I'm not a big bowling fan but it is a nice twist on the solitaire game. The goal here is to make matches on the solitaire game of any suite for example two 2's or two Jacks. If there is a star on any one of the cards, you get 899 dollars which can be used in the shop for bonus cards, which you will want to get otherwise you will have a lousy bowling score. You can choose junior bowling which allows you to replay a non winning hand or professional bowler which doesn't allow you to replay, what you get is what you get. The gold cards are your bowling cards, whatever number is on the card is the number pin you get. You get a limited number to reshuffle the deck before losing that hand and getting a scratch, It is a nice relaxing game and I did enjoy playing it.

Another fantastic Agatha Christie Hidden Object Game! An elderly Elspeth McGillicuddy was traveling on a train when she opened up he blind, she witnessed a murder on another train as it was passing her train. There was no body on the train, and nobody (sorry for the pun) was reported missing so the police think Elspeth's eye's were playing tricks on her! This game does something quite unique, before you go to a different location, you have to read the clues given such as, a town north of the train station, when you locate this town on the map you go to that location. Once at the location you need to first find the item or items that the person you are talking to about the case give you such as a cup of tea. Then you find the rest of the items that are listed to the left of the scene. Some of the HOS were actually scenes where you had to move several items out of the way to uncover the items you needed such as a pile of leaves covering coins and golf balls. This is a really good hidden object game in which you have to solve a murder mystery, what more could you ask for?

World Mosaic fans what have we done to deserve this wonderful gem? This is a very unique game with lot's of special upgrades. The first few games start out with the usual tutorial and a single color, red. The game itself is the same, left click for the tile to be filled in and right click to place a push pen in the spots that don't get filled in. You can rapid fill or push pin by clicking and dragging several tiles at once. After a few games you get two colors, red and blue, BUT you have to unlock the second color (and the rest of the colors later on) by placing the correct filled tile or push pin on the tiles where the keys with that same color are. There are upgrades or bonuses that are unlocked on certain levels. The first one is a paint pallet which will automatically fill in a 9 tile square with the correct colors. The next upgrade is a cross which will fill in tiles in a cross formation and the next bonuses aren't unlocked until level 27 such as a paint can and screen rotations. You start out with 5 magic erasers that will allow you to erase a mistake as if it never happened. Each level is graded with up to 3 stars, the first star you get for completing that game, the second star is given if you get the required amount of points for that game and the third star is given for no mistakes. (If you made a mistake and used the eraser you will still get this star) I think this game is awesome, I love the unlockable color scheme and upgrades, although eventually you will need to pay for extras. Enjoy!

It's certainly going to be hard to top this game folks, it's over the top entertainment! Two handsome Demigods have rescued Leada, a beautiful damsel in distress! Your goal is to clear paths, collect food, manna and Golden sheep, some of which require you to rebuild altars built by gods like Zeus and Aphrodite, to allow you to see these vanishing sheep for 15 seconds at a time. Some altars produce manna, some freeze the clock. You need to build sawmills, sheep farms wheat farms etc. to produce the materials needed for repairs or even to trade materials with the Greek merchants. You fight Cyclops, Hydras and Octopus and even raise the sea floor to allow you to continue along the path of your journey. The graphics are really good and the characters don't continually say "I'm on it" which makes the game really entertaining. I love the Greek Mythology theme and the fact that the goals and characters are unusual, a true adventure that I enjoyed and I think you will agree, enjoy!
I recommend this game!

A wild lightning storm appeared out of nowhere, anything the lightning hit disappeared! The entire town....silent! What's behind all this strange phenomenon is up to you to find out, hopefully before becoming a victim of the storm. I actually bought this game when it was first released and decided to replay the game and give you my opinion for what's it's worth. The game does start out a bit slow, but quickly picks up and the only fault I can find with this game is that there aren't enough areas of interest in each scene, but, it's still a really good game. The hidden object games are very well done and extremely interactive. Most of the scenes require several items to be found and then an action to be preformed such as finding 4 cigars and placing them in a box that requires you to open up a closet, find the cigar box and open the cigar box before placing the cigars. Another feature I liked about this game was with the hint button. If you need a hint during the HOS the lid will pop off the hint jar and show you what to do, BUT, if you don't know what direction to go next and click on the hint jar, it will actually jump you to the exact location and show you what action needs to be preformed! There isn't anything to collect and nothing morphs but it is a very entertaining game, enjoy!

When you arrive at Smalltown the whole town is swarming with ghosts and evil forces. You are the newest member of the Order of Light, sent here to investigate a whole lot of paranormal activity. The organization has equipped you with a ghost catching apparatus and you must search the area whenever the device glows red. Once you spot the ghost, you line the entity up in the crosshairs and zap him! I only wish they made the ghost zip around a little faster for a real challenge. I still think this is a really good game but it lost some (not all) of it's appeal from the CE version which had 100 collectibles and scored your overall game with points and stars. But for the SE price you can't go wrong. The hidden object scenes are interactive list finds and I must admit that I had difficulty finding some of the items. The most unusual mini game in my opinion, was having to group a set of 4 tiles with similar tiles such as a club, a diamond, a spade and a heart. In order to get the tiles into their correct group you had to swap the tiles within the group of 4 and then click on the middle arrows to move the border surrounding each group until the single opening was exposed between the two groups to allow you to switch tiles between those two groups. I really enjoyed this game, and even though I like the CE better because of the unusual out of the box thinking, I still believe this game is worth a shot, enjoy!

