This is a great new series from Mad Head games, which is one of my favourite developers. From the start you are immersed into a sci-fi inspired world where normal life collides with the extraordinary. The graphics are stunning as well as the voice acting and cut scenes. There are collectibles and morphing objects to find with plenty to do in each scene without having to go back and forth in frustration. The mini games are on the simple side but as I was dropped on my head as a child simplicity is alright by me. I'm greatly impressed by this imaginative storyline and I'm already excited to see what comes next in this new series!

Crime scene investigation meets time management mania! It's a nice game where you play a detective desperate to solve a murder. You direct technicians to various points in the scene to collect evidence. They'll need specific tools such as brushes, cameras, specimen cups, and tweezers. Once they are given the correct tools they can gather evidence to be analyzed. There's nice dialogue in bubbles, a hidden mouse to capture in each scene, and achievements to earn. But here's the thing... as enjoyable this game is it needs a RELAX mode!!! I realize that there's a murder to be solved but sometimes I need to take a sip of my herbal tea and chill out before I look at all of the evidence. Just saying.

As a huge fan of the Incredible Dracula series, I was excited to see that a new edition had been released. I have been impressed with the game after more than 4 hours of enjoyable gameplay. (It being an instant buy for me.) The wonderful cast of characters are back with more hilarious missions to complete. My favorite level thus far was when Dracula was tasked with finding a princess who had been changed into a frog along with her friends. He used a magic mirror to single her out. The graphics are charming and the dialogue is entertaining. In the collector's addition, which I highly recommend, there are figurines and presents to find and bonus levels are available after the main game is completed. Give this game a try I think many of you will love it.

The next installment of Fantasy Mosaics is finally here with updated gameplay. There are more challenges in this edition that are new and unique to this series. Not all colors are available when you first start the picture which makes for more of a challenge where logic and symmetry are very important in advancing. You have tile styles to choose from, trophies to achieve, and collectibles to accumulate. This is a great game and I'm glad this developer has added a lot of new features to make for a great experience.

The cursed house series is back with a fifth installment. If you're a fan of the others in the series you will love this too. The gameplay is the same with updated icons and familiar extras to make for an enjoyable experience. From the start the gameplay is advanced with a guide book provided for quick reference. There are card games and HO games in between levels and a mansion to update as you progress. This by far is my favorite match3 series.

This is an great game. It's not a new game as it was released a year ago. But it is new to Big Fish with lots of collector's bling added. Lost Grimoires 3 was just released a few months ago with the same quality as the first two. I'm so glad that Big Fish is selling more Artifex Mundi games! This developer is known for excellence.

I love this developer's jigsaw puzzles. I have several of them including jigsaw puzzle beach season and jigsaw world tour: Asia which are my favorites. The gameplay is the same with varied features including the ability to modify each puzzle from the number of pieces you desire to whether you want the pieces to be rotational or not. You are given the option to begin with the border pieces before adding the rest of the puzzle pieces. You can have a ghost picture to make it easier to solve the puzzle as well.
The only complaint I have is that some of the pics seem overly staged with cheeky actors in period garments. But there are so many pics to choose from that you can skip over them. There is a great variety of pics to choose from sea life, jewelry, tropical fruit, tall ships, to island landscapes to name a few.

What an unexpected delight. This is a light hearted hidden- object adventure game packed with a lot of charm. Mortimer has just inherited his uncle's museum. Mortimer is quite the character, he loves talking to himself in a humorous fashion as he bumbles through the museum looking for the elusive book of gold his late uncle tasked him with in a letter he stumbles upon in the first level.
You find hidden objects that are in pieces that are littered throughout the scene. Some of them are not easy to find. The hint button is useful and recharges after a short amount of time. Once you piece together the objects you drag them into the scene to use. With in each chapter there is a mouse to find as well as a mini-game to complete. There is a skip button.
The game-play and graphics are flawless and the storyline is well constructed making this a quality game. This is a game the whole family can enjoy.

This is a charming and polished game. From the start, you are tasked with lifting a curse placed upon the bride and groom and all of its guests in a wedding you just arrived at. At first I didn't think the storyline was in keeping with a Christmas theme but in the end, with an unexpected twist in the plot, there is love and a reuniting of family which in a way is a Christmas Miracle that pulls at the heartstrings.
The gameplay is smooth with a map and customizable modes of play. The graphics and soundtrack have loads of Christmas charm and it's a game that can be enjoyed by everyone in the family. The only complaint I have is I thought the game itself was a bit short but not enough to take away from a 5 star rating. Cheers.
