My first Big Fish Game was the series the Secret Order-Ancient Times. I absolutely loved it. The graphics were gorgeous, the HOG were good but not overwhelming. Story line was great. Shadow Breach follows the same patter of enjoyment. And just like the other Secret Order games I have, I will play this one more than once.
Thanks for all the years of enjoyment.

You thought this would be just like any other investigation. But now you find yourself lost in a mysterious mansion brimming with strange creatures, comatose colleagues, and mysterious tentacles around every corner…

I rarely give a bad review, because so much work go into putting these games together. This will be short and to the point. Almost everything I clicked on had "You found a brand new animal" etc. That's okay for the first 5 times, after that, not so much.
With a title like Haunted Halls, I was expecting more than the graphics I got...some of which were just, plain silly.
It was hard to see what was in my inventory because of the dark background.
There's not much point going on, because I didn't stay with the game that long. I might consider playing it if I was destitute, had no money, and it was the only game I had left that was not played. Even then, I would have to think it over...strongly.

This is the first game in this new series by Elephant Games. I was skeptical at first, because I wasn't sure the game would or could live up to a good ghost story. This did, and the lead character, Rick Rogers, has wit. That's a new touch for most of the games I've played. The puzzles are challenging and the background music is far from annoying.
If this bodes what future games will be like, I'll be in line to get the next one. Good job. I will be playing it again

I've known Casual Arts as games for Christmas, but this one is Halloween. If you're looking for good character graphics, don't hold your breath. However, if you've played Casual Arts games before, it's not shock. The HOS and puzzles are good. The game stays in Halloween theme, which is nice. It's good for kids 10+, but I'm an adult and enjoy it. The game doesn't take all that long to play, but you play again as a different character and things move around.
I recommend this game!

The graphics were amazing. I wish the story was up to the same level. The plot was on the 'simple' side. It would have been nice if it was more complicated with greater twists and turns as some of the previous Haunted Hotels. I usually have a few puzzles that stump me, there weren't any in this game. I'd still recommend this game to entry level gamers. It's fun, it's just too easy.
I recommend this game!

This game has been a long time coming; I even contacted Casual Arts to learn it would be out before Christmas. I have all 7 of the Christmas Wonderland games This one is just as fun as the others, though # 4 still remains my favorite, but this comes in a solid 2nd. The graphics are what you expect from the Christmas Wonderland games, and while many believe these are for kids, Casual Arts has realized that many adults are enjoying them as well and are making some of the puzzles harder. Just as the others, during the holidays this becomes a favorite to play.
I recommend this game!
After using a secret alias to board the Titanic, things go terribly wrong and you find yourself trapped among the wreckage. In order to earn freedom from your watery tomb you must appease your captor by re-writing history and freeing the spirits trapped aboard the 'unsinkable' luxury liner as well as discover why fate has chosen this destiny for you.

The flashbacks in the game where one went from the seafloor where the Titanic ended up to the opulence of the ship before it hit the iceberg was nicely done. The game wasn't so convoluted that you couldn't figure it out since there's no walk-through. I enjoyed the story line and the music that changed from being haunting when your character seemed to be dead and when you seemed to be alive and on the Titanic itself. It is a game I will play again.
Figuring out who was who and where the story was going was one of the genuine pleasures of the game. It had me stumped until the end.

I have always been interested in the Titanic, so I decided to try this game. The music was haunting but not overwhelming. The diary that progressed through the story kept my interest, and the ending was what I expected and knew,but it was no less a great story. The hidden objects are okay, but it's the rarely known facts about the Titanic that drives the story.
I recommend this game!

This was one of the most enjoyable Mystery Case Files games I've played in a long time. I have played Dire Grove, which is still my favorite, but this is a close second. The challenges make one have to think to figure them out. I shall have to play it again sometime so that I can hopefully get on the 'Top Agents' roster. Those players are REALLY good. HOPs are superb; sometimes they drive you a little crazy, but you can't give up on them. The graphics are good, some are a little overwhelming (ie) the gluttonous eater, but that's all part of the game. This is a game you can play, and then play again.
I recommend this game!

The game was okay. However. as my title stated, I found some of the clues a stretch. I can usually figure them out, but more than once I needed to go to the 'game strategy'. Then I found some things made sense and some still didn't. I think my MAIN beef with this game was the intro. There was no 'skip' to it. When you play and then have to leave, you need to repeat the intro as many times as you return. That got old after the 3rd time. I have to say I enjoyed Dire Grove much more. It was logical. If you're into abstract, I think you'll like this.
I recommend this game!
