Completed CE: As the curator of a museum you receive the body of Captain Remington. After restoring items to him Remington comes alive and captures your daughter Corey. You hop aboard his ship that starts you on an adventure of your life. Arriving at Skull Island you search the island to and find out the captivating story of Remington and why he's taken your daughter. To rescue Corey you visit beautiful, though eerie places around the island, solve unique puzzles ranging from easy to medium, and collect doubloons to place in a chest guarded by a dwarf. Even though you free you daughter there is a catch....you find out this will be the start of you meddling in Davy Jones' pacts he makes with people.
I recommend all three games in this series. The money you spend on the CE is worth having the bonus chapter because it adds more to the story. The SE is worth it too!
I recommend this game!

I highly recommend all 3 parts of this series because the extra chapters add more to the storyline in each episode. And the SE is just as good, but like I said the bonus chapter is worth having.

Complete CE: You receive a letter from your dead uncle that leads you to the Isle of Wight. There you meet your uncle's companions who collect ancient artifacts. As you make your way around the island you discover the secret of you family lineage, an artifact given you by your dead uncle, and how it works to ward off a centurion that hunts anyone who comes into contact with the artifact.
As always, Eipex gave us another great story in this series. The story was epic. The graphics were excellent. The cut scenes and voice acting superb. And a musical score was perfect. The puzzles range from easy to hard in casual mode. And the other bonus stuff was great!
I recommend this game!

Completed: Once I started I couldn't stop til the end. The story gripped me and kept my interested all the way through. The puzzles were interwoven so well with the whole plot that I felt like they belonged there. There was a variety that ranged from easy to medium. Even though there were some creepy, jump out of my seat moments there were moments were the scenes changed and became bright and cheery, adding a calm after being kept on my toes for a bit. The music score was awesome, it played the right pieces just a the perfect moments to fit the suspense, creepy, or calm moments. I loved be able to make choices here in there, it add a nice bonus to the game. I can say I look forward to another game in this series if the developers make one. I want to see what happens next.
I am not much for creepy games but this one has a great story and ending. Something that counts!
I recommend this game!

Completed: Step into the 1920s as detective Iris Birdwood. Use a unique amulet to help with the case. Solve puzzles and find the crystals to open the door to the dreamatorium machine. Face off an ectoplasma creature to save Dr. Magnus and Ms. Lara.
An intriguing story. Nice variety of puzzles. The scenes were excellent and music score fabulous. The voice acting was good. The only voice that I have issues with is Iris Birdwell's, It lacked emotion in many areas and sounded monotone, hallow. Other than that the game is fantastic, though short.

Completed CE: I was captivated from the start with a thrilling plane ride to battle of good vs. evil at the end! I can say that by #3 most series fizzle out but this one. Each story in this series just gotten better. I give the developers 5 stars for doing a fabulous job.
The story kept my attention all the way through. The puzzles was easy to medium on casual mode and fit perfect with the game play. The graphics, music score and voice acting are all excellent. Buying the CE was worth the bonus chapter that was well done.
I highly recommend this game and the other two in the series. Nice change from all the doom and gloom that most BG games have recently.
I recommend this game!
