I absolutely love the World Mosaics games. Especially the first 3 in the series. Wonderful tutorial. I had never played this type of game, and didn't have a problem learning quickly. Enjoyable music and relaxing.
I recommend this game!

This is a very nicely put together game. You are called in by the Order of Light to stop paranormal activity running amok in Smalltown. It seems renovations to a building is disturbing the spirits. Game flows very nicely without any glitches. Colors are vibrant, but sort of washed out. Not grainy, just not clear and blinding. HOS are interactive list. Puzzles are on the medium side and are interesting. I very much like the story line. You do get a ghost catcher to nab the spirits who are wreaking havoc. You also get a map and a journal. There are more achievements than you can shake a stick at. Collectibles galore. And a score card to tell you how well you did in the game. I like this game. Something catchy and different about it and keeps my attention.
I recommend this game!

This is a great release from Eipix. I absolutely love most of their games, although I did not care for the first installment of this game (The Tree of Life). In this one, you need to find your student who has gone through a portal to a different world. The music, graphics, color, etc., are excellent. The HOS are varied and fun. The puzzles ranged from easy to hard (I'm not the best at puzzles). You do get a helper, Bonnie the dog, who helps sometimes and is not intrusive. There are many extras in this CE. Hidden bones, hidden fairies, a long bonus chapter, replayable games and HOS. All in all a very nicely done game. For me, I wasn't very interested in the story. One of those games that just couldn't keep my attention. It seemed to drag on and on. I may retry the SE and see if I feel differently then.
I recommend this game!

The blurb describing this game sounded so promising. Sadly, once the game started, all that fell apart. The graphics are just OK. Poor acting, poor dialogue, misnamed objects in the HOS, etc. The HOS were blurry and on the dark side. I just can't imagine playing an entire game with those dark blurry HOS. I think with a lot of tweaking and work, this could be a good game. Unfortunately, it's a pass at this point.
I don't recommend this game.

A very bright cartoon-y HOG, in the same lines as City of Fools. The game play and story have been described well by other reviewers so I won't go into that. Puzzles were enjoyable. Characters were funny and the entire game was light hearted. Problem? The length. I had really just begun playing and the game ended, inconclusively. I cannot recommend this game.
I don't recommend this game.

This is my first time trying an on-line jigsaw game. This one was done very nicely. The colors and graphics were clear. The pictures were all gorgeous. All said and done, you probably have a choice of over 700 pictures. You have many options to choose from such as rotate pieces, ghost, picture in the corner, border, etc. No instructions are given, so you need to figure out the options on your own, but it's not difficult. You can choose a puzzle with 12-300 pieces. Music is pleasant. If you are a jigsaw fan, you could have a field day with this game. It's enjoyable :)
I recommend this game!

This game has a good premise... Mahjong mixed with other games. There are HOS however they are so small, you'd need a magnifier to spot the objects. Also there is a timer. I don't care for this game. There are better Mahjong or puzzle games out there.
I don't recommend this game.

This is a bright, solitaire game in the mode of one higher or lower than the face card. The tutorial given is great if you have never played this type of solitaire. Everything is easy to see. The gopher is a cute guy :) Loved it.

You can play this Mahjong game in many different ways. You get your choice of adventure mode, zen mode, create your own layout mode. Also, choice of tiles, backgrounds. You can also choose which type of Mahjong to play, i.e., classic, golden dragon, matching, etc. This has something for everyone. I did take one star off for the tiles. Even though you can choose your tile set, they were not clear or very easy to see, as compared to other Mahjong games.
I recommend this game!

A very nicely done Mahjong game. You can choose classic mahjong which has many many boards to choose from. Or Adventure mode which takes you on a dynasty adventure through Chinese history. Tiles are large. Music is nice. No glitches, game ran smoothly. You can play timed or untimed. Very nice. Would recommend.
I recommend this game!