A strange man is going around town stealing jewelry from the rich but certainly not giving it to the poor! No, he's using the jewelry to steal body parts, eyes, hair and who knows what other plans he has. The town jeweler has invented a box that turns crystals into other useful items, with any light source, since he's now a victim it's all your's to to make much needed trinkets and gate keys. You will find different blueprints that allow you to make copies of different inventory items needed along the way. There are 25 hidden mask collectibles and a cute ermine that you name and he helps you out with those out of reach areas as well. There are lot's of achievements to earn, I earned 3 achievements on the very first HOS I came across! This game has 3 modes of difficulty and one that allows you to customize everything from objectives to sparkles. I really liked the hidden object scenes, which were mostly list finds, some were even completely interactive where all items require an interaction such as finding a walnut and placing the nut into the nutcrackers mouth to crack open the nut and reveal a ring. There are also "find 15 letters" type HOS as well. The mini game I enjoyed the most was a sketch book that you had to build faces to look like the picture of the victims and the suspect. You can choose the hairstyle, the facial shape, the nose, the shape of the lips and even facial hair. This game has a very interesting story, I don't recall any other game with this type of suspenseful story. I enjoyed playing this game and I recommend that you give it a try, enjoy!

I know some critics of this game complained of it being boring, and I agree, BUT, it certainly doesn't stay boring! The beginning of the game starts out by searching Professor Sylvia Burns' house and it is a bit ho hum, been there done that, but as soon as you drive to the village of Three Stones to investigate the disappearance of Jonathan Ferguson, one of your former students, things escalate quickly. You figure out how Jonathan entered the Three Stones portal and you are once again on an Amarathine Voyage! Once you arrive you find one of the villagers lost beagle, Bonnie, so she's along for the voyage as well helping you out in places you simply won't fit. You find a bow and arrow in the guards room and can use this item for things in a distance. Once the King hears of your arrival he mistakes you for a gift from the Gods, and intends to make you his Queen the very next day! You do some snooping of course and learn that long ago a star fell to the ground and was used to make a Sun diamond and a Moon diamond. The Guardians took the Moon diamond to keep balance of the powers it possessed and the King took the Sun diamond with intentions of ultimate power. Now the Guardians are on your side but want you to go ahead with the wedding so they can trick the King and take away his powers. The scenery in this mysterious mountain is stunningly beautiful and the cinematic's are movie quality. The hidden object scenes have interactive list finds as well as finding the items that match the silhouetted shapes. Each HOS will scan over 3 different areas, so when all the items are found in the first scene, the camera scans a little further to another scene and after those items are found the camera scans to a third and final location. When all three areas are finished, a riddle is presented and you need to find that final item that matches that description. You can opt for a marble popping game instead of a HOS, it is just like Tumblebugs or Zuma and it is actually quite fun. The mini games are good, some difficult some easy such as matching symbols from left to right on 2 cylinder's, the exact shape doesn't matter but the lines from the symbol on the left have to line up with the next symbol and so forth until the final symbol on the right side. Be patient with the first few minutes of this game and I'm sure you will enjoy playing this adventure as much as I did, enjoy!

I have never played any of the Agatha Christie Games, I loved this game and I'm downloading the other available Agatha Christie Games as I write this review! There are the usual hidden objects to find in several rooms, some of the items are a bit small, but that's okay, you get 5 hints on each level which was more than enough. There are pieces of letters and maps scattered throughout some of the rooms that you get to piece back together in a puzzle form. You can visit the Clue room and click on the different characters or suspects to go over the individual clues for that person. I thought it was really unique that you got to click on each suspect and ask that person several questions about his or her whereabouts or how he/she was related to the victim etc. There are mini games where you can match items such as who was asleep at the time of the murder or the other half of this item is missing that matches up to a half of a locket. I was so into this game that I was totally surprised when the demo ended. Give this one a try, it's fun and unique, enjoy!

This is a really cool shooting game BUT apparently I have no skills because I never made it past round 6! Not only did I not beat level 6, I replayed the level over and over and will probably have to buy the game so I'll have enough time to sharpen my weak skills! The object of the game is to shoot various sized balls into small holes, by shooting at an opposite wall so that the ball ricochets off one wall and hopefully into the holes on the other wall. You get more points the faster you complete the level, and more points for shooting bigger balls into smaller holes. The first few levels show you exactly where you need to shoot the laser beam in order for the ball to go through the hole, after that you need to figure out by trial and error. Roboto the evil carnival owner will pop his head out of various holes which will block your shot so you need to time the shot just right. The goal is to get 3 stars on each level, you can replay the level as much as you want and there are bonus rounds between sets where you get a bunch of free-throws. There is an international leaderboard but I don't think I'll be on that list any time soon, enjoy!
