build a fort that will protect you from annoying pouncing cats. That in itself sounds interesting, but for me it just becomes mundane. Once you have enough energy, you can explore different rooms in the house for more items, mattresses, tables, tv's, pillows, beanbags etc. You then have a time limit to construct your fort by clicking, dragging and rotating items that will withstand pouncing cats and fat cats who attack with brutal force from the side. As the game progresses, different cats are added with different skills, and you receive gifts in the mail such as squirt guns and beachballs that can be used during the attacks.
I have no doubt that many will love this game, but this game isn't nearly as fun as the last physics game with the cookie loving Cat on a Diet, so download the trial first to see if it's a fit for you.
Complete dangerous missions amid dazzling landscapes of prehistoric Earth and alien worlds. Can you complete these thrilling puzzles in order to return home?

What would you think if you discovered a sarcophagus 10,000 years old, and inside was a modern day smartphone? What would you think if the mummy inside looked exactly like you? Well, after some confusing moments, you would begin to think that just maybe, time travel is possible! (I wanna be buried with a smartphone too, just in case)
This is a very unusual game, with very unusual features, and a ton of innovative games. The Hidden Object Games are varied from matching two related items, finding items that match silhouetted shapes and interactive list finds. The Mini Games are much more impressive, and plentiful! From recreating an image using three different symbol shapes, swapping and rotating circular discs (while you learn of fantastic time travelers) Swapping books in the correct order to recreate an image, finding items shown on a list through a telescope, and a unique jigsaw where you swap different sized pieces even if they look too big or small to fit. My favorite game was a fast past code game where you click on the numbers in the correct sequence, the kicker is that the numbers are rotating AND changing at a wicked fast pace!
Even though this is a standard edition, there are 16 Achievements, and several really cool mini games to unlock, which was my favorite part. The following are descriptions of my favorite puzzles, replayable Mini Games are also available.
1: Find 5 which takes place in the scenes you've visited in the main story. 5 small images are shown for you to "find" somewhere in the scene.
2: Puzzle Boxes, a very addicting game where the goal is to remove all of the different colored boxes in the center by making a match of at least 2 of the same colored boxes. There are boxes on all 4 sides of the field that are used to launch boxes into the field.

This is quickly becoming one of my favorite Match 3 series, those friendly ghosts are back and looking for a new place to call home. They have found a new place to lay their welcome mat down, problem is, there's no seasons, no clouds, no wind, no rain! First things first, we need to play Match 3 games to earn coins and help the ghosts solve yet another dilemma.
This game is available in a Relaxed, Limited Time and Limited Moves mode. I played the game on the Timed mode, and let me tell you, there were a couple of levels that I had to replay because I ran out of time! Keep this in mind when playing, it's all about the coins, don't worry about obstacles UNLESS they are standing in the way of getting to a coin. Coins are collected when you make at least a Match 3 adjacent to them, beside them, over them and directly below them. Some Coins are in half, requiring matches next to them to make the halves come together in a straight line. Eventually there are dirty coins that need a power up to clean, icy coins that require fire, molds to fill with gold to create coins, and coins with locks and keys that need joined, along with obstacles such as wood, vines, chains, fog, fur, ice, walls and stones.
Matches of 4 will give you a Star powerup that can be matched or double clicked on to make a small explosion, a Match 5 gives you Dynamite, a Match 6 gives you a Pack of Stars, and a Match 7 gives you a Pack of Dynamite. You can "move" the powerups by making matches above them to move them up, beside them, and below them too.
The money you earn allows you to build houses, and various buildings that will help the ghosts create seasons, clouds etc. The first thing you build is a Calendar which holds your Achievements and eventually let's you switch between seasons. After a few levels you get to play various types of Mini Games such as Mahjong and Spot The Difference, so get your Match 3 game on and enjoy!

