When I saw a game involving zombies, I said "Yes" !!!! Then I played the demo, and said, "NO" !!!!!! Oh my, I don't even know where to start. I was utterly confused here. I see one reviewer wrote about the crystal clear graphics. I'm not seeing that. I experienced grainy, ridiculous HOS, a cursor so small it was impossible to differentiate useful items unless I clicked on everything. I don't think there was music. Only annoying echoing sounds. Actions made no sense. Oh, etc. etc etc. Just awful. Not even for free would I play this again.
I don't recommend this game.

I had played TV Farm 1 way back and I didn't care for it. The developers have fine tuned the sequel dramatically. The characters are much more likable. You are able to harvest by dragging your mouse. You are also able to plant seeds the same way. The premise here is that you need to have to best farm to win the farming competition. Similar to Farm frenzy games in that you take your vegetables and make them into other products. Then send the truck off to make a profit. You will need to think a bit to figure out what will make you the most money. The tutorial was excellent. Game play was smooth. For avid TM players, I would recommend :))))

Here we have a deliciously challenging game. The graphics are nice., HOS are very imaginative with you using your inventory item (s) to get the one thing you need from the HO scene. The puzzles are challenging, but can be skipped. I suppose the music was ok because I didn't notice it. The hint button is helpful in and out of HOS. It points you in the right direction, which is good because thus far there are many places to go. You really need to think about how to use your inventory items. Some, you carry with you for quite a while. The story is mysterious and keeps you interested. Because I believe I will need the SG for this game, I am going to get the CE, which I rarely do. Excellent game and something different from the same old, same old :) Enjoy !!!
I recommend this game!

I played the CE of this game when it came out. There are collectables in the CE and you can replay mini-games. (As if there aren't enough in the main story). Also, the standard extra music, walpaper, etc. There are 3 modes to choose from. The graphics are along the typical ERS standards. The entire game is so similar, graphically wise and music wise to their other games, it's becoming quite annoying actually. The mini games were simplistic. As usual, there are the multitude of HOS. You get a helper puppet who can go places you can't reach. (Perhaps they ran out of "hooks": or grappling items?) lol. The graphics are bright, the voice of little Felicia is grating. Perhaps the first 2 or 3 puppetshow games were sufficient.... in my opinion. This game seems like it's just dragging along trying to squeeze the puppet story to death. I'd give it a recommend bc I know there are people who have followed this series. For me, however, it's a no-buy.

Another Edgar Allan Poe Story. Yay !!! I love all of his books and have enjoyed every game in this series. We have Dupin :) And a pet cat also, for whom we are able to collect items. There are achievements, a transportable map, journal, a camera to use whenever you like. Being an ERS game, its format is very similar to their other games ( cookie cutter games ). However, I cannot pass on Poe !!! The hidden object scenes are good, interactive. The inventory bar at the bottom is crowded for some reason. I do not like that. I personally thought the Gold Bug was better, however, this is a great game. Enjoy :)))

The story, what there is of it.... you open up a buffet restaurant. Colors are drab. Graphics are drab. Customers are drab. No music. Basically you seat customers. I guess they somehow get their own food from the buffet although it doesn't show them doing this. You clear the plates. Restock the buffet if necessary. However, it doesn't tell you what on the buffet table is getting low, so you really have to guess. Then, you seat more customers. Over and over and over. You can click ahead, but you are not able to see what or where you clicked. (No check marks or anything). This game is AWFUL.
I don't recommend this game.

I've enjoyed all the Redemption Cemetery games. Here, the developers hiked it up a notch. The plot is similar to the other games.... help save the souls of the restless dead. Now you get a map that is transportable. You have the raven again, but he is able to go into different elements ... dig, go into fire, etc. To get the raven to do this, you play mini games to "charge" that element. You also have a puppy that you are collecting medallions for, and with those, you can get trophies. There is a journal, hint button which recharges quickly, skip button which also charges quickly. 3 modes of play. I played on the easiest when trying out the demo. Very few HOS (yay). Puzzles were on the easy side. Graphics are crisp and clear and game ran perfectly. I do have to agree with Nilosh and his review.... there is just TOO much. The charging up of the raven (for me) interfered with the game play by having to stop and play the mini game. There is little to no interaction with other characters except for the ghosts telling you of their wrongs. I'm on the fence with this one. I liked it, but not enough to purchase the CE.
I recommend this game!

How much dust was brushed off this game to bring it out into the open? Oh my. It should have stayed buried. Strictly HO game. Dark, grainy, horrible visuals. Poor artistry. The woman looked cross-eyed. Enough. Re-bury it lol.

First off, I will say this type of game is right up my alley. Spooky, dark, creepy. That''s all good. Hidden object scenes were ok. Interactive. Puzzles were very easy. I hate to say it, because I don't have much patience with real difficult puzzles, but they were too easy. Music was good and creepy. Visuals were dark, but that's to be expected. No misclick penalty for HOS. That is a huge plus. That penalty annoys me to no end. Map is interactive and transporting. Another plus. Now for the downside... the game was short. Yes, there were a lot of collectibles and achievements, etc. But collecting things, IMHO, doesn't equal selling a game at twice the price of a SE game. I would much rather see a high quallity game, then all the collectibles and "fluff" that the developers are putting into games lately to make them appear CE worthy. Again, just my opinion. I will gladly wait for the SE game. I don't use wallpaper, etc., not did I use the SG once.
I recommend this game!

Oh yes, this is a good one. A game that immediately grabs your attention and pulls you in. This game has it all going on. Lots of adventure. Some very interesting IHOS. Puzzles. Collectables. Achievements. Strategy guide. Hint refills quickly if you need it, which you probably wont. It was an interactive map, yay, that just jets you right over to where you need to be, which is helpful because there are a lot of places to go as the game progresses. I didn't find this difficult, even though I am sort of new to this genre of game. Game ran great, no glitches. Sound and visuals were fine. I give this a 2 thumbs up. I've been waiting for a new game that caught my attention and here it is. Highly recommend !!!!!
