It took me awhile to figure out the controls such as zooming in and out, but once I did I somehow became addicted to try to find more red blobs to eat. It's a simple game, a little on the stupid side, the goal is to go from a single cell to evolve according to what you eat, red for aggresive meat eater, green for a passive herbavore, or blue for somewhere inbetween. Give it a try, but use the tutorial feature.
I recommend this game!

I rather liked this game, although not spectacular it is fun to play. I have an imac and the graphics on this was superb. The storyline is intreguing, The princess has been summoned by the kings keeper a dwarf named Reko because the King is missing and brother Mongo has declared himself King. Sounds a little like Robin Hood doesn't it? Anyway I really liked the puzzles and from what I could see you couldn't skip them. Most of the mini games were easy, and a little time consuming such as figuring out the correct sequence with 12 different tiles to light up the 5 jewels in a gargoyls crown. The HO's were list finds, not interactive, but they did a great job hidding items in plain sight! There is a hint button that tells you what to do next or shows you a picture of the item in HO as it is hidden, and the recharge takes a little while, Two modes to chose casual and hard. I think this game is at least worth a credit!

Up to me to defend the recharged crystals from the alien invasion and I need the help of the jungle animals to fight off the aliens! The lion cold cocks the aliens and the monkey throws bananas at them, what a team. I'm not real fond of this kind of game and quickly became bored but I can see this becoming addictive to those who do.
I don't recommend this game.

Worth buying in either format however the CE does have collectables of various musical instruments. The "shadows" are on the loose, and only the meastro's mucic can control them. Your journey begins in the vienna school of music where two talented young musicians have been taken as they were taking private lessons! Now you must search for clues and collect evidence as you throw vases on the ground, and rip open chairs as well as fix just about every lock in the town! The puzzles are pretty simple, repeat the correct sequence of piano keys played, match two alike items, or complete the three color coded sections of flutes. The HO's are a mixture of listed items to find and silloutted items that are interactive such as find a lever, put the lever on the light panel put lever in correct position and recieve another item on the list. The only part I thought was odd was the fact that the collectables were still there and it looked like something you need to click on but you don't. A good hint system that recharges quickly and no penalties for skipping the puzzles.
I recommend this game!

In all fairness this game would be great on a smartphone! It's a mildly entertaining game of "pong" with a few upgrades. You can choose to play a game of your choice or opt, as I did for a random game. The object of the game is to shoot a ball at the block formation with trees and various obstacles, in an attempt to clear the board. The goal is to move your paddle to keep the ball in motion and not passing your paddle to end your life. As the ball hits the different blocks it releases different features such as an extra life, or turning your ball into a thorny or fireball and also giving your paddle the ability to shoot cannons or lazers or a magnet. As I stated before, if this is available for a phone it could help you pass some serious time!

A whodunit kind of story, A detective is hired by the woman whose husband was brutaly murdered, and she doesn't trust the police to investigate his death! So the dective (yourself) is given total control to search the house anywhere for clues. So you begin searching the house for clues, breaking into piggy banks for gold coins >to be used later in the store< using lockpicks on closed doors and collecting useful evidence as well as fans hidden throughout the game that earns you more hints! You quickly find out that the deceased husband Hugo, had been fooling around and the Mrs. wasn't to happy about Miss flamingo! All of a sudden, a strange man tries to drag off the grieving widow as he breaks statues and ladders and almost everything you yourself haven't broken. So whodunit?? You will recieve help along the way from Hugo's pet artic ferrel fox who is very cute. Very few Hidden Object Games, slightly intreactive, click in the door it opens up, etc. There are puzzles to solve such as reading music and playing the right notes, or exchanging puzzle pieces between two circular discs that you rotate back and forth to complete the picture. A good and entertaing game to play.
I recommend this game!

Who dosen't like mahjong? This is a game that is fun and addicting! There is a story to go along with the game, the Emperors only son becomes sick and there is no cure, all the doctors have tried to make him well without success, until a strange looking man comes along with powers to make him well. This man accepts no payment in return so whats the catch??? The gameplay itself is pretty simple, the usual match two alike tiles until you reach the two golden tiles to win the hand. You will be rewarded to allow you to build your city with sawmills, wells etc. earning more for matching or beating the alloted time per game. There is a golden buddah for hints that must recharge after each use, a shuffle feature for when you have exhausted all moves and different earned features such as a tile for going back one move. There are a couple of annoying features, the music is aweful so I turned it off, and the characters bombard you one after the other in dialog boxes that just keep going and going when you just want to play the game not read an entire manuscript!

I wasn't prepared for anything spectacular in this game. and then the intro finished and the spooky gates of the profile page showed up and I thought maybe I was wrong, this could be decent. It was just okay for me, it wasn't a waste of time, but I don't want to buy it either. There are 2 modes: casual and expert the only difference is the time that the hint and skip buttons recharge. That brings me to the hint button, or lack thereof, you are on your own on that one. No stratagy guide, no map. There are a lot of HO's just about in every room slightly interactive, that brings me to another part of the game. I always try to use all features in the game to give my review and I selected to use the feature that shows you how to play the game. It's a good thing I know how to play because it only told me a couple of things to do, then I was on my own. The story itself was the same, brother and sister inheiret a mansion, they get there and a crazed lunatic nabs one of them. manical machines that need repaired etc, The puzzles were the usual turn the pipes to connect. Everything was typical and you pretty much know what everything will be used for.

Cute penguines, each with special abilities that you have to figure out what that ability is, bouncy music, colorful cartoon graphics and addictive match 3 (and hopefully more!) gameplay. Easy to lose track of time while playing, with 3 choices of match, classic match 3 of the same item, click and drag a chain of matching tiles or click on a group of tiles. Earn bombs and tools to help you clear a path! Enjoy!!
I recommend this game!

This game is addictive! Heros is a game that is very similar to the Cradel series which I love. There are a couple of nice features, you get 3 options of match 3 such as the classic match at least 3 to click and drag a series of matches that are next in line. There is also 2 play modes, relaxed and timed. The music however is repetitive and annoying. You will earn gold to build a town helping the phesants along the way. As the game progresses you will complete the main section by dropping a key to the bottom of the board which will unlock another section of the board. You will collect axes, bombs, bows etc. along the way to help destroy the blocks. Have fun!
