Sure does seem like there's an abundance of feral cat stories lately, the town of Snowville (how original) is being stalked by snow leopards, even worse, the domestic cats have abandoned their warm cozy beds to join these fierce felines. As a veterinarian you find this behavior abnormal, and begin to investigate the felines rhyme and reason for attacking the townsfolk, someone is controlling them but who and why?
This isn't my favorite Fierce Tale, but it is a solid game with a great story and very detailed graphics. The Hidden Object Scenes are a mixture of interactive list finds, silhouetted shapes and placing items back into the scene correctly. The mini games are fairly easy such as sliding dancing ballerinas until they are on their matching colored pedestal, there are also more detailed puzzles that require you to turn all 9 buttons green but when you push one button, others are affected.
The Collectors Edition has 25 hidden sketches, a Cats Shelter room, concept art, music, videos, and achievements, a built in strategy guide and a bonus game. In my opinion there isn't enough extras to persuade me and I will wait until the Standard Edition comes out to compare, enjoy!
I recommend this game!

I love these Time Management games involving constructing, buying and selling of property, and this Free To Play version ranks among my favorites. The graphics are really good with very lifelike building and scenery. Each level has different goals such as, build two houses, collect $115k or upgrade and sell an existing property. The property you own earns you money from rent and will allow you to purchase other houses or materials.
There are several houses available to construct, bungalows, duplex's, townhouses, ranch, victorians, and even palaces. As you progress you will be able to construct workshops, sawmills, garden centers, real estate offices, tech centers, business centers and banks. You will have to manage your profits in order to buy the materials to build and upgrade or even purchase houses that are put on the market.
Because this is a F2P game you may need to purchase more energy etc. There are also some unique features available such as a Partnership which is permanent but gives you 7 buildings with extra abilities and features to complete the levels faster and easier, you get benefits without having to actually construct it. You can also purchase the ability to Jump start at the beginning of each level with more money, more materials and more workers. Enjoy!

It's time to play poker, pull up a computer chair and ante up! If you are a poker fan you are going to love this game AND walk away with your shirt on as well! You can play the tutorial or skip it, but the tutorial will give you the basics such as when to Call, Fold or Check, the mechanics of the game and how to raise your bet, it also shows you the suits you are striving for and which hands are worth more in the rankings such as a Royal Flush is the highest or a Full House beats a Pair. If the game is moving too slow, you can speed the game up with the fast forward button, you will use your winnings to help rebuild your hometown which has fallen apart since you grew up there. You get to choose your name as well as a male or female character and there are 9 different languages to choose from. Trophies are awarded in the tournaments for 1st through 5th place and there are 28 other achievements or trophies to earn, enjoy!

This game is so easy to play, anyone can learn how to play this game in a couple of seconds! The tutorial doesn't even have words, just a finger that illustrates to click on the bomb and drag the bomb to the desired location and then click to detonate. That's all you have to do! However, the hard part comes in when you have to strategically place the bomb so that you knock all of the monsters off of the logs, crates and towers with as few bombs as possible. Some of the levels have crates that hold the good guys captured by the monsters and you will need to knock off the monsters without knocking off the crates holding the good guys. You will earn a gold trophy if you complete the level within a specific amount of bombs, but you can replay the level or restart the level as often as you want until you figure out the best bomb placement for the best results, enjoy!

Turns out farming isn't as fun as I thought it would be. You have left the smog and city life behind to become a farmer. The object of this virtual reality game is to complete specific goals given to earn experience points, such as buying 5 hens or collecting 50 eggs. You can buy all of the usual farm animals, hen's, duck's, rabbit's, turkey's, goats, pigs, sheep, donkey's, cow's and horses but you must manage your money wisely to be able to purchase different types of food for each animal and housing so the animals don't run away.
When you purchase an animal, you choose what size you want to buy and what color you want, each animal has been prenamed. You will need to feed the animal several times to fill up their food meter and after they eat you need to brush them until they sparkle. If an animal gets sick, you will need to purchase food with medicine to cure them. Each animal produces different sellable goods such as eggs, milk or even a fattened up animal and you use that money to purchase more animals, food or housing. There is a timer that allows you to accelerate through the day, but you will have to feed the animals quickly or they will get sick and not produce. This game claims to have excellent graphics, but I wasn't very impressed, you can scan or scroll over the entire farm when you move the cursor up, down, left and right, in order to find all of the wandering farm animals without an enclosure, Enjoy!

Yet another fantastic Fantasy mosaic, more colorful than ever before. There are two modes of difficulty available, Casual where the numbers are crossed off one by one, and Advanced where the numbers are crossed off when a row is complete. Once you complete the first grid shown in a single color, cells that were eliminated on the first grid will open up and a new color will be used to complete that portion of the grid and so forth until the puzzle has been completed to show a very colorful image which actually makes the image pop with a 3D vibe! There are several puzzles available and every step you take in the game will help renovate the landscape and guide the penguin to find his soul mate. Some of the tiles contain bonuses such as extra hints or a pick axe to reveal the state of a single cell. The object of the game is to left click on the tiles to fill the cell in or right click to highlight empty cells by process of elimination, enjoy!

