An obsessed scientist has been studying dreams all his life and has invented a device that will allow dreams to be reality. Unfortunately for the village of Mont Triste the experiment goes wrong, terribly wrong and the Lord of Nightmares has been unleashed! The only way to help the sleeping victims is to enter their nightmares through a portal and restore their nightmares into dreams. The graphics are very well done and there are 21 hidden goblins or gargoyles to find and achievements to earn. I found most of the puzzles to be the frustrating, want to pull your hair out kind but the HOS were well done, interactive, and fun. There are plenty of things to do in each scene and there is a map that shows areas of interest. Other than some of the puzzles being a bit too puzzling at times I think this game delivers great entertainment, enjoy!

If you are a fan of magic themed games with goblins, elves,fairies and unicorns, then this game will tickle your fancy as well! This is a story of two son's who shared the Kingdom, one ruling the West the other East. The story centers around two magical doves, one of which has been stolen, and if either dove falls into the hands of evil it will cause impending disaster for the entire Kingdom. By your side during this investigation is a beautiful fairy that you get to name and a hint/elf. The fairy will need magical potions and you will need to find a golden arrow for each hint you use but the elf will point you in the right direction free of charge. Something evil is turning everyone he meets into stone statues and you need to collect all 15 statues which will be kept in a special box that you will find at the start of your adventure. The HOS are progressive sihouetted items where the first item you find to match the shadow of your inventory list will be used in the scene to find the next item. Some of the HOS are find 15 rings etc. and they aren't too difficult and actually fun. The puzzles are good. Most puzzles are new and different, some require a thinking cap others are simple but still enjoyable to work out. One of the puzzles I liked was puzzle pieces that had round edges as well as pointed edges and needed to be placed onto a web like board each picture was a single image so none overlapped, it was simple but still required some trial and error thinking. Another feature I liked on this game was the ability to customize the difficulty mode, you could choose sparkles on HOS or areas of interest, or penalty clicks or how long the hint and skip buttons recharged if any. This is a very lighthearted game that delivers solid entertainment, enjoy!

Welcome to the Final Journey Hotel where the guests are hauntingly familiar! Someone has been murdering the unusual guests, vampires, werewolves and even voodoo masters have fallen prey to something very sinister in this haunted hotel. It seems like it's been forever since a quality hidden object game of this caliber has been released and this one's on the top of my list. I couldn't help but notice the exceptional HD quality right from the get go in the introduction trailer. I knew I was in for a treat, the graphics are so realistic it felt like I was there and no time was wasted getting to the first HOS as I retrieved a medical bag for my assistant. I would sure like to know what pills my assistant gave the young hotel worker who was so upset by the monsters fighting in the hotel that she couldn't speak and then instantly cured and spilling her guts!? This game has a little bit of everything and there are several things to do in each scene, some of which requires you to put on your thinking cap as to what do next. There are achievements to earn, not just the usual achievements but some out of the ordinary goals to achieve but I won't spoil it for you. There are 15 collectible monster portraits to find throughout the hotel and each portrait has a brief description about that monster and you can watch a movie clip about each monster which is kept in your journal. There is a bonus game available, more puzzles, wallpaper and a secret room available in the full version which is one of the reasons I intend to buy this game. This developer has delivered us another well produced HOPA game to add to our collection and so far it looks like it might just make it to the top of the list, enjoy!

I did like the HD quality of the jewels, however as the levels progressed and new jewels were added, I found some of the jewels hard to match because they looked too much alike. If you fill up the meters of certain jewels your bonuses increase. You can play timed or zen mode, freeplay, adventure and relaxing modes. After you match 3 onto all the pink squares a brick will appear and once you bring the brick to the bottom by matching under it, you can use that brick or bricks to rebuild the city. Mini games have to be played for the blueprints and if you upgrade the buildings you also upgrade the bonuses. If you make large matches you receive potions within the game that knock out portions of tiles when used. Enjoy!

