I played for the whole hour and will use a credit to play some more. You get to choose trivia questions from movies, television, technology, history, arts, and geology. My favorite was the lightning round where you get 60 seconds to answere 10 questions. There is also a global and personal score keeper. You choose from one of three catagories which have point amounts according to the difficulty of the question, and you have to achieve 25000 points to clear the round. It's fun.
I recommend this game!

A seriously addicting time management game. You get to destroy and build buildings! Lot's to do, cut down bushes, collect treasures, collect food and water, plant trees find secrets and more. There is enough to do in this game to keep you occupied for hours. If you are a TM person, you will LOVE this game!

I think this game is designed for kids, or an adult looking to pass the time. This would also work well for a smart phone app! Moonboy has fallen out of bed by a giant sneeze and it's up to you to guide this sleepwalker back to bed. The first level starts out with a tutorial. There are moons and stars to collect while you use your mouse to slide planks over or up or down to direct moonboy to his bed without falling while collecting all of the moons and as many stars as possible. You are timed, and you can either start over or revert to the place you were when you fell off. Repetitive music that can be turned off, bland bluish hues with very little details, but it does have a nice feature of a button that allows you to speed up moonboys travels. I don't think this game is too bad especially for kids,

I could only play for about 15-20 minutes as well but only because there isn't enough to do and I was completly bored! You are a professor onboard a submarine studying marine archaeology. You come across a sub larger than the one you are on and the professor disobeys orders and leaves to board the Nautils and explore. Once you are in the sub you must use the cursor to look around 360* to make it as if you are the one actually looking around, up, down, left, right. There is no hint system that I could find however, there is an arrow that tells you which direction you can go but it can be very confusing because there are several doors to go in and because of the limited view you will end up going back to the same place. In the short time I played the only items for me to pick up was a zinc ball and a candle holder, and the only tasks I had were to open a door and fix a fan. I listened to a computer talking to me as if I were the captain and saw a holagraphic video from Nemo? Maybe if this was a combat game and I was shooting the enemy this game would work but not so much for an adventure game.
Vampire Legends: The True Story of Kisilova Collector’s Edition is an incredible adventure based on the true story of the first documented case of vampirism ever!

I had no idea this town was the first to document cases of vampire attacks! You are summonded to go to Kisolova and investigate the sudden deaths of 9 people in a weeks time! There is sabotage every step of the way, someone doesn't want you to investigate! A stranger in a dark cloak is one step ahead of you, cutting ropes, blocking paths and stealing potential evidence. Your only clue is the fact that all of the victims have been bitten in the neck from behind and draining them of their blood! The HOS are well done, and interactive such as clicking on the knife to pick it up and using the knife to cut a melon slice. The only complaint is the items are kind of small. The mini game are pretty simple, such as connecting pipes from the fountain to the valve. There are also things to interact with in most of the scenes like knocking things over or petting the cat. In the bonus content they have real pictures of the town of Kisolva which I thought was pretty interesting.

A woman and her daughter crash into the woods after a crow flies into their windshield! Then they go into the woods instead of staying on the main road, and meet a woman who is clearly a witch, she makes them some tea and and mom passes out and the witch steals the girl. You will learn that in 1932 some children went missing, could the witch be one of these children? This game is just a standard edition but you are going to want to buy this game! The graphics are crystal clear but dark and eerie, the only complaint I have is that the hint system is very vague and you have to click on exact spots to get inventory items to work. The setting is fairly dark which makes some of the items hard to find, and they hide a lot of items in the close up scenes so be sure to check out the whole zoomed in area. Bravo to the developers for creating a well done SE game worthy of our money.
I recommend this game!

