This game looked really interesting so I was eager to try it out. It did not take long for me to get bored. The storyline about being on board a ship is not really a new one. I found, however, that it felt rather awkward maneuvering around. The game is a mix of hand drawn artwork and computer animation that seems cumbersome and takes time to load a bit between scenes. You have tiny white pearls to search for in each scene and although you can lighten or darken the screen, the first HOG I went through had a couple of very tiny and or light colored items. The camera floats about, which you can turn off, but overall just the effort of moving around frustrated me. There was also dialogue that frequently used the "Jesus!" exclamation which was a turn off. Overall, I think the intentions of the creators was good, but advanced HOGgers may not like this one. I did not, deleted it about 14 minutes in.
I don't recommend this game.

I bought Evy: Magic Spheres because I am such a fan of luxor. I am not sorry I bought it. It is one of the most cute, enchanting ball popper games I have played in a long time. It is a keeper!! The challenges and levels are a mix of ball popping and mini games that have the perfect balance along with the storyline of Evy, the kings daughter, who is out to save the kingdom while fighting a bevy of magic sphere wielding villians. Try the demo first, but I am sure even die hard old HOGgers like me will love this.
I recommend this game!
Only by discovering clues left by advanced civilizations can you stop the return of an ancient enemy and save Earth.

The Last Days is one of the worst games I have ever encountered. Very hard to navigate, hints are worthless, no different playing levels, the whole game feels extremely awkward with no fluidity to it.
The storyline of going to bimini is interesting but the artwork is poor, and the way it was put together makes it extremely boring. I deleted this after about six minutes of play. I would not even purchase this at 2.99.

The title looked promising but the game itself is only something a beginner would appreciate. Given the high graphics and content of games right now, this one is a throwback to a simple, uncomplicated HOG that is strung together with a bare storyline of searching for your friend and encountering ghosts in an old haunted farmhouse.
No different play levels, you can skip the tutorial, but the game leads you by the nose, not letting you do anything but what you are supposed to. Its primarily one HOG scene after another with dialogue stringing it together. I turned off the sound then the game after about 10 minutes, Too easy and too boring.

I really enjoyed playing the Saint: Abyss of Despair. The unique storyline of an ex-priest in africa is rather nice. The graphics, HOGs and dialogue is about perfect. The only complaint i had is that this is shorter than i think it should be. I felt like it should have been a longer game.
Given the fact I spent a game credit on it, I don't feel as bad. I recommend the demo play first before purchasing this.

I had high hopes for Mysteries of the Undead. The storyline of being wrecked on an island inhabited by zombies and having to rescue your friend is definately not a new one, but having bought this one on sight I was a bit disappointed in it.
The game is cumbersome and runs too slowly. It takes too much time between scenes to load. It was not my computer causing this. Also, I tend to play most games with the volume off, and every time I opened the game, I had to reset the volume as it did not keep my settings. There was also a bad issue of language barrier in the HOG scenes with many items not being called by their correct names. It resulted in having to click on random items. There were also a couple of items that were click sensitive, meaning you had to click on a certain part of them to make it work. I frankly got tired of this. When I finished the game, it did not load end credits and I had to bail out via the game manager to get out of it. I was relieved to delete this. Its a shame it has many issues as this would or could have been awesome if it weren't so sluggish and clumsy.

Am I dead? Apparently, and you have no memory of how it happened. Death may be the least of your problems.

I wasn't expecting much from this game when I saw there was no level of play option. That in itself was a red flag. The game is years behind what is out on the market now. The plot, "What has happened to me?" is nothing out of the ordinary, and the game leads you around by the nose, practically giving you the answers to everything. The graphics are good, not the best I have seen, but overall, I deleted the demo after about 15 minutes. Die hards will find this game far too easy and better suited for a child or a beginner.
I don't recommend this game.

I waited for the normal issue of 9: The Dark Side of Notre Dame to be released before buying it. I was not disappointed, as this is a really great game that keeps your interest and has clever mini games.The artwork is incredibly well done and really captures Paris. I would have given this five stars but *possible spoiler* the way the game just abruptly ends was sloppy and not well thought out.
My assumption is that you would be best purchasing the CE version instead of this one for that reason.

Usually I like Sugar Games. This one, however, misses the mark as it is far too basic compared to other games on the market. It has a built in tutorial that does not have the ability to be turned off, and it spends lots of time loading screens. I also noted that there did not seem to be a lot of storyline in the HOG scenes/minigames, which again, were very basic (set the lock dial, pack the trunk). I think this would be a great game for a beginner but not for an old HOGger like me.
I don't recommend this game.
