I guess I am going to have to go against the grain from everybody else because I thought this was the weirdest game I have every played. You start out on a flying streetcar driven by the boyfriend you dumped several years ago, he tells you to jump off and you comply only to be awoken by a phone call asking you to meet an investigator about the mysterious disappearance of said boyfriend. But that's not the weird part, when you meet the investigator she goes into a trance rambling on about a short guy with a mask so you use hypnosis to help her and poof....you are in her dreams you find a bullet put it into a giant gun and fire into the window of a building and out pops a little man in chains with no legs and now comes the weird part, you fight him! yep the battle is on and you have to click on your circle and click on his circle and you win crystals to buy sleazy outfits for Maya! Next up a giant hand and naked mannequin and that's all the further I got. The end.
I recommend this game!

Lately the TM games have been pretty much alike but this one is really fun with lot's of things to do. You will travel to Alaska to try to earn some money because your parents family business is going bankrupt. You will become assistant to the Mayor and will need to hire workers to pan for gold, collect food and resources, trade with the local Indians and clear away rocks and patch holes and watch out for the coyotes....they will need to be scared away from time to time! You can play in timed mode or relax mode and the tutorial at the beginning does a good job of explaining how the game works and how to follow the tasks given. You earn 1-3 stars in each level and then use the stars to tidy up and improve the crumbling town you now call home. Good graphics and easy instructions make this game a winner, enjoy!

I am a big fan of the Dark Dimension series and I purchased this game in the CE and I should have waited for this version. It is a short game compared to other games but it has a good story, and they have done a great job with the graphics and the vibe is done so well that you will feel like you are alone and walking through a city crumbling and full of ashes. The golden animals that you collect in the CE are still there but will simply disappear when you click on them. I like the fact that there are several tasks and inventory items to find in each scene, there is just the right mixture of HOS and mini games which are enjoyable to do and won't leave you wanting to pull your hair out waiting for the skip button. There is a very good map for traveling and it will have an exclamation indicating an active task so you probably won't need to use a hint button. A good story and a fun game, enjoy!

You are known around the globe for your healing powers and you have been summoned by the Emperor's brother to heal the Emperor's son before he returns. You will need to travel to the palace and examine evidence with your kit as well as activating your healing powers through rituals. The story is intriguing and the graphics can be set in HD. There are over 40 hidden cranes to find and some are very well hidden. The HOS are fairly easy and they are interactive. The mini games are pretty simple as well such as arranging numbered weights to add up to the bottom number of that column. This is a different vibe and you will enjoy this game.

Although this is your typical TM game, it has just enough differences to make this a stand out game. First of all it has a good storyline about an adventurous man who sets sail on a hot air balloon that crashes into an island where the Moai live. They believe he is the hero they have been waiting for to save their island and their people from self destruction. They have used up most of their resources especially wood from the dwindling trees. The graphics are superior even though it is cartoonish. you will have a task list that is easy to read and it includes such things as building 4 fields for food and collect 100 pieces of wood, and there is a timer. When you click on an available action such as an empty lot, a circle will appear with a few different options such as food or stone so everything is easier to accomplish rather than clicking on several options spread all over the board. After each level completed you earn stars that will carve the stone around an idol that when completed will allow you to unlock more areas. A really fun game so start building and enjoy!

Monica Smith was willing to do ANYTHING to save her twin sister Anna so she bought a magical mirror at an antique store and summoned the wicked witch Sybil. Sybil agreed to cure Anna in exchange for her youthful soul, but the newly cured Anna goes after her sister through the magical mirror portal to a beautiful and magical world. She meets a hansom Prince Addris who is willing to help her defeat the witch, find her sister and restore his kingdom and gives Anna a magical Amulet of the Elements to protect her against evil magic such as smoke and fire. You will have plenty of tasks in each scene to keep you busy and you will help animals along the journey and occasionally help a clever rhyming troll who can't seem to stay out of trouble! The HOS are a bit different some will require you to pair alike items such as a stamp and an envelope, others will have you find 12 toys and some are continuing finds where you find a silhouetted item then you place that item where it belongs to find the next item. The mini games are clever twists on familiar games such as a scorpion in a maze of doors with the goal of getting to the finish line but when you go through the doors, some close behind you and others only open one way so put on your thinking cap! The only complaint is with the map, you have to open up your journal and then click on the map and by the time you do that you could have just walked there. Cudos on this game it's a winner, enjoy!

That's right hidden object puzzle adventurers this is a superior game with a great story that ties into the previous Witch's Legacy yet stands well on it's own to allow those who haven't played the other game to enjoy this one. The graphics are crisp and the voiceovers well done and there are 4 settings to choose from including a custom setting to opt for sparkles or how long the hint button recharges, and that's just the beginning! At the start of the game you will find and name a tiny little imp that will help you during the game but don't worry you don't have to dress him but you will earn achievements for interacting with him as well as using him to complete 11 different quests. To all you morphing object fans (myself included) there are a whopping 42 very well done morphs to find some of which are in the zoomed in areas so pay attention. To all the fans of collectables you will find 45 puzzle pieces which will be used in the bonus AND if you don't find them all the first time around you can replay the game and just search for the puzzle pieces, how cool is that! There are 27 hidden object scenes and they are interactive or you can opt to switch to a matching game instead. There are 29 mini games to play and so far none of them are too difficult and most are fun. You will also get an achievement for overcoming 5 different magical objects such as getting through a door that has been sealed with magic. As I said before this game is chock full of extras there is no way you won't like this game and the CE has wallpapers, screensavers bonus play and puzzles so stop reading and download the game, enjoy!

This is a slow moving typical slots game. I will say that the graphics are HD, very colorful and crisp but two of the games are almost identical (7's) one of which I never lost a single hand on max bet and if you win every hand what's the point it's only fake money to begin with. The Cleopatra game did give you several lines to choose from and the game with the lions roaring was a little more fun but had less of a fake payout.
I don't recommend this game.

This game is definitely thinking outside the box so for that reason alone I am giving it four stars. You are given the choice of several murders to choose and then you interview each witness individually as they give you the first part of their sentence you must match the item they are talking about by picking that item out of several items scattered about and drag that item onto their quote. Then after all 9 items have been identified you will review the completed statement and once again match those nine items back into the statement. After listening to all of the witnesses statements you can review everyones statements or choose the person you think is responsible by clicking on that person. According to how many mistakes you made during the interviewing you will be given a rank such as Sargent. Like I said before this isn't your typical HOG so keep an open mind and enjoy!

This game doesn't have the quality that we HOG lovers have come to expect. This isn't a bad game, but the graphics are just okay, there are no voiceovers and you will do a lot of reading, the mini games are just okay not exciting and certainly not challenging. I will give them credit on the HOS that are interactive and there are a lot of them. The story begins as an aging Katherine remembers how and when she met the love of her life, Steven, and then switches over to a young Steven's memories whom is now in the Navy and about to propose to Katherine. So if you are a romance novel fan this will definitely be the game for you. Enjoy!
