I don't often take the time to review games, but I heartily recommend this one following completion of the SE. I enjoyed the demo so much that I purchased the game 15 minutes in - and it's been a while since that happened!
Vermillion Watch has an interesting storyline that kept my attention throughout. It also incorporates some interesting features such as allowing the player to select the order in which you complete segments of the game.
The hidden object scenes were all one-time use and incorporated several different types. I'm not a puzzle fan, but they were also varied.
Solid length - I played straight through and finished in about 5 1/2 hours (skipped a few puzzles, because puzzles). Good voice acting and appropriate music were the icing on the cake. Definitely worth a demo.

This is a straightforward TM game, similar in style, but not as complex as something like Northern Tales. There is a cute storyline with a plucky heroine and I enjoyed it quite a bit.
First off - This is the most engaging TM game series I've ever played! Cute artwork, an interesting storyline and endearing characters combine to provide hours of fun!
If you haven't tried any of the Delicious games currently available on Big Fish, this is the one to start with! Then follow along through: Wonder Wedding, Honeymoon Cruise, New Beginnings and Home Sweet Home.
Each game is just as good as the last! Every time I download a new one, I have to ration myself to keep from running through the entire thing non-stop - they're that good!
I recommend this game!

Jo's Dream Organic Coffee 2
Help Jo open a new coffee shop and win the grand prize at the prestigious Coffee Festival!
I had tried the original Jo's Coffee game and hadn't purchased it. Based on some good reviews and my all out search for a good time management game, I tried Jo's Coffee 2. This is not what I was looking for.
The gameplay is clunky and doesn't flow from task to task. You can't pick up items for more than one customer at a time and because the order doesn't remain on display, you have to click on the customer again to confirm what they ordered. In the later levels, you have many drink recipes to remember, which I found more annoying than challenging.

Loved it! Take one sassy vamp on a quest, add fabulous artwork and a Scarlet Furies soundtrack and it's a fabulous ride!
Fair warning, this game was meant to be part one of two segments, and some unfortunate development disconnect has cancelled the 2nd half, leaving us with an unsatisfying ending.
Still, I recommend it for the sheer fun Dahlia's world provides and in the hope that some day, we fans will be rewarded with the rest of her story.

I tried this game on the weight of reviews that favorably compared it to the Delicious series.
Having purchased and played all three Delicious games available at Big Fish, I must strongly disagree! The art style and game mechanism are quite different from the Delicious series, the storyline didn't engage me, and frankly, I found the entire thing boring.
Taste is very personal, and obviously, some folks enjoyed it, but I couldn't make myself finish the demo.
After investigating a series of ritual murders on the foggy streets of London, detective James Voodoo discovers a supernatural conspiracy on a global scale.

I love the premise and steampunk-ish feel of this game, but the movement and mechanics are just too "clunky" for enjoyable gameplay. Definitely needs work.
This game really engaged me from the start. It has a very unique feel and the story line drew me in. As another reviewer mentioned, it seems to start a bit slow, but picks up quickly once the 'game' is on. The HOS are varied and the puzzles are very doable. Time wise, it took me 4 hours on advanced setting without skipping any puzzles. The ending did feel a bit rushed, but I wouldn't let that dissuade you. It still ranks as one of my favorites in quite a while.
Save the life of a young girl being held captive by nefarious hooded characters...
Great length of game play (on the middle setting I spent about 9 hours over three days) and a moderate number of HOS. I consider this game to have lots of puzzles and generally that turns me off, but most of these were fairly simple - a few not so much so.
There is no map, so you will have to do a bit of back and forth, but they keep the active field reasonably sized, so you're only moving 3-5 clicks at a time when you're required to return to a previous location. I did find myself challenged once or twice when I needed to use a hint to figure out what to do next.
I found the story line enjoyable and the game play sufficiently logical to hold my interest. I would definitely check out future games by these devs.
