I am a really big fan of this type of TM game, but this game moves too slow for my taste. I hate the fact that you can't click on available actions until the worker actually delivers his last load. Other than that this game has good graphics, but slightly cartoonish. It has your typical tasks where you must collect wood and food and clear paths to get to the tree of life or whatever your goal is during the allotted time. It's a good game just not a super game but still fun to play. Enjoy!

The Prince must travel back in time with the help of Lucio the wizard, a time before Alura was an evil witch to collect her mothers 4 amulets and protect her from corruption! This is a beautiful fantasy-magical themed game with crisp colorful graphics and excellent voiceovers. You have the opportunity to catch fireflies and put them into the hint meter but they are pretty quick and sometimes difficult to catch. The HOS are a mixture of list finds, fragmented objects and placing items back onto the scene so that should cover everybody preference. The mini game aren't new but they are fun such as turning light discs to connect with the main light and turn on all the lights. You will travel to different times and interact with magical plants and creatures, this game is sure to please so give it a try. Enjoy!

I am giving this game 5 stars because so far every mini game I have played was different and fun to play. In one game you must step across a narrow ledge, there is a meter at the top and a skull that goes back and forth, you cannot step until the skull is in the green zone and the green zone gets smaller the further you go and the skull travels faster. A young couple travels to Mexico to get her fathers blessing for their marriage and they arrive on The Day of The Dead, her father nowhere to be seen. The young man finds a talking guide book that warns the couple to leave, but it's too late the Dead has already claimed her and we must now find her! This is definitely a new storyline, and the developers are trying to make everything about this game unique. You will search for hidden skulls as well as earn achievements. The HOS are slightly interactive list finds and they double up the same scenes. There is a map for traveling and it does show you areas of interest so there is little need for the hint system, however it does indicate where to go with an arrow as well as telling you what area to check out next. Again the puzzles are entertaining and I didn't feel the need to pull my hair out or use the skip button! Even familiar games have a twist such as untangling those famous ropes only this time you tangle them to touch all the light buttons until they are all lit. I like this game and I think you will too. Enjoy!

Wow I LOVE the fact the you still get very well done morphing objects (some items don't morph until you re-enter the area a couple of times, so be on the lookout# even though this is only a SE. You also still get to collect parables #stories or fair tale info) and you also get to collect clothing ensembles for cinderellas around the globe which will get you special items after all 4 pieces of the wardrobe are collected. The only thing you don't get with this version is the use of the strategy guide which you won't really need because the map shows areas of interest and the hint system is good and recharges faster with each morph found, and there is no bonus game. I purchased this game in the CE because I didn't think morphs would be in the SE so this game is certainly worth purchasing! The evil fairy godmother is searching desperately for the last Cinderella, the one with a pure heart, leaving beautiful women entombed in stone along the way. You are once again a detective sent to find and protect the real Cinderella before the evil godmother finds her. This isn't really a challenging game but it is a very entertaining and fun game to play and the storyline will keep you playing to find out more! The HOS are actually FROS where you need to find objects that are fragmented or broken and when you find all the parts they will connect to become a complete object, there are no list finds in this game. Mini games are fun and easy to complete such as switching tiles to complete a picture, then another puzzle opens up beside that picture and you need to flip those tiles to complete that picture. The graphics are fairy tale beautiful, music and voiceovers very well done, making this another Dark Parable winner that you will want to add to your collection. Enjoy

Armado the armadillo was on a quest to gain knowledge from the queen eagle but he found out the horrible ants had taken over. You will need to guide Armado up the hill using your mouse to guide him. You can go forward or backward and you must jump by clicking to reach diamonds, gems, multipliers and rings. To defeat the ants and spiders along the way you must crush them by jumping on them and you have to avoid obstacles like rolling logs, waterfalls and drop-offs. You will have to run into rockslides several times to clear the path as well. I thought this was an entertaining game that you don't have to put a lot of thought into, just have some fun, enjoy!

It seems the developers always try to one up their last version and this one doesn't disappoint. You are investigating the grisly murder and theft of a book of wishes, Vox, and the creepy dwarf is back and interfering in every aspect of the investigation proclaiming his innocence. There are your typical inventory finds, keys to unlock doors, emblems to find to open up secret boxes etc. then there is an added feature of collecting flower seeds. You take these seeds and plant them in a pot, water the plant three times, then cut the flower to sell for gold which allows you to purchase more exotic flowers. The HOS are a mixture of interactive list finds and progressive finds such as finding a nose to match the darkened sillouette and then placing the nose on the statue to receive the next item and so fourth. You also find haunted items that break the ghostly seals to reveal items useful to the ghosts and your investigation. The mini games are fairly simple such as clicking on 4 different bird claws until they all release their grip but clicking on one claw activates more than one claw. The only complaint I have is with the map, it can be used for quick travel and doesn't show you areas of interest and you have to click on mini maps within the map for maps inside the mansion. Other than that, this is a fantastic game and well worth playing. Enjoy!

This is a very simple match 3 game with a pirate themed story. I made the mistake of playing on the casual setting and should have chosen expert for a little challenge. You will get bombs and other bonuses that you can use to clear rows or several tiles surrounding the bonus. The Captain's wife and treasure map has been taken and you have to earn enough money to hire a crew to help you in your search. Every person you hire has a special ability to help you clear the board. The board was not very colorful and the graphics of the gems and bonuses was bland and the game itself shrunk to a small window instead of filling the whole screen.

It takes a couple of minutes to figure everything out but when you do, get ready for some heart pumping action. This is by far one of the best TD games I have ever played. You will start out with a single soldier by placing him in the most strategic position to defeat the enemy and as you earn money you will add more soldiers, planes and tanks etc. At the end of the battle you can keep your best and most upgraded soldiers and planes or whatever you need for the next battle, if you want more slots you can buy the slots and it really gets difficult when you have a good upgrade and not enough money for another slot. You're gonna like this one!

I did not play the first sparkle but I really enjoyed playing this game. The only reason I didn't give this game 5 stars was the fact that it seems to be on the easy side but that is just based on the demo. You must click to launch a matching colored orb at the creature made of orbs of different colors a match of 3 or more will shorten his length and slow him down. There are a lot of power ups to earn that will destroy several orbs or cut him in half for instance. There are achievements to unleash such as a faster orb launcher or a longer slower game. You can right click to change the color of the orb as well, I think you will like this game too!

This isn't the best game by todays standards, but it is only a standard edition and if you like a lot of hidden object scenes and don't mind tiny objects then you will enjoy this game. It has a good story, you are the detective (of course) trying to solve the recent murder of a drug addicted model and the murderer is taunting you with disturbing messages and watching your every move! There aren't any frills with this game and the graphics aren't even that great, only a handful of puzzles but as I said before, there are a lot of HOS and they are fun, but there are some items that are so small and fuzzy you just have to click on whatever item seems close enough. I don't know if you will find this worth the purchase price but the demo isn't a complete waste of time and maybe even worth a credit. Enjoy!
