This game could definitely be the worst ne I've played. Everything about it fell flat. Here are my thoughts:
Good Parts:
Quickly re-charging hint
Un-installing it

OK Parts:
Puzzles- some were challenging but others were way too hard.
Puzzles- some were challenging but others were way too hard.
Bad Parts:
Slow recharging skip button
If you clicked on to "come back later" in the middle of a puzzle you had to start all over again. It was like a punishment.
The storyline- it fell flat and most of the time it felt like I was reading a picture book.
The gameplay. I was so confused- was it meant to be a Hidden Object Game or an Adventure game?
For A Hidden Object game, there weren't many Hidden Object Scenes
I really did not get the whole crystal thing. Seriously... What does it have to do with the game??

Overall, I could go on and on about the bad things of this game. I can't find anything good about it. I, too, was lured in by the title, hoping for it to be one of those dark and spoky games, but no. If you're looking for one, don't play this, or you'll be severly disappointed.
I don't recommend this game.

This game can be summed up in one word: Awesome. Here are my thoughts:
Good Parts:
Thrilling storylne, with a fantasy element making it even more interesting.
Quickly recharging hint and skip.
Interactive hidden objects
Nearly every item had an immediate use, so my inventroy didn't get full

If there's anything bad about this game it would be the misplaced objects thing. It annoyed me and the majority of the time I couldn't figure out what to do.

Overall, this is yet another amazing hidden object game. I'm sure you'll love it, as I did and I can't wait to try out more Echoes of the Past games!!
I recommend this game!

This game= No good. I wouldn't buy it if I were you. Here are more in-depth thoughts on the game:
Good Parts:
Instead of the usual Hidden Object Game, which focuses on mystery, this game was more of a fantasy one.
Option of timed or Relaxed (I played relaxed)

Dialogue was good, but there were no voiceovers, making the game seem very un-realistic.

Bad Parts:
Every scene of the game was Hidden Objects. There should've been some walking around or storylines at least!
No storyline. This is what every hidden object game needs. This also made it hard for me to follow
Stupid penalties for relaxed mode. Random clicking costs you a hint, which almost made me go timed mode.

Overall, this game is really bad. I can't and won't reccomend it, unless, of course you really like Big City Adventure and other games with no storyline or all hidden objects.
I don't recommend this game.

This game is terrible, which, in my opinion, is such a rarity for Hidden Object Games. Here are my thoughts: (based on Casual Mode)
The Good:
Great storyline
Classic whodunit case

The Average:
Option of a tutorial, but sometimes it was no help

The Bad:

Terrible French Accents

Lack of interest. I quit 9 minutes in t the demo. (yes, believer it or not, 9 minutes)

While nowhere near as good as the original, Cooking Academy 2: World Cuisine, will still provide entertainmet for people of all ages. Here are my thoughts:
Good Parts:
Quickly re-charging hint (Raid the fridge)
A good mix of time management and Hidden objects (again, Raid the Fridge)
Good Education (learning about the dish and its cuisine)

Bad Parts:
As with the first game,this game had terrible graphics
I hated it how everytime you entred the pan or wok stages of cooking, the game always seemed to think you needed a tutorial. This really dragged the game and wasted quite a bit of my free trial.

Apart from these flaws, this game is very enjoyable, like the first. I recommend it, but you really need to play original first.
I recommend this game!

At first, I thought this would be stupid, but I played it and it was really fun! Here are my thoughts:
Good Parts:
Great recipes
Cooking "exams"
It was great to learn about the history of the recipe
Easy gameplay

Bad Parts:

You can't print out rcipes. That's a real bummer.
To get an A+ you had to be super quick and you couldn't make any mitakes. Not good for someone with terrible reflexes

This Slingo game is good, but not as good as Amazon was. Here are my thoughts:
Good Parts:
Variety of goals, not just get a certain amount of points
Friend powers
Battles against the Sphinx
Treasure chests
The Devils' minigames. They were a step in the right direction for Slingo and add an extra bit of fun to the game\
The re-design of the Jokers. Instead of being assigned a random number for each board, you may now remove any number from thee column it appears in. As well as that, they have added a Super Joker. This means you can remove any number off the board. This has gotten me out of many tight spots

Once again, the storyline falls flat, and as usual, it involves the Devil stealing something. I think it's about time Slingo focused on something else

Bad Parts:
Egyptian character Slingo boards. It took away from the classic feeling of the game and confused me a lot.
Annoying voices. Why can't they do voice-overs?
Some goals were really hard and took quite a few goes to finish.

I have the original slingo, so I was curious to see which other games there were. Here are my thoughts:
Good Parts:
Classic Slingo game
The Devil's minigames (although I always seem to have bad luck)
The Jokers- instead of the original slingo, where they were assigned a random number on the board, you may now remove one number from that column. As well as that, they have included a Super Joker, which means you can remove any number off the board.
Power-ups make the game fun
Bonus points at the end of the round
A Great Challenge much harder than Slingo Deluxe

This Hidden Object Game isn't a great one. Its confusing storyline and some annoyances made it a bore. Here are my thoughts:
Good Part:
No shortage of Hidden Object Scenes

Limited number of hints
The maid. She wasn't useful, just annoying. The voiceover is done very poorly.
When I used a hint, it didn't show me where they were, it showed me what the objects looked like.

This game is not you're everyday Hidden Object Game. It's setting and storyline make it quite intriguing. Here are my thoughts:
Good Parts:
The Setting
The Storyline- you set to trael back in time to correct the wrongs of one of Tesla's inventions
Quickly rechargng Skip button
Being able to connect with ghost Tesla
