This was the first game I bought from Big Fish and I've bought many games since, but this didn't disappoint. The graphics are nice and the hidden object scenes are straightforward, as are the puzzles and mini puzzles. I like games where you don't get stuck enough so that you have to go to any strategey guide, or walkthrough and this is one of them. The story and plot are very understated and subtle. It doesn't have a convoluted plot or over describes and there are no long and pointless cinematics here. So a satisfying, self explanatory, well paced game. I don't have a good sense of direction in games and am always getting hopelessly lost but not in this one. Also, you don't meet anyone in the game, you are completely alone and if you like that kind of thing in games, then this is for you. Good sound effects and atmosphere throughout. The only downside is, the ending is a little abrupt, but that's a little thing. I played it again, just this week, after a year away, and enjoyed it just as much.
I recommend this game!

10 Days Under The Sea
Locate an ancient compass and ambush fish for five-star photos in this gorgeous underwater Hidden Object game.
This is very relaxing.The scenes and also the background music has a psychedelic vibe which really chills you out and adds to the atmosphere of the game. I don't normally like background music in games but it compliments this one very well. This is quite an old school game. It has straight forward hidden object scenes with some puzzles in between and you can skip puzzles straight away.There are limited hints, only four hints in each chapter but there are also four other special bonus hints that you can acquire in the hidden object scenes. Each chapter consists of five underwater or island scenes and you go to different countries in each chapter. Lots of different fish pass by regulary. If you feed them, you get heaps more fish passing by and there's a chance of getting a fish with a question mark on its body. i.e a much needed extra hint. You can also scare the fish away, in order to see the hidden objects better. You also get to take photos of the many varied fish, which go into an album. There is some photography skill involved here and that's almost like another game in itself! The re-playability is also very good. I'm playing it for the third time right now.
Such an unusual game with lots of crazy, well rounded characters. Hidden object scenes are puzzles in themselves. You have to think outside the box on occasion. Unlike the new HOGS, it will make you work for your supper. It will never lead you by the hand and tell you exactly what to do next but you will be able to complete it without too much trouble. Some objects are diificult to find but not impossible. Puzzles are fun and not predictable. Cartoon type graphics. There's a slow hint button. If it doesn't make you chuckle, it should at least make you smile. A longish game and you will get your moneys worth.

It's all about masks
Travel to 19th century Europe in this mysterious Hidden Object game! Discover who is behind the mask and unravel the case!
A mystery set in the late Victorian era. It's atmospheric with music that sounds like it could have come from a movie. The objects are quite challenging to find at times. Puzzles fairly easy. Hint and puzzle buttons are slow to charge up. While the hidden object scenes are realistic and have attractive graphics, they can be messy and crammed with objects. Ideally, it's a game to be savoured and not rushed.
I recommend this game!

Plagiarii
Travel into the past to discover the mystery behind strange disappearances.
This straight forward hidden object game is almost ten years old, which is exactly the vintage that I like. The story line is romance/medieval, combined with a science fiction/time travel element. The game seems to have predicted the future of the current HOGS, by parodying the cliched and predictable aspects of the latest games on offer. It has that rare characteristic of having a clear linear story line, so there's no going back to other scenes to find hidden objects. Scenes don't get repeated. Puzzles in between hidden object scenes are generally easy but fun. There is a slowish skip button for puzzles and a hint button for everything else. Music is relaxing and artwork is unusual and attractive. What I like most about it, is the hidden crystals in every scene (including puzzle scenes) If you get them all, or nearly all, you are rewarded at the end by bonus artwork, which reveals what happened to the characters at the end of the story. Doesn't sound like much but I enjoyed it. I've played it twice - the second time to get all the crystals I missed- and I found it much more exciting the second time.

Zuzu & Pirates
Defend Zuzu from the pirates! Find the stolen honey, and build a castle to protect your Zuzu family in Zuzu & Pirates!
It's quirky and cute and fun. The graphics aren't too bad and you can find objects fairly easily. There's a hint button plus you can skip the puzzles striaght away. If you like old school hidden object games, without gimmicks or complexities and just want to relax, then this is the game for you.
