Time to investigate the murder of a millionaire, and that creepy little evil bald guy is the prime suspect! This is yet another Haunted Legends great! The graphics are great and the fun factor is high. The HOS are interactive and a mixture of list finds and progressive finds where you find the first silhouetted item and use that item in the scene to earn the next item. There aren't many puzzles or mini games with the exception of a few mini games within the HOS, but most are simple such as trying to close the claws of 2 eagles grasping a shield but when you click on one claw others might be affected. Although the CE has a ton of extras to collect and do, this is still a really fun game and well worth the SE price, enjoy!
I recommend this game!

The only complaint I can come up with is...okay I can't think of any! I was happy to see my faithful and talented Elf the dog was back to help and I can even visit the store to buy Elf some bling. This is a gem of a game, a little shy on the HOS there aren't a whole lot of them but they are interactive such as when you are rescuing the police officer after he plummets off a cliff, you pick up a first aid kit to bandage him up and he will in turn hand you an item from the list, some interaction I don't believe I have seen in a hidden object scene. The colors are vibrant and crisp, there are really cool achievements to earn and you will collect 15 "lost" pets that belong to your fellow agents whom have been attacked. As you come across various weapons, agents, pets and equipment, a window will pop up explaining the name and purpose or any special abilities they may have. Each agent and their lab created pet has hidden sixth sense abilities such as starting fires or becoming invisible! The map is really detailed and you can use it for traveling, but this game can be a little of a challenge for newbies because unlike most games where you know you will find and use a lighter to light something, this game is creative and you will have to put on your thinking cap for this one. There is so much to this game and I really hope you will try this one, it's a big fish keeper, enjoy!

This game is so much more realistic with normal goals and tasks and the graphics are crisp and detailed. The tutorial does an excellent job explaining the basics of the game so even a novice first timer will quickly learn how to play. You will collect rent on houses you own and some houses need painted and you get to choose the color! Curb appeal needs to be high and you may need to upgrade a house with 1-3 stars to get a higher rent amount. You can buy existing houses and if there are many houses in the area for sale you can offer them less than the asking price, and you can sell houses to get more money. Some houses need repaired and you must order materials and workers. I have already bought this game, I was so impressed with it, so check it out it's a good one!

The graphics on these TM games are getting better with every new release! Your Kingdom and it's people must now learn to live amongst the dragons or face angering them and becoming their next meal! Cute story and two modes of play, Adventure mode which requires you to fulfill the tasks during the allotted time and, Casual of which you can take your own sweet time and enjoy the game. Either way, this is an excellent adventure game where you must hire workers to collect taxes (yep even virtual citizens have to pay taxes) and according to the task at hand you use that money to buy housing or buildings that make materials etc. Some buildings require money and material for example you hire workers to build a stone quarry which in turn produces the material you need to build a house and so forth. Go ahead and start your own dragon Kingdom, enjoy!

Now you can play Mahjong at work without feeling guilty lol! This is a really nice mahjong game that gives you 1-3 stars per level and you start out on a tutorial level and advance up the ranks such as shark. There is a lightbulb icon that shows which tiles are available and a shuffle icon as well. Goals are given at the start of each level and basically you want to match tiles as quickly as possible. Bonus tiles are also available to fill the shuffle etc. The tiles are easy to see and are a nice size making this game a winner in my book, enjoy!

You find out that you are the Descendant of the Sun and must embark on a journey to save the world! This is a game that has okay, but simple graphics, and starts out very slow but picks up once the journey begins. The HOS are just barely interactive and somewhat difficult because of poor graphics. The puzzles are different and some are fun such as matching medicine bottles on a shelf but the bottles are in dark cubicles and only light up when you click on the bottles. This is not a bad game but if you don't use the map to know where and what to do it will be a difficult game with a lot of back and forth traveling. Enjoy saving humanity!

I'll tell you what it is, it is a cheaply produced game with so so graphics, BUT, what a fun game! It is only a SE but you get to collect hidden coins, you earn achievements and best of all the HOS are the coolest ever! Items in the hidden object scenes morph and you must wait for the item to morph into the correct object to click on it and there are several morphing objects in each scene I must be dreaming! The mini games are also fun and a few of them are new as well. There is a map for traveling and you have a powerful alchemist glove to help you in battles. Oh there's more...you will come across a surprise box, if you complete the puzzle inside correctly you get an extra hint because they do cost you if you use them. The story is really obsolete and the characters are ugly and cartoonish but who cares? This game is fun, enjoy!

Grandpa was financially well off so he built his own garden of Eden for all the world to enjoy called Aurora Peak. Now that he has passed away, his grandson and granddaughter are restoring the resort. The game starts out with the grandson crashing the helicopter into a magical mystical mutated forest and a person in a hazmat suit has taken him! You play the role of the sister who is a geologist now searching for her brother but getting very distracted by the beautiful glowing flowers and mutated wildlife. The graphics are beautiful and crisp and the production is professional with good voiceovers. There is so much color and detail in every plant and animal! This is more of an adventure because the HOS are few and far between but they are interactive and a mixture of list, progressive find and silhouette. what it lacks in hidden objects it makes up for in the puzzle department, there are a ton of puzzles some complicated but most are simple and fun such as moving puzzle tiles to form 2 separate pictures on the left and right columns storing some of the pieces in an empty slot while you fill the bottom and top of the pillars before filling the middle pieces. You will have a map and an objective icon and can earn achievements. But my favorite part is the morphing objects which are very well done and not so easy to find with all the glowing crystals and colorful plants! Trust me, you can skip the demo and go straight to the purchase with this one, enjoy!

The Queen has chosen your beautiful sister (that must mean I'm ugly) to be her successor, but you soon find out it's a trap and off you go to save her! This is a beautiful, well done fairy tale with detailed graphics and voiceovers. There are a lot of things to do in each scene so there is no chance for boredom. The HOS are interactive and the items are fairly easy to find. I have to admit that some of the mini games are a wee bit trying but there are a lot of new puzzles and most are fun. You will find and name a cute little squirrel and coins to buy him a new home and bed etc. and he will be there for you whenever you need a little help. An excellent game in both the CE and SE. Enjoy!

This is a very well done TM game that is very different than most. There is a tutorial that does a nice job teaching even the most novice player, there are achievements and bonuses available as well. Customers will arrive at the bakery window with a picture above them telling you what item they want and a meter to show how happy they are, if they start to get mad for waiting too long you can offer them a free cookie but they are limited. You will place the ordered item onto the dough machine which allows up to 3 orders and when the dough is ready you right click to send it to the oven only one per oven. Some of the baked goods will need iced or sprinkled or even both before serving and there is a coffee machine as well. After each level there is a mini game some are hidden objects some are repairs like connecting pipes to allow water flow. You can also trade the postman baked goods for upgrades. A really fast paced and fun game to play!
