You have been helping your Uncle build a replica of an ancient portal, but you don't know how to activate it. A strange dream that your Uncle is in trouble has you panic stricken so you travel through the night to make sure he's okay. You arrive too late, he's already learned how to activate the portal, even worse, he went alone and now you must enter the portal and try to find him in a strange hostel world. I haven't changed my mind, I still think this is an awesome game but I will admit I like all the goodies of the CE better. You will find an artifact that will help you during your travels with lighting up entire rooms or making plants grow faster and as you find new elements, they will automatically update your artifact. The HOS are a nice mixture of interactive list finds as well as finding items that look like the picture and find 12 of the same items. There are a lot of unusual mini games such as a pic cross game with tiles as well as some standard puzzles, moving horizontal stones right and left to achieve a picture of a phoenix bird on a pillar but when you move one tile, others move as well. I love the theme of traveling through an alien world and in my opinion this is a very entertaining game, enjoy!
I recommend this game!

Eccentric Edmond has gone off the deep end when his childhood sweetheart says yes, the problem is that she isn't marrying Edmond! There are strange creatures and giant angry plants coming to life from the murals Edmond has been painting, is there any way of stopping him? My favorite part of this game is finding the 30 collectible birds hidden throughout the game, I wish they would've named them, but they were beautiful. The HOS were a hodgepodge mixture of find 12 of the same item, finding items that matched the silhouetted shapes, and replacing items back into the scene where they belong. The mini games are good, my favorite one was matching tiles with different colored arrows on each side and you have to match the identical colored arrows on all 4 sides. This is a good game, just nothing to blow you away, but still entertaining, enjoy!

An ole college buddy and his wife invite you to Brownville with the promise of a job. Things aren't right and almost immediately you are warned to leave by a card wielding woman who warns that Brownville isn't safe! You need a job so you meet up at a house of cards and when the boss asks you to play a game of cards, how can you refuse? I'm going to give this game kudos for out of the box thinking. Magic surrounds those cards and you soon realize the stakes are high, you and your friends must all survive in a strange, unfamiliar world, or you will all die! You need to find magic cards and activate them in order to progress to the next deadly level and hopefully win the game. You will find and name a cute purple rabbit/puppy that can help you with some out of reach inventory items. The HOS are very interactive list finds with most of the interactions requiring more than one step. Most of the mini games are new, the one I liked the best was using directional arrows to guide a frog into lily pads with quite a difficult pattern, this one took me a few tries. Again, kudos to the developer, enjoy!Show Less

I really wanted to like this game, unfortunately the only thing I actually enjoyed were the mini games. The hidden objects aren't "hidden" they are just microscopic. There are hidden stars that you can find in each scene to refill the hint button but there is a maximum of 6 so basically when you play the mini games you are supposed to receive 2 clues or hints but if you have 6 hints already, you get nothing. There are several mini games to play such as a game of sliders and blocks where you have to move pizza's of different shapes in order to slide the selected larger pizza into the oven.
I don't recommend this game.

What a great concept, brain exercises! You can exercise any targeted area of your brain with simple brain training games. Everything is a game and most exercises are fun, when you are finished with a complete lesson the results may surprise you. Most are simple and short games such as spelling words out of falling letters as quickly as you can or selecting the correct shape after it has been flipped around.
I recommend this game!

Hold on to your computer chair folks, yep, it's epic! There are millions of evil red eyed crows attacking everything that moves so if you have a phobia, close your eyes! Everyone else keep your eyes wide open and hang on to your mouse. (it will help trust me) This is one of the most professional and thought out games I have seen in a long time, they have paid so much attention to detail. There are 33 hidden squirrels to find as well as 9 collectible statues, and a bunch of achievements to earn such as finishing a mini game without reading instructions. The HOS are progressive finds, you find the first item which is then used to find the next object as so forth. Most of the mini games are actually within the HOS, small puzzles within that require you to open discs and match identical pairs for example. I can't think of a single complaint, this is my favorite genre, the graphics are some of the best I've seen and there are so many activities in each scene that surely you won't get bored, enjoy!
I recommend this game!

This is a match 3 game with a twist, most match 3 games require you to clear away all of the tiles until the background tiles are the same color, not this one. You need match 3 or more in any sequence by clicking and dragging, to allow the purple magic smoke to be released and continuing along the game board until it reaches the magic emblem. Problem is that some stones can't be moved but rather dropped by making matches below, others require to dig them up with a rechargable spade. There are pipes that need to be fixed to allow the smoke to pass through and various obstacles. This is a really fun game that will have you playing for hours.
I recommend this game!

I'm going to be honest, I have no idea what the object of this game is. It starts out with 2 kids and the little boy is given a horrible speech impediment, how horrible is that? The little sister is then coaxed to enter the sewers alone to save a third unbeknownst character. You either use the keyboard (how archaic) or the mouse to move the princess along, finding treasures in the sewers and fighting rats! This seems like a very old game that has been dusted off because it was long forgotten.
I don't recommend this game.

What a fantastic game with a fantastic story! The Guardian Army has returned from the Crusades and are fighting a war to protect a sacred amulet. The Guardians called for the dark side to open, but the dark side shows no mercy and destroys everyone. Only 9 survive and retreat into the fortress, never to return. As the descendant of the Guardians it is up to you to enter the fortress and use the amulet to close the dark side and save Prague from evil. I couldn't help but feel as if I were actually searching this long abandoned fortress myself which is a testament to how professionally produced this game actually is. The HOS were very well done and are interactive list finds. I will admit that I skipped a few puzzles just before pulling my hair out! You will receive an amulet from one of the dearly departed Guardians, which will allow you to "see" hidden clan symbols. I really liked this game and think that the SE is the better buy, enjoy!