Whodunit? Adam Turner was found dead this morning in his garden from a single bullet wound to his back. This won't be an easy case to crack, Mr. Turner was a prominent attorney with plenty of enemies, his latest case involved the mafia and even his own sister was bitter over property inheritance. It is up to you, Detective Karla Robbins to assist Detective John Scott in interviewing a very long list of suspects and begin scouring the estate for valuable evidence, whodunit?
I'm a huge fan of murder mystery games and this game has an excellent plot that thickens after every interrogation, however, the graphics are iffy, (excellent detail on characters, very little detail on scenery, and horrible rendition of the cat) and at times the game flowed at a snail's pace. I'm not hard to entertain, I can usually overlook flaws and find entertainment value in just about every game, and because I found this murder mystery story interesting, I was willing to overlook the simplistic graphics.
The Hidden Object Scenes are plentiful, with one in just about every location. The HOS are a mixture of listed items, and silhouetted shapes, some of the locations are repeated but not all of them. Because you are a Detective collecting evidence, some of the scenes require you to "collect" fingerprints in a scene that is covered with a greenish film with a small target type lense as the only clear opening as you search and click on the fingerprints. The mini games are mostly puzzles that require you to rotate rings and when you rotate one ring, others move as well, there are also puzzles that require you to slide round tokens, one at a time until the tokens are in the correct spot to complete a picture.
You will have a case file journal that serves as your objective list, task list and evidence summary. Each piece of evidence you come across will automatically be added to the observation journal as you hear the sound of a camera being clicked. You can read a summary about each character in the suspects section of the journal as well. There is an optional tutorial and the hint system will tell you specifically what needs to be done and allows you to jump to that location, enjoy!

This is a nice Match 3 game, but, it lacks a wow factor. In my opinion, the tiles and objects within the cells could be a little more exciting visually. The object of this game is to match at least 3 alike tiles under pieces of artifacts which will allow those artifacts to drop off of the board and eventually create a single artifact such as a gold ring. If you finish the level fast enough, you will earn 3 stars and precious gold to use in the shop to purchase upgrades that will help you finish levels that are more difficult.
There are the usual blocked tiles that can be destroyed by making matches near the blocked cell or by using bonuses. There are bombs that remove nearby tiles, directional rockets that destroy tiles in the direction that the rockets are pointing to, magic crystals to remove all of a certain type of cell, and an hourglass to restore some of your remaining time.
There are several locations in India to visit such as the Taj Mahal, and the music isn't bad but does become a bit repetitive. This doesn't seem to be a difficult game to play, the levels progress at a nice pace, and the tutorial is informative without being overbearing, enjoy!

Every century a Witch's Ceremony is held during the full moon in order to choose a new Moon Queen. (the quarter moon witch ceremony is a different game entirely!) The Moon Queen brings hope and light to the world, but that wouldn't be a very interesting story, so if the ceremony doesn't take place, despair and darkness will rule the world, now that's more like it! A group of evil witches will do anything to stop this ceremony and are wreaking havoc in your new abode. The evil witches have sent an annoying little goblin to your house to destroy your Aunt Isabella's antique mirror, he seems to be having a goblin of a time breaking things, freezing entire rooms, turning sticks into giant snakes and has used the power of the moon to cause thorny roots to bust through your house, he's just kinda grouchy!
The graphics are very nicely done, in fact, I loved the way the devs were able to manipulate a droplet of water that puddled on the ceiling and gushed downward to transform into that mischievous little gremlin and even the way that simple objects morphed into a living breathing creature. The Hidden Object Scenes are interactive list finds and I found some of the items a wee bit too small, but the items are well defined. There are mini games that are on the simple side such as rotating circular shaped discs to complete a picture, and more complex puzzles where you need to choose the correct triangle piece so that it will match 3 separate shapes as shown as the example.
The Collectors Edition has one of my favorite features, 35 morphing objects as well as wallpapers, concept art, music, puzzles, a built in strategy guide, and a bonus chapter from your sisters perspective. Either edition is entertaining, but I prefer the Collectors Edition because of the morphing objects, enjoy!

After you rescued Lynn from Elizabeth the big bad witch she used her powers to help others and fell in love with a young man named Edward only to find out he was working for a group of Witch Hunters who maliciously hunted and killed any witch regardless of their intentions. Edward was hopelessly in love with Lynn and his heart told him that Lynn was a kind and gentle witch who not only deserved to live, but live the rest of her life as his bride. Edward and Lynn are to be married this weekend, but fate just might have other plans because Edward has just learned that his parents are alive and he has an older sister as well! Trouble in paradise has already planted it's sinister seed and big sister Abigail may not be the in-law Lynn would grow to love.
That devilish mischievous little half pint Imp will join you once again as you help Lynn find Edward and discover the truth about his adoption from Oldhills Orphanage. Why this Imp doesn't have a name by now perplexes me but you will find 10 collectible items to delight your little helper such as yo-yo's, and spinning tops. There are also 35 morphing objects and 35 hidden puzzle pieces that will unlock mini games too. Some of the inventory items have + sign indicators which will require you to either fix the object or combine the object with another inventory item before using. As with all of the Witch's Legacy games, there are plenty of achievements to earn, including using your Imp to help you, which is redundant if you think about it because you don't have an alternate option but to use his help reaching items beyond your capability lol.
The Hidden Object Scenes are very well done, you have to find a broom first to sweep leaves away from the list on one scene, another scene reveals pieces of a meld behind each listed item which assembles the meld in order to make a key for the drawer which contains the final object! You can switch to a game of matching paired items by flipping over cards two at a time, and I honestly forgot to read all of the achievements to find out if playing the alternate game earns an achievement so you may want to see if that's the case. I was a tad bit disappointed with the mini games because unlike the other games in this series, they were way too simple and basic, almost fool proof (as I sometimes feel when playing some of those frustrating ones) The games involve swapping tiles to complete a path from point A to B, or using arrows to turn an inner gold ring and an outer blue ring as you slide alike colored marbles either in or out with a center space to free up space. They aren't bad, just too easy in my opinion.
This Collectors Edition has Wallpapers, an Art Gallery, Screensavers, Soundtracks, Achievements, Morphing Objects, Collectible Puzzle pieces, 35 Puzzles, an Imp room, a built in Strategy Guide and of course a Bonus Chapter which certainly makes this edition worth a close look, enjoy!
