Beautiful artwork! Voiceovers are fitting for the characters and I smell a plot twist ahead! The theme is not very Christmas oriented as you are battling to save your sister (or maybe battling your sister!) and fight the evil minions bent on destroying their world and your own! Based on demo--holds promise: Mixed Hos with reverse Hos and puzzles and a magnifying glass where you pick out the differences for clues to the ownership. The map is interactive and helpful. Plus interesting gameplay and great graphics! Enjoy!
Great timing to play a little spooky solitaire! Basic one up and one down sequence play. Creepy backgrounds and halloween flavored card back designs make this one a creeper keeper! Lots of levels and powerups. Not much of a storyline, but there is plenty to enjoy to sweeten this little game for the spooky season! No tricks here, just treats! Enjoy!

I love pirate themed games! Here is match solitaire similar to Strike (bowling theme) but here with beaches, shells and ships. The layouts are challenging to get to the special cards needed to win the hand. I found the music redundant but you can opt to turn it down. Good graphics, tough to win some of the hands--all in all a good little game
Far Kingdoms Winter Solitaire has beautiful graphics and soothing music! The storyline moves along, changing the background scenery to progress you through the tale. The solitaire is surprisingly difficult: it is typical golf (one up and one down) but the hands are challenging! Yet the HOS are extremely simple that is why I split the level of challenge. There is reference to a previous game I have not played before, but overall it is a good solid solitaire game. As you progress, new friends are added to help you defeat the Ice Queen, so be prepared to do some chilly battle!

This follows the same lines as the previous Fishdom games, but the fish can be seen from all angles, and the variety is awesome! Caring for the tank by sponging off the algae, feeding your pod of fish and being able to put your decor anywhere you please is appealing changes. I found the collector's edition to be worth the extra, my kids love to browse through the fish encyclopedia that shows them what the real fish looks like and a bit of info about it--great game. Keep them coming!

Love hidden object but they are even better when you strive to rebuild or fix up something! Cute characters with no violence or gore, tranquil music and settings--even the underwater scenes are tastefully done without 'scare' factors. Relaxing, feel-good fun! The HOS are a bit easy, but fun and they do change up a little #you can't guarantee you'll find a repeat item in the same place when you recognize a scene#. Great job! Keep this kind of game coming!

One of my faves to play! The variety of mini-games: sudoku, minesweep, and seeking for lost animals! etc. are a diversion from the HOS. The best bonus is seeing the progress as you 'rebuild' Dahlia Farm! Great fun!
I have played 7 Wonders before, but I love the idea of rebuilding ancient wonders like El Dorado! Same basic match 3 concept, but the power ups make it fun and enjoyable! My 7 year old likes to get in on the action too! Then the 'fix-it-up' part is not really a pick and choose, but the whole city is not revealed until you succeed in 'building' that part, so it is a 'mystery' of sorts until you beat the level. Nice, wholesome, non-gory, family fun!
Explore the vastness of a ship lost in time, what mysteries will you uncover amidst its Mayan idols, menacing sea creatures, and exotic treasures? Find out in this exciting new Hidden Object Puzzle Adventure game on the open seas!
Overall good rating for this game. I played the demo, so I didn't get very far in an hour, but there are several good aspects. There is variation on skill level including casual, normal (which I played#, and then higher, less 'help' modes. The game is complex in meaning there are several goals you are trying to accomplish-from collecting pieces of a mayan calendar to replacing pieces to the mayan idols so they release curses or objects you need, and solve the mystery of the ancient floating ship and crew. Also you are trying to release a boy; and find your partner and escaped prisoner! Talk about multi-tasking!! But the scenes are well designed with sharp graphics. The voiceover could have been a little better, but I rarely use that to analyze the game overall. I gave it a four star rating #not five# only because I get a little weary of all the 'trapped souls' games. It is getting to be a worn out theme. But taking in the graphics and challenges, it has the potential to be interesting!
