It's time for the Enigma Agency to solve another case, those evil shadows! A shaman Mayan Indian has come to your bosses house demanding that he finds his sacred map! When you arrive at John's house, you find him out cold on the floor and a curse is effecting everything in the house. As you investigate you will find that John has built a really weird puzzle lock on every door in his house and that at least one piece is missing on every puzzle. These are fun puzzles such as a disc that turns with a colored hole on all four corners as well as four smaller discs inside the larger disc with four colored marbles in each disc that you have to rotate to allow the right marble to drop into the color coded slot. The HOS is actually a series of Rube Goldberg machines ( a machine that uses several unnecessary steps to achieve a single goal) such as a candle burns a rope, the rope detaches a car that rolls down a track bumps into a button etc. Some of the parts are broken or missing and you have to fix them and add items from your inventory. There are also interactive list items that also contain scorpions that you find hidden throughout the game! Achievements are also available for not using the hint system in a HOS or finding items quickly. With crystal clear graphics and an interesting story, you will find yourself clicking on the "buy" button right after the demo.Enjoy!

This is different, and amazingly enjoyable! Basically you are given a colored marble at the top (of which you can right click to change to the next one only) and you drop it onto the desired spot by moving right or left, onto the pile of marbles on the bottom. As they touch each other they tend to bounce and knock each other around and if you are lucky three or more of the same color will collide together and disappear. There are more and more obstacles as you progress but once you clear all the marbles with treasures inside you beat that level. Good music in the background and nice relaxing gameplay make this a must play kind of game. Enjoy!

This is a great sequel to the PuppetShow series, someone has kidnapped the puppet master and it's up to you to investigate and solve this mystery! The graphics are beautiful and it has a good storyline as well. The HOS are interactive and I will admit some of the items are very well hidden. Mini games are fun and you won't become frustrated trying to solve them, or you can always skip them. You will also receive your own creepy mechanical robot to help you with those hard to reach areas, and you get to name him as well. If you have played the other PuppetShow games you will certainly want to buy this one as well, if you haven't played them you should definatly go back to the beginning and play them all!
I recommend this game!

I don't remember playing a game like this before, a match 3 that you had to strategically plan where to place the tile in order to make a match of at least 3 vertically or horizontally. There are tiles on all 4 sides of the square and you use these tiles to try and remove the game tiles that are in the middle of the board. You must match alike color tiles and a tile can only be used if it stopped by the tile on the board, and the tile color may not be available for play until you match up other tiles in front of the one you need. I know this doesn't make sense until you actually play the game. It isn't hard to play, you just need to plan out which tiles to use first for example you might use a tile from the top and bottom of one color to get to the color you need to clear the board. Each level has a few more tiles that need to be removed as well as another color added. I think this is a game you could play over and over again. Enjoy!

In my opinion this is one of the best Dark Tales yet with so much going on you just can't help but enjoy playing! The Mayor of the town is not well liked by the townsfolk because he is unfairly taxing people, leaving the folks hungry and their town in shambles. Somebody in a red mask has killed the Mayor and all of the Mayors council members, and it is now up to you and Mr. Dupin to find the murderer and decide who the guilty parties actually are. That's right, you get to decide. You will collect evidence against both the Mayor and the man in the red mask and use that evidence on your scale of justice to decide who is guilty. You can also change your mind and move the evidence to one side or the other. You will find cute and helpful animals during your quest, the first one is a kitten that you place in your office, you can visit him, play with him and find things for him during your investigation. The graphics are clear and the cutscenes well done. You will earn achievements or trophies that you keep in your office as well. Another feature is a camera that you can use on any of the scenes in the game and the photos are kept in an album that again you can look through in your office, kinda cool. The mini games are mostly easy such as following a bread recipe to bake a loaf of bread (you get a trophy for this as well) or playing a game of which cup is the marble under. One of the games was to set 3 separate clocks to the same time and for me that was a frusterating puzzle. There aren't a lot of HOS but they are interactive and a mixture of classic list finds to finding the item in the scene that matches the silloutted shape on the list. A great game to play after the long wait. Enjoy!

I have played a lot of horrible games before, and although this one is pretty boring it's not horrible. I think kids will enjoy this game. The basic's of the game are to seat the customers, preferably at a matching table of 2-4-6 etc. according to the party's number. After a couple of seconds of waiting the first dirty dishes appear and you must click on that table to remove them and then click on the tray to place the dirty dishes in it, you can only do 2 tables dishes at a time. When the customers raise their hands it's time to collect money and clear the table for the next customers, you also have to go to the kitchen and refill the buffet and dessert counters. After each round you get to buy upgrades like more tables or decorations.
I don't recommend this game.

I will be honest with you, I'm not a big fan of the detailed strategy games but this one isn't bad. It is a very confusing game and there is a lot of detailed information to remember before the game even begins, choose the character carefully because it matters especially in battle. It took me a couple of re-takes to figure out what cards or powers to choose to win the battle. Healing powers and magic are sometimes better than weapons. I don't really think this is a game to base an opinion on a demo, just not enough time. If you like this kind of game you will probably have to buy it, one hour just isn't enough play time. Enjoy!

I thought this game was okay but a little slow and I believe kids will have a blast with this game. Basically a couple of bears want to win a cooking contest out of boredom so they open up a restaurant with one bear cooking and the other waiting on tables. This is a point and click or drag game and all the upgrades are automatic, when you earn enough money you get a new floor or wallpaper but you don't get to choose colors or designs. When customers come in you drag them to a table of two or four etc. and you get extra points for matching the blue customers to the blue chairs or red to red. When a menu pops up over their heads you click to take their order, click the machine that delivers menu to cook. When fozzy bear is done cooking you click to pick up dinner and click on the table to deliver (marked with matching numbers) After they eat you click on the money, click to clean table, click to put them in a dirty dish cart and drag another customer to a table and start again. Bonuses are achieved when you do a couple of things the same for two tables, like taking the order for table one and two before doing something else. You must keep the customer happy but their is nothing to do for them when all the tables are full and they start to get mad. As I said before I am recommending this game for kids and the parents and grandparents playing this with them. Enjoy!

I really liked this game and plan on using a credit to buy! At first it seems soooo easy but then you have more and more people with guns and it get's a little tricky. You must eat all of the brains and to do this you have to plan a little strategy. As you eat the non-zombies they turn into zombies as well and that's more zombies to achieve the goal. You can buy power ups or new attire for your zombie as well! Enjoy!

What a fun game, it starts out a little slow but quickly becomes action packed after the tutorial. Basically you have just purchased a fitness gym and you have to keep the customers happy as indicated by the yellow smiley face above the customer that turns to blue and then red and angry. When the customer comes in he or she has a picture of the equipment they want to work out on and you click and drag them onto the equipment and press the button to give them personal training. They may want water or a shower or to work out on another piece of equipment. You have to hire employees or have something fixed. If things get behind you need to put a customer in the relaxing chair to keep them happy while waiting, because more and more customers are coming in. This is a game worthy of a purchase, enjoy!