Lynn was born with magic, good magic. Queen Morgana desperately wanted these powers on her side, the dark side, so she had her servant Elizabeth kill Lynn's entire family. With no blood ties, Lynn would surely join her, but wait! There is a distant relative and Carrie took Lynn in and raised her as her own child, and the Imp, who used to be Lynn's pet dog! With Carrie's help, Lynn defeated and killed Morgana, but Morgana had one more trick up her sleeve. Will Lynn turn to the dark side after all?
This episode of Witches' Legacy is played and narrated by Edward Watson who is Lynn's husband, I'm not thrilled with that aspect, but it's still one of my favorite series. One of the coolest features this game has to offer besides the wonderful graphics, is that almost everything can be interacted with, especially the magical flowers that put on a fantastic display whenever you click on them, The Imp is back, once Lynn's family dog, now a comical Imp who is ready willing and able to help you at a moments notice. (with some props of course) You can click on him as well and watch him ham it up for you as he entertains you and himself! You are equipped with a Glass of Truth which lets you see the "real" image of the characters you meet along the way, and creates something they favor. If you choose the Collector's Edition, there are Achievements to earn, and 35 Morphing Objects available. There are also 36 Collectible Puzzle pieces that can be pieced together in a jigsaw puzzle that will create 4 different Wallpapers when finished.
The Hidden Object Scenes are interactive list finds, after finding 4 silhouetted shapes to uncover the list. Each item that is found usually reveal fragments that form a picture or necessary inventory item, and you can opt for an alternate Matching game where you flip over two cards at a time to make a match of identical items. There are 29 Mini Games, ranging from simple jigsaws to repeating the sequence of feathers lighting up with a specific color pattern.
The Collector's Edition has 9 Wallpapers, 9 Art Gallery pictures, 3 Screensavers, 6 Soundtracks, Achievements, 36 Jigsaw puzzle Pieces, 35 Morphing Objects, a built in Strategy Guide and a Bonus Chapter, so get your Witches' Legacy game on and enjoy!

After playing both versions of this game, I'm still not impressed. The graphics are cartoonish, especially in the zoomed in up close scenes, and the games are far too simple for my taste. This game takes place in Lhasa where a freak snowstorm hits in the mountainous region and Lady Pearson's niece Larisa, along with her entire exploration team is hopelessly lost. Being the adventurous Auntie, Lady Pearson kicks off her high heels and heads for Tibet to search for the team single handedly!
Really the only difference between this version and the Collector's edition is that there are 20 Achievements to earn and several Collectible categories, 11 Medallion's, 10 Apple's, 12 Swords, and 9 Stars, but at least in the demo, there are only one type of collectible categories at a time. This game has NO custom settings, only Regular, Advanced or Expert modes, I can't figure out why, this dev is certainly known for their custom settings.
The Hidden Object Scenes are the only feature that was interesting, but super easy. There are interactive list and silhouetted shape finds, some of the items in green will morph, (either version, surprisingly) so you have to wait until the morph is in the correct form to click on. You can opt for a game of Mahjong instead of the Hidden Object Puzzle if you choose.
Most of the Mini Games are so easy you have to wonder why they're even available. Several of the games give you a task list one at a time, finding color coded wires, gems and bug parts that are difficult to miss. Then you place those color coded findings upon their color coded areas etc. Other games are just variations of jigsaw puzzles where you swap puzzle tiles or rotate tiles to complete an image.
The Collector's Edition has 8 Wallpapers, 6 Concept Art pictures, 5 Soundtracks, replayable HOP's and Mini Games, 20 Achievements to earn, 11 Collectible Medallion's, 10 Collectible Apple's, 12 Collectible Swords, 9 Collectible Stars, a built in Strategy Guide and a Bonus Chapter, Dawa's Revenge.

THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A GAME LIKE THIS BEFORE! I was fortunate enough to beta test this game a while back, playing this game just left me hungry for more. The further you get into this unique game, the more you want, more information, who is this creepy little girl who taunts your every move? More background, what happened to this child that makes her want to psychologically torture her subjects? 360, have there been that many subjects? What's up with the Motel receptionist, is he subject 000? But most of all, will I get out of this dingy maze alive?
Everything about this game is AWESOME! You will feel your heart beating, you will feel a sense of urgency, You will feel trapped and desperate! It's sick, it's demented, it's gross, it's creepy, it's nerve wracking, and I love it! This maze is booby trapped, so you're going to have to choose your moves wisely. Do you want to open the door cautiously, or push the door quickly and hope for the best? I had to test this theory, the game warns that my decisions could be life altering, so I chose the opposite of what I chose in the beta, wondering if I would lose my life and find myself back in the trapped room where I began. That would have been pretty cool, but nope, I just get told I'm not very bright by my captor. She's tracking you! Yep, she's carefully hidden tokens that open locked doors in some of the weirdest places, and these token keep track of you and your progress, whew, I'm still panicked from nearly drowning! Don't get too caught up in the whole saving your life thing and miss the 44 Hidden Collectible symbols, this is the first time I've ever forgotten to look for a collectible, honestly who needs em, I wanna live!
The Hidden Object Puzzles are a bit scarce, again who needs 'em in this psychological thriller, but none the less, you gotta do them to get your inventory items right. They are varied but mostly list finds, although I enjoyed the HOP within a painting where the little girl tells you a story and you find item she is telling you about one sentence at a time. Each HOP has a Morphing Object as well.
There are a ton of mini games, some of which have a sense of urgency because you're trying to stay alive! There are a lot of clues to find in this game in order to solve some of the games, so don't overlook anything. There are valves to turn until the needles are all in the green zone, tiles to shift around with only one empty space, figurines to swap until all the lights turn green and even tiles to rotate to close all pipe circuits.
This Collector's Edition has 15 Achievements, 44 Collectible Symbols, 19 replayable HOP's with gold, silver and bronze trophies to earn, a Jigsaw Puzzle Character Gallery, Morphing Objects, 16 Wallpapers, Soundtracks, the Making of Video, a built in Strategy Guide and a Bonus Chapter

What kind of storm is capable of sinking ships off the coast of St. Margaret's Island? The storm of treachery, thievery and lies! This could be the case that makes your career, or leaves you at the bottom of the sea, just like the Duke of Reddington, who suffered an untimely death after discovering some discrepancies in the Governor's records! The Navy has sent you to investigate the disappearances and heists, problem is, the famous Sea Ripper believed to be responsible for the heists, is aboard your very ship!
I beta tested this game a few months back, and I was so excited that Sea of Lies had found it's way back to the sea, where it belongs. This edition has plenty of suspense to keep you on the edge of your seat, so fasten your seatbelt! There are Plus Sign Inventory items to tinker with, plenty of Achievements to earn, and 44 Collectible, but not so hidden Globes to collect. (they are unusually large)
The Hidden Object Scenes are done well with plenty of variations in scenery and type. Most are done in stages, with interactive list finds and descriptions, but there are also Multiple finds that include an interaction to open up the list, of silhouetted shape finds. If you aren't thrilled with the HOP's, you can play an awesome Match 3 game instead.
The Mini Games are plentiful, but kind of easy in my opinion. There are tokens that must be slide to match the background, Mermaids to put in the correct position to stop a waterfall, and a game that requires you to adjust silhouettes of ships using candle reflections. My favorite game requires you to select a starting point to move the token using directional arrows so that it travels across every cell without overlapping, for a total of three games that progress in difficulty.
This Collector's Edition has 12 Achievements, 27 replayable Puzzle Mini Games, 18 replayable HOP's, 7 Movies, 8 Concept Art pictures, 8 Wallpapers, 9 Music Soundtracks, a Souvenir Room, 44 Collectible Globes, a built in Strategy Guide and a Bonus Chapter. So get your HO game on and enjoy!

I love solitaire, but this type of solitaire is my least favorite. The goal of this game is to remove two of the same cards regardless of suit, NOT a higher/lower solitaire game. The reason I only gave this game 3 stars was because there are so few available matches that it's almost impossible to receive a perfect score. In fact, I replayed each hand several times attempting to get a perfect score, but no matter how many times I replayed the hand, I couldn't get enough matching cards to achieve this. I gave up replaying and just hit the continue button for each hand, and at the end of the 10 game level, I didn't have enough cards to progress to the next level or deck, what fun is that? I love a challenge, but......
There are 12 different card designs, and 3 different face cards available within the settings option. You receive 1 point for removing cards, which also fills the multiplier bar for extra points. Some of the cards are bonus card which have more points or bonuses to help you win. You will automatically win the hand if you remove all of the Gold cards, even if regular cards remain on the board. You can use the money you earn in the shop to purchase Joker cards (wild cards) Shuffles and mulligans which are undos. In the event of a perfect score, the points you earned on that level will be added to the next hand.
Perhaps you'll have better luck winning at least a few levels, than I did. I just don't think it's much fun when you can't win because there's never any available matches.
