How many times are we going to dust this game off and present it as new? The objects are extremely small so you have to use the zoom in feature and even then most of it's guessing. There are mini games in between that are utterly stupid and the cursor has to be spot on in order to work! I always try to keep an open mind while playing games but my mind couldn't handle this game!
I don't recommend this game.
Build towers, collect crystals, upgrade spells and defend your fortress against pirates!

What a fun game! The first thing you will need to do is determine where to place the crossbows, cannons and various other weapons to defend your castle from the enemy fleet. The entrance is marked with an arrow and the ships will follow the path (in dark blue) and as they intertwine around your weapons they will shoot and as they hit the enemy ship you gain points and the ship looses power until they sink. As you earn more points you will use these points to upgrade the range of fire. You can also choose to build mines that will produce gold desperately needed to buy and upgrade your defense. Spells such as meteoroid showers can be accessed to reign fire balls over the enemy. You will be given the chance to shop with your earned powder kegs after each 5 round battle to increase range of weapons, strength of power or even to reduce cost of the weapons. Go ahead and try this game whether male or female you will become addicted to this game quickly and anticipate your next wave of battle, enjoy!

Your Grandpa founded a Resort called Aurora Peak, a beautiful place to share with the world. After his passing you and your brother have intentions of restoring Aurora Peak but strange glowing crystals are everywhere and the animals and plants have mutated, they have transformed into beautiful glowing cross species. Your brother Alan has sent for you a geologist now, and when you arrive you discover his helicopter has crashed and a man in a hazmat suit has dragged him away and placed him in a cage! If you love colorful crisp graphics you will go bonkers over this game because the flora and fauna are stunningly beautiful, with changing colors and trees that actually breathe. The hidden object scenes are varied between interactive list finds, putting existing inventory items back where they belong and finding the item that matches the silhouetted shape. I liked the mini games as well, especially the one where you had to click different vines surrounding a baby bear cub to release him to get to mama bear but some paths are blocked by stone and vines. I think you will agree this is a great SE and a game well worth the purchase, enjoy!

Granted this mechanical wonderland is not for everyone. The biggest problem with this game is that there isn't enough to do in each scene and it does get dull. This is a FROG type game that you have to assemble fragmented objects together by finding the broken pieces in a hidden object scene. There are only 11 collectable steambugs and you will find most of them in the demo. All the characters seem to have lousy fake accents but at least the expressions and lip movements match well. Mini games are the same ole same ole, swap tiles or find the objects within the dollhouse and put in the dollhouse room it belongs. I don't think this game is worthy of a CE and I personally wouldn't buy it but it wasn't that bad for a free demo.
The fate of the magical world is in your hands – free it from evil!

Fantasy becomes reality when a young woman goes back to her childhood home and with the help of a friendly gnome, enters a portal to Neverland I mean Nearwood! She learns that after her mothers death her father became so distraught that he tried to turn back time but the clock broke and allowed evil to enter the peaceful world of Nearwood. The fantasy themed graphics are crisp and colorful and the video cutscenes are lengthy but does a wonderful job of telling the story. You will collect Snoop See critters in each scene, these are cute fuzzy slugs (best I can describe) and for every 3 Snoop See's you find, you will unlock another page that tells a story about the Snoop See family. The hidden object scenes are find 12 snails and turtles, or find the item that matches the silhouetted shape. There are quality mini games but nothing new, the one I enjoyed the most was creating a path from top to bottom for water and fire to flow by switching tiles with different angles each intermingling with some stationary tiles as well. The only complaint I have is with the map because every area has something waiting to be done the map shows all locations with active areas even if you don't have the inventory item to complete. All in all this is one of the good games, enjoy!

Okay, this wasn't the best game I have ever played, but what's not to like about blowing stuff up? Someone has a good sense of humor to come up with this game. First you select your team by choosing what country you want to be. Upgrades are available as you earn stars to get headgear etc. You place mines strategically on the playing field, to keep the opposing team from making a goal as well as helping your teammates score a goal. Personally I didn't care about making points I just loved seeing everybody blow up all over the field! As you progress you earn other tools like shields to protect your players or speed up a specific player. The graphics aren't anything to write home about but it doesn't really matter just have some fun with it. Enjoy!

Nobody can outdo this developer at scary, creepy, somebody's watching, abandoned building graphics. I guarantee you will feel as if you are the one searching through the dusty hallways filled with creepy and evil puppets and clowns. Although you will find a map shortly after beginning the game you might want to go old school and click your way back and forth to keep that realistic feel. If you are a HOS fan you will be a little disappointed, just a little, there aren't many they are interactive where you might have to zoom into an area or uncover something to find items. There are also "find 12 keys" and they have done a very nice job hiding the items. What lacks in HOS is definitely made up for with mini games and puzzles. Tons of puzzles such as find 12 differences between two pictures or follow the wires back to the switches and click the right switches from left to right. You will also need to collect inventory items in order to re-assemble planes or cakes. This is the kind of game that has you going back and forth as you find inventory items but there is always something that needs to be done in each scene and it really is fun and you will become engrossed in the game. Enjoy!

This is a fast paced game but you have the option of playing in relaxed mode. As customers arrive with different food items on their mind it is up to you to prepare, cook and serve, all while keeping the customer happy! You will click on the pizza to go into the oven and then click on a plate when the pizza is done you drag it to the plate, add the toppings they desire (I have never even thought of putting green beans on my pizza) and drag to the customer and collect their money. They may choose lemonade or pasta or soup and nuggets as well and if you burn something you have to trash it and loose money. There are upgrades where you can buy items to keep your customers happy or charge more for each item. As you progress in the game you can buy a machine that automatically takes money, or one that automatically trashes burnt food and even a machine that makes the pasta and soups. This is a very entertaining game to play, enjoy!

Interesting story, the townspeople of Serpent Creek are holding their annual festival and they have all drank the Kool-Aid only in this case it's Black Mamba (a very deadly snake) You are a detective and are searching for clues on the disappearance of your friend who is a reporter. This is only a SE and I wasn't expecting bells and whistles, the graphics are good not great, the voiceovers aren't bad and you will get an interactive map. If you are a fan of HOS good news, there are a lot of them, they are slightly interactive and have fairly easy to find items. I was also a little impressed by the mini games they are easy but not boring such as reassembling a mechanical mouse with parts of different shapes that had to be turned until all the pieces snapped together. All in all I liked the story therefor I was able to overlook some lower budget flaws. Enjoy!
