What more could we ask for? We have returned from a wedding party only to find our magical dove has been stolen and soon learn that the Kings magical dove has been stolen as well! What is this magical Kingdom coming too? Chaos is everywhere and the people of the Kingdom have been turned to stone and you will need to collect the tiny figures along the way. But wait, you don't have to travel this journey alone, of course you will have a Fairy (with the name you choose# to help you but you're going to need lot's of fairy dust so keep your eyes open. There is also a wee little elf #also to be named) to give you hints should you need them. The game has a customized game difficulty for you to choose sparkles or how long before skipping and you will earn achievements such as not using the hint for help finding an item in the hidden object scenes. The HOS are far and few between and mostly progressive finds where you find one item to be used in the scene like a candle goes into the holder and you find matches to light the candle in order to uncover the next item. So if you like beautiful, vibrant colors in a magical fantasy themed setting then give this game a try, everything about this game is professionally done, enjoy!

I love jigsaw puzzles, I do so many puzzles that I started to preserve them and hang them up, until I ran out of room. That's why people like myself need to make the switch to virtual or computer jigsaws, and the beauty of this game is that you don't have to flip over a million pieces, you don't have to take up table space and this game has an art gallery where I can view my puzzles anytime I want. A cooler concept would be to use my puzzles as screen savers that still look like puzzles not photos. There are good categories such as landscapes or animals, and I did like the fact that you could zoom in and out as well as click and drag the entire puzzle around which gives it a 3D vibe. What I didn't like was the lack of options such as showing only border pieces but maybe I just didn't look hard enough. Enjoy!

Minding my own business in the bookstore when a young lady with an emblem matching the book I was looking at, came strolling in and the next thing I know the two of us are sucked into the witch's portal! Now the witch has her new body and she informs me she is taking the amulets from the book and my only way home, and she's hiding them in different portal worlds. Man I'm having a bad day Now I must travel through portals guarded by the witch's monsters, and the bag of bones gatekeeper needs to be supplied with bling before I can enter! This game is all about the puzzles, there are a ton of em like finding and inserting voodoo needles into a voodoo doll to allow the green slime to travel from needle point to needle point and to the finish with a limited amount of needles. The HOS are a mixture of very interactive list finds and find 12 of a certain item such as piano keys or torn picture fragments. My favorite mini game was a bed of rosebuds with a squared grid around each individual bush, some with one bud others might have 2 or three. The object was to put fertilizer in the lines around the roses to make each bud bloom so if a bush had 3 buds then 3 lines needed fertilizer and the fourth empty, but, the fertilizer is in limited quantity so it has to be precise. Here is a tip: you can scoop up the existing fertilizer in any line you don't have to reset the whole puzzle if you make a mistake. I think this SE is the better buy than CE it is a quality game with quality graphics and cut scenes. Enjoy!

I must admit the first time I played this it seemed stupid, but something kept telling me to give it another try. As I made myself more familiar with the game I began to want more, more monsters, more elusive diamonds, more goals! You must first find out what the goals are for that level, remove a small tree or play a memory game in the castle etc. Things take time, time to bake time to breed, time to hatch a new monster and you will want to come back often to collect money or check up on these not so scary monsters. The more monsters you have the cooler the music which is also strangely addicting and more of a hum with a cool drum tempo. try it, enjoy!

You start out with 100k and wager 1c,5c,10c,25c,50c or 1$ and why not max bet, go big or go home right? (technically you probably are home) Aztec Temple has stone heads and masks and claims there are 243 ways to bet with a top payout award of 2,500. Double Diamonds is the typical bars and cherries slots with a max of 20 lines and top payout award of 10,000. Lucky Lines is a shamrock themed 7's and seems to be the loosest slot with max 20 lines and top payout award of 30,000. Stonehenge is a wild animal themed slot that actually had the best graphics with a max 40 lines and a top payout award of 250. I wish there were video poker and keno options which are more fun. Enjoy!

As a hidden object/adventure game lover I formed an opinion before even playing this game because as each game gets better and better my expectations get higher and higher. This game does indeed have poor graphics but the story is good and I was genuinely entertained. The poor graphics actually worked to an advantage because some items could be well hidden. The HOS are only slightly interactive where you click on a purse for example to open it, there are list finds and fragmented item finds where you find several pieces of one item, and silhouetted finds where you have to match the items to the shadowed item. Puzzles were good, most requiring you to figure out a riddle for instructions or search for clues or patterns. I personally became irritated with the music especially during HOS because it seemed to get louder and the tone changed to a squeaky out of tune mess. I really hope you will give this game a chance before forming an opinion, you might like it, enjoy!

This story starts out with a young wizardess who hates cleaning toilets so she tries to make a toilet cleaning potion, really? The potion fails, and sucks her into a portal and into a floating island of which Gnomes are fighting with imps over their own potions so the young wizard agrees to help them in exchange for helping her get back home to clean toilets. You need to build wells to produce potion bottles of a specific color as well as flower gardens to produce the same colored flower. You need to mix the potion of 3 flowers and 3 potions by clicking on the ingredient and then the cauldron and collecting the colored gems that are produced as well. You can hire extra gnome workers and cast spells and you must collect the ingredients before the slow moving Imps get to it first, but there's also a spell of sludge to slow them down and a spell to speed up the gnomes. I really thought that you would have to mix primary colors in order to get orange potions or purple but apparently that isn't the case. I found the game a bit boring but I really think kids will like this game, enjoy!

Who doesn't love Agent Elf, that adorable little four legged sidekick? This is another fantastic Mystery Trackers, this time we are trying to nab a traitor from within. I think the SE is the better value, if the CE would have had regular morphing object instead of hybrid animals that were too obvious, I would have stated the opposite. The graphics as well as the characters are realistic and crystal clear and the background music did a nice job of setting the mood. You have special powers to use throughout the game like hypnosis and control of fire and ice and you will use items created for agents such as a mystic lens that shows hidden items. The HOS are interactive and each scene has a puzzle that you need to solve after you find the code. The mini games are good and some new such as trying to switch tiles on a flashing movie screen to complete the ever changing clip. There are a lot of things to do in each area and the interactive map is a must so refer to it often if you get stuck, enjoy!

People of all ages are going to enjoy playing this magical match 3 game! Stars have fallen and the wizard Avitus has experimented on an ancient artifact left behind. The results were catastrophic leaving his house in shambles, so you must earn energy points to repair his house. The match 3 game itself is fun and progressively challenging with new bonuses added such as bombs and blocks that freeze time or take out 9 surrounding block tiles. After you clear all the blue tiles you might have to make a match four times of a particular tile or clear all glowing tiles. You have to be quick because new blocked tiles are added while you are playing! You also earn points to have the wizard display a fireworks show and you can earn trophies. A very colorful and light hearted whimsical magical game, enjoy!

Long, long ago mankind and Felize lived in harmony, that is until war broke out and the Felize werecat's were hunted and nearly brought to extinction! Now the Chief Hunter's only daughter, Eveline has fallen in love with a handsome werecat named Aurelio who has been mortally wounded and won't survive unless you find the correct ingredients for the cure. Now you must explore the forbidden forest for the potion but when you meet the Healer she enlightens you about your true identity....In my opinion this is a really good SE game and more of a value than the CE. You still get to collect 70 notes hidden throughout the game as well as glowing orbs to recharge your baby dragon helper/hint icon which apparently loves his belly rubbed! This is mostly an adventure game of which you get to collect ingredients to mix in your cauldron as well as a ton of mini games most of which are fun. There are a ton of puzzles to solve so put on your thinking cap and enjoy!