A refreshing change from the same ole same ole match 3 games. A nice adventure story that continues briefly after each set about a daughter's quest to find her kidnapped father both of which are vampires. There are muddy tiles to match over, lock and key matches hidden tiles and much more. The tiles are colorful and the levels quickly progress to keep your interest. You earn and then charge talismans of bombs, hammers, directional etc. and you earn achievements of expert time, finishing before the sun comes up or large matches. There are also battles fought with ghosts and slimy creatures. This is a really entertaining match 3 game so enjoy!

Pinch me I must be dreaming! I have a feeling World Mosaic fans are going to crash the site with all the downloading of this game, the long awaited number 7! I don't know how it's possible, but the graphics are way better on this edition. As with the previous versions, you get a grid of different sizes such as a 10x10. There are a certain amount of tiles to be filled in with light tiles as indicated vertically as well as horizontally and once you figure out what the possible combinations are you use push pins to show where each combination ends and as each of the numbers have been filled, you simply use push pins as the numbers are filled to eliminate possible tiles. If you have never played a piccross game this will sound confusing but the tutorials on all Mosaic games explain everything quite well and you will be hooked after a few puzzles are completed and like me will be patiently waiting for # 8, enjoy!

I just spent an hour playing a game I thought I would hate, who knew Lagoona 2 would be so fun! There is so must to do in this game, first of all the HOS are unique. Each scene has list items, shadowed items,fragments and a riddled item find. Each scene has jewels to find which allows you to play a mini game in each scene by clicking on the puzzle piece. Each scene has picture pieces to collect from all of the hidden object scenes combined and each scene let's you click on any food like ice cream or strawberries which are not on your list. These collected food items are used to feed the sea ponies which is an ongoing TM process. Each scene has a swimming rainbow fish that when clicked on finds an item of his choice. After each HOS you will stack shapes that represents each item you find onto a grid. You can choose to place these items yourself or auto fill. These items go to an ongoing market to sell and the window is displayed on the left of the screen to show you how much money you are making. You then take that money and choose upgrades throughout the amusement park. You are given different quests and if you accept the quests to find those items as well, they are displayed in a box to the right of your hidden object list so don't forget to look for those items as well. There are lot's of achievements to earn and I think I have covered every aspect of the game by now, so go play and enjoy!

Putt-Putt the car is super excited today, it's the grand opening of the zoo! When Putt-Putt and Pep his dog arrive at the zoo Outback Al tells him the zoo can't be opened until all the repairs are made and all the lost baby zoo animals are found. Putt-Putt volunteers to help find the lost zoo animals and his adventure begins! Very young children might need your help to guide Putt-Putt by clicking on the road in the direction you want him to go but almost everything you click on will react, flowers chime and morph, ant hills put on a show of flying ants, trees display animated shapes and more. Putt-Putt will read any words you click on at signs or at various shops along the way. There are rhyming monkeys and mini games along the way such as clicking on 5 rhinos and 6 zebras. There are supply's to pick up along the way and hidden doors to open. This game is fun enough for young kids and maybe even fun enough for adults to join in, enjoy!

I liked the fact that this isn't just mahjong with a shuffle button! You uncover bonus tiles, a magnifying glass to use for a hint, a hammer to get rid of one tile, a tornado to mix the tiles up and a bomb to use to destroy 6 random tiles. I was also impressed with the variety of patterns available. The tiles are large enough to see and to be able to distinguish between the patterns. The only complaint I can think of was the music was a bit overbearing, other than that this is a good mahjong game, enjoy!

I was really disappointed in this game. The graphics were bland, no exciting music and I had to choose between purchasing extra lives or ending the tutorial. Everything was smooth sailing after that and I was actually enjoying the game once I got the hang of it! You earn 3 stars per game if you don't make any mistakes and the stars are taken away for each mistake, if you want to re-play or start over it costs you a life. There are also achievements to earn. I finished every puzzle in the first room for a total of 36 and then I found out that room 2 requires a VIP pass. Guess what? A VIP has to be purchased! However, I get it, I understand this concept but if I'm going to have to purchase to play more I would choose a different game with a better story and more colorful graphics.
I recommend this game!