Hugo's wife wasn't to happy to learn of the affair Hugo was having with the beautiful flamingo dancer, Esmeralda and her husband vowed to put an end to the affair as well. Now Hugo has been murdered. Were either of them involved? It's up to you and your assistant to solve this love triangle/square and you will get plenty of help from Hugo's pet fox as well! This SE is still a very good game although only the CE allows you to earn trophies and has bonus content. There are 3 levels of difficulty and a very helpful tutorial if you are new to this type of adventure game. The graphics are the same as the other Grim Facades, colorful pastels with lot's of tasks and mini games such as playing the correct notes of the piano keys as shown on the sheet music, and because there are no achievements you can always choose to skip the mini games. The hint system recharges fairly quickly, but you must find hidden fans throughout the game as well as in the HOS, to get extra hints. You will also find coins that you will use in the general store to purchase items to help you investigate. The HOS are slightly interactive, such as clicking on the doors to open and find more items, Some of the items are small and because of the washed out pastel graphics some items can be a little difficult to find, but don't forget to look for the hidden fans for more hints. Most of the items you find are used quickly and within that scene, but it's pretty easy to decide what the items will be used for. I think this is a good game to use a credit or to pay for.

I don't usually like this kind of cartoonish time management game but I must admit I tried the demo and I like it! The princess has been kidnapped and is being held prisioner by the evil wizard and it's up to you and the prince to free her. The first scene starts you out with a tutorial and it's easy to learn what needs to be done, and quickly because you are timed. Basically when you start a new level you set up camp and you must guide your men by clicking on piles of wood for example to be cleared from the path after they chop up the wood you must pick up the wood to earn money, there will be rock piles, gold piles, apple trees to collect apples mills to rebuild bushes to shake bridges to repair, all of which gives you some kind of reward of food or money or even tools. You will help out ogres who will join you in your quest and you will help out the locals along the way to retrieve lost items. So I recommend you at least try the demo because you might be suprised to learn that you become addicted to this game as well.

I have to tell you that when the first cutscene played, my cat was sitting on my lap watching the computer and when the dark shadow passed by the window he jumped a little and then the creepy spider boy crawled up the dark figures back and my cat took off! This is obviously part of the series of PuppetShow but it isn't necessary to have played the others to play this game, although they are all really good games. The Puppet Master has been kidnapped again and as the lead detective you must scour the town of Joyville for clues and find out who is behind this mayham. You can choose to play in casual, advanced or hard mode. There aren't a lot of HOS but they are slightly interactive such as click on the lamp to turn it on and you will see a star on the lampshade. There are a lot of mini games and they are fairly simple, my favorite one was train tracks of 4 different colors with matching color trains that you had to click levers to switch the trains to their matching colored tracks without crashing the trains. You have a map to travel but it has limited information, simply checks off areas completed no task list. The hint system shows you where to go or helps to find HO but it does take a few seconds to recharge. Shortly after starting the game you will discover a mechanical spider boy that the Master has created that you get to name and later make hats for that will help you during your search, but personally I'm not into dressing up characters in a plot that should be scary. There are also 10 puppets to collect but they aren't hidden, they are in places you look for inventory anyway, and I would much rather they were hidden or blended into each scene. The graphics are well done, and they did a nice job matching the characters lips with the words but the kids voices are adult voices trying to sound like kids. The well known music from Tim Burtons movie does get a little loud a repetitive but it does set the mood. A well done game.

I will admit I liked the CE version better simply because I love finding beyond objects and this version doesn't have them. With that being said, I think this is a great game. The mini games are pretty basic, mostly puzzle pieces to rotated and place, so instead of being frusterated with hard puzzles you can relax and enjoy the whole game, and you can always skip the puzzles without penality. The HOS are slightly interactive, click on the spoon and use the spoon to scoop a gem out of the skeletons eye, and they have done a pretty good job of hiding the items of which you can use the hint button but it does take a while to recharge. You can choose to play in casual mode or all the way to hardcore where you are on your own to figure it out. The story is well done, Pedro gives an artifact to his sister to protect just before the evil sisters of wind, water and fire kill him. You will learn about the Keepers and their fight against evil while roaming the beautiful streets in Spain. This one's worth playing!
