Gregory and Fernando were best friends, until they came across an artifact that changed their friendship and their lives forever! Fernando Gomez, fueled by evil, has been trying to summon Xalan the Jaguar God, and has been turning everyone into Jaguar slaves including Gregory. Thankfully, Sophia the Moon Goddess and priestess of Chelia has agreed to help you capture Gomez and put an end to all this madness once and for all.
I absolutely loved the original Mayan Prophecies, but I didn't think the second one did this story any justice, but this third edition might be the games saving grace. The graphics are fairly well done and I enjoyed the underwater scenes that made for a nice change of pace. The HIDDEN OBJECT SCENES are well done, mostly interactive list finds, some of the scenes revealed a fragment under every object found that would eventually open up a chest to reveal the final item. You have the option of switching to a game of MAHJONG instead. There are a lot of MINI GAMES and puzzles such as placing 6 tokens on a board so that the rays each token projects doesn't cross through any other token. Most puzzles are fun, not frustrating.
The COLLECTORS EDITION include 25 hidden TOTEMS that will release a bird for you to catch and 36 MORPHING OBJECTS, as well as a ton of ACHIEVEMENTS to earn. The CE also has the usual WALLPAPERS, CONCEPT ART, MUSIC, a built in STRATEGY GUIDE and of course a BONUS CHAPTER. Enjoy!
I recommend this game!

If you thought the puzzles were awesome on 1001 Jigsaw Earth Chronicles 1 then you are in for a whole lot of happiness with this second edition. I was so blown away, I wish I hadn't bought the first one! These pictures are phenomenal and are grouped in 7 different categories, Animals (my favorite) Birds, Landscape, Flora, Waterworld, Food and Humans, each category has 143 different puzzles for a grand total of 1001 beautiful puzzles ranging from 12 pieces to 247. There are several different features that will help keep you organized and on track, a box to store extra pieces, you can post an image of the picture and choose what size you want, or you can ghost the image on the background. There is a magnifying glass and a hint feature, you can use the auto sort button and border pieces only, as well as change the color of the background to pink, green, blue or gray. My favorite feature hands down is the Modify section which allows you to customize any of the puzzles. You choose how many pieces, the shape of the puzzle pieces and whether you want the pieces to rotate or not! If you are a jigsaw geek like myself, then I highly recommend this edition, enjoy!

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 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!
