I actually liked this game better than the last one of this series! Morana the icy evil witch has kidnapped the goddess of spring casting a never ending brutal winter (who knows what happens to summer and fall) As the child of spring it is up to you to save the people of the village as well as all the cute animals trying to survive a relentless winter. Every scene is chock full of things to do, with a lot of inventory items to find and use as well as hidden pet coins. You find and name a beautiful ermine and use the coins you find to change her looks or add some bling, and there are some inventory items that she can help with by untangling ropes or sharpening sticks! The difficulty mode can be customized to suit you and there are a ton of unique achievements to earn. The HOS are interactive list finds as well as finding the items that match the shape shown in the inventory. You have the option of switching to a match 3 instead of hidden object scenes. The mini games are simple most of which are puzzles, swapping tiles, or turning tiles to complete a picture. This one's a keeper folks. enjoy!

This is a really good TM game with good graphics and you can choose relaxed or timed modes. You must clear paths and repair bridges and you must gather food and supplies and once you clear the paths Hercules will be summoned out of his sleep to lift a heavy boulder or build something of epic proportions, enjoy!

I'm not a fan of of these pictures although I'm sure there will be plenty who do. I enjoy animal and landscape pictures better. With that being said this game has wonderful features such as options for only showing border pieces, sorting and even changing the color of the background. You can have the picture ghosted on the background or show a picture of the puzzle. You can do puzzles of various sizes from New York to London and never have to worry about missing pieces, enjoy!

Obviously the sequel didn't live up to anyone's expectations. The first one did a fantastic job with every aspect of the game, very original, this one, not so original. The graphics aren't spectacular and the story just doesn't grab you hook line and sinker. This game takes place soon after we escape with Marco from the cursed ship and we land on the island where the curse began. The curse will only be lifted if we restore the golden idols that the pirates plundered. The HOS are actually done well, they are interactive list finds and the mini games are fairly simple such as painting different shapes different colors so that no alike colors touch each other. This edition has no idols to find, well actualy they are still there you just can't release hummingbirds and there are no morphs. Still it's entertaining, just not as entertaining as the original, enjoy!

This is a really good large file game with an excellent story about the search for evidence of a 12th planet with alien life and technology that the Germans were trying to acquire during the war. This isn't your typical HOS adventure but it does have enough familiar traits to make it easy to play. There is a lot of dialog reading and it is important to read because those are your basic instructions of where to go and what to do. There will be inventory items to pick up and use along the way and you will need to interact with things just as you would in real life such as answering the phone, pushing doorbells or intercoms. There are interactive HOS some are list finds some you need to place items back into the scene and some are find a certain number of an item. They have done a very nice job of making the player feel like they are actually in the game. The only downside in that at times the game moves a bit too slow but the story line keeps your interest, enjoy!

Cornelius the evil wizard has escaped; could this mean the end of our world and the fairy world? If the graphics had been a tad less cartoonish I would have rated this game higher. Fantasy fans are going to love this adventure with 20 magical creatures to find as well as your freshly hatched baby dragon which you get to name, mine is Chuck Norris! You also befriend a cute raccoon that helps you with those hard to reach areas. Most of the mini games revolve around recharging stones by combining two elements such as ice and fire. After mixing the two elements you need to drag a blue and red electrical charge past fuses of both colors without touching the red charge on the blue fuse and vise versa. You know the evil wizard is near when a strange fog rolls in and starts turning people into living trees which will eventually end both worlds as we know it, enjoy!

You know it's a great game when the demo ends and you were so into the game that it surprises you! There are so many things to do in this game that you can't possibly get bored. Each statue has 14 levels and when you complete the levels you are awarded a heart and when all the hearts are collected the truth will be revealed about who you really are! There is no time limit but you are awarded if you reach bronze, silver, or gold times, you can also re-play the level to try to earn a higher score. My favorite match was trying to capture the frogs by matching the colored gems they are on but they keep jumping. The money you earn can be used to buy upgrades in the shop and there are way too many available to list so I suggest you start playing, enjoy!

I wasn't expecting this to be a decent game, turns out I was wrong. The graphics aren't the most detailed but they are clear so I'm okay with that because it has a pretty good story line. Dr. Goodwin has invented a cure for that, and by that I mean it cures everything! Problem is the lab has been blown up, is it an accident or sabotage? Now we are searching for survivors and hopefully find the formula for the cure, and we run into a slight glitch....a monster with super human strength, is it Dr. Goodwin? Is it his assistant? As you investigate the lab you will find a ton of mini-games. Most of the games are the kind where you move one piece and it also moves several other pieces but they are doable and most are fun. The HOS are far and few between and they are just list finds. You get to collect 14 radioactive items as well as 7 Dr. Goodwin awards, there may be more in the full version! This is a good value in my opinion for a standard release only game, enjoy!

True there are Halloween pictures in this box but most of the puzzles are just nice fall scenes. There is a good variety of puzzles with a good variety of sizes too. You can choose options such as showing the border only, sorting the pieces, showing the picture or changing the color of the background. There is a timer and you can earn trophies as well. There are 4 boxes each filled with several scenes to choose from so enjoy!

Your niece Emmy has gone into a deep coma and now you must enter her dreams/nightmares to guide her back. Barry her favorite Teddy Bear is also along for the ride and in Emmy's dreams, Barry can talk so at least your not alone on this creepy journey! An evil girl has taken over Emmy's beautiful dreams and turned them into dreadful nightmares, and as you return bits and pieces of the nightmare back to their original state Emmy starts to improve. This is a good game, very easy to play, but personally I'm not impressed with the graphics. The HOS are slightly interactive list finds and they are very easy as well. The mini games are entertaining, some new some old some easy some require you to put on your thinking cap. One puzzle requires you to read a couple of clues about team placement that goes by color and you have to figure out which color is first, second etc. some are simple pictures that you complete by swapping tiles. Enjoy!
