Another good Christmas themed hidden object game. Each scene is colorful and bright although the objects tend to be small. There are interactions to preform such as finding a lever to turn the lights on or donating money to charity. The mini games are easy, the ones I like are spotting the differences between two almost identical pictures. Have fun while you get into the spirit, enjoy!

Apparently when the Prince is looking for his bride, he shoots a silver arrow into the sky and whichever fair maiden's window it lands in, he is to marry her! Let's hope everyone get's this memo and stands clear, and what happens when it lands in the window of say a knight in shining armor? Anyway this is a great sequel with beautiful graphics and lot's of exotic animals including Romas a lingbeast that can interpret any language, human or animal. There are hidden pearls to collect of which can be spent to clean and repair the castle tower, and achievements to earn as well. The HOS are a hodgepodge mixture some of which are items to be returned to their proper place in the scene others are finding items that match the silhouetted shape in the inventory bar and then using those items to interact with other items in the scene which will expose the next item and so forth, All of the mini games are designed to be doable yet entertaining such as swapping hexagon shaped tiles or rotating tile to complete a picture. This is one of those professional, well produced fairy tale fantasy games and a Big Fish Keeper, enjoy!

First of all I thought this TD game was almost too easy, but I think it's because the levels progress in difficulty just a wee bit at a time, which gives the player more time to adjust to the mechanics of the game. The graphics are much larger than typical defense games, which I kind of enjoyed because it is easier to identify the weapons on the field. Everything else about the game was typical, you buy and build weapons that destroy the enemy along a path to your castle and each wave sends bigger, stronger soldiers. Some of the soldiers are on horseback which is horrible, you can hear the horses cry out as they are being shot! Nice game other than that, enjoy!
I recommend this game!

Fantastic game,even without the one eyed creepy crawlers collectibles, Another mad scientist/inventor has wreaked havoc on what should have been a beautiful wedding day. The greedy scientist has poisoned your future mother-in law (this is actually a bad thing) and kidnapped your fiance through a dimensional portal! Now it's up to you to finish the poison antidote, and find a way through the portal to save your man. A mechanical dragonfly will allow you to convert the poison gas into a viable source of energy and there are lot's of mechanical gadgets to figure out. The HOS are very interactive, many things can be interacted with, pet the kitty's belly or pull the lever on the bed to expose a storage place under the bed! The mini games are fun, I liked the one where you had to align the planets in pairs, when you move one pair, others will move as well. This is an entertaining game that will keep your interest from start to finish, enjoy!
I recommend this game!

Yep, I thought this was going to be a lame, cartoonish TM game. I was wrong. This TM game takes place under the sea, and I really liked the scenery change of pace. When the level begins you have a small circle with items to collect such as kelp, rocks, and branches and as you collect these items the circle or playing field becomes bigger and bigger. As you progress there will be sea cows blocking the path or octopus and piranha to chase off. You must build sawmills, pearl factories, crab shacks and more to produce the materials needed for the tasks at hand. There are hidden artifacts to find in each level and diamonds and pearls are scattered about to collect. What a refreshing change of pace, I could get used to this, enjoy!
I recommend this game!

I didn't see much fog in this game, but it is by far one of the best no frills hidden object games I have played in a long time. Seriously, this is my kind of game! The introduction trailer alone was fantastic, creepy and eerie, no words of explanation needed, it made me sense the fear in the atmosphere as I watched a mysterious man drag a tire spike to the middle of the road just before a mother and her young child are about to arrive at that very area! The road is in the middle of nowhere, not a car or person in sight, and then the unthinkable....the car spirals out of control and crashes. The driver wakes up, injured and foggy, what happened? The panic sets in when she realizes her daughter is gone! The story alone was enough to convince me to buy this one and I actually like the no frills approach, no collections, no morphing, no transport map, that's right, you'll have to go old school and travel back and forth from room to room, front yard to back but it somehow just makes it creepier. The hidden object scenes are interactive and very well done, some items are extremely well hidden and the interactive areas require a little thought as to what and where they are used. The mini games are fairly easy, most are codes that are used after you discover them throughout the game others are flipping tiles to change all to a certain color but each tile may turn several other tiles. You will discover an interactive box that has several compartments and as you find the parts throughout the adventure you can open up these compartments one by one. I know this is a stand alone standard edition but it's well produced without glitches and well worth the buy, enjoy!

I love this game, great graphics and just the right amount of challenge. Finally a TM game with with a drag and click format, but plan your lot's carefully because larger building require larger lot's and if you buy a smaller building make sure it won't interfere with the placement of the next building. If you don't have enough room you will have to destroy existing buildings and rebuild them in another place which will cost time and money. I liked the assortment of tasks and the fact that your goal was to make the property more valuable by adding more luxury. If you are getting bored with the same old TM games, don't give up, give in and try this game!

A long, long time ago a young Noble fell deeply in love with a beautiful and fair maiden. But fate can be cruel and the Nobel man's heart would forever be broken for you see, the beautiful maiden's life was far too short! The Noble became insane with grief and his beliefs that someday his fair maiden would be reincarnated. Now he relentlessly searches for his love, kidnapping innocent women of the same age, with hopes of finding the right one, but this time it's your sister who is the Crooked Man's victim! Similar to the Dark Parables style you will find stunningly crisp yet dark graphics charming fairy tale music and the famous fragmented hidden object scenes where you must find several fragmented pieces of a single object. There are lot's of mini games, more so than HOS and most are new and have a fairy tale twist. I enjoyed the three blind mice game where you had to interact with the scene to guide the mice through obstacles and into their home. I purchased the CE because of the extras and because I love this game and was too impatient to wait. I know you'll enjoy this game as well.
I recommend this game!

I will admit that there are more interesting themes of TM games out there but apples for apples, if you enjoy the house decorating genre, then this is an entertaining game. The goal of this game is to redecorate houses and use the recovered resources and decorations to restore a mansion. The game actually revolves around a reality TV show but it isn't really relative to the gameplay. You must finish the list of tasks given for each level for example you might have to clear 7 piles of debris in order to get to the sites that are available to construct the buildings that produce the resources of which you need a specific amount. There is a good tutorial in the beginning that will take you step by step so no worries if you aren't familiar with the time management games, enjoy!
You're called to a health spa in the Alps, where an evil professor has something terrible in mind for his unwitting patients.

The Agency (AKA Me!) has taken on a new case at the sanatorium in the Alps. An evil professor has invented a mind control device that can manipulate your thoughts and ideas to one's that better suit his ideas of world supremacy. Things go wrong as they sometimes do, and you wake up in a strange and twisted anomaly of a world. You must escape this paranormal mind prison before it's too late! Hopefully this is enough to convince you on this game, if not, how about 31 collectible and not so easy to find canes, each with their own identity such as the octopus hug! Of course there are achievements to earn, contained in snow globes, and one of the widest assortments of HOS around. There are the usual list finds, finding and placing tools back in to their proper cases, finding items that match their silhouetted shapes and placing inventory items back into the scene where they belong. And that's just in the demo folks! Mini games are good, most new or twists on older versions. The puzzle I enjoyed the most was where you had to guide a chain latch on a door through a labyrinth maze and when you got to the end a second maze would open up and you had to continue guiding the chain through a total of 4 separate mazes. If you are an Agent like myself ( I don't like to brag but I have solved a ton of cases lol) or just playing for fun, this game should be at the top of your list!
I recommend this game!
