i was able to preview this game and loved it Full game review -pros- -beautiful intro -graphics nice and clear -sound quality was very good -character vo's were perfect for the characters -game play was very fun -interface was excellent -interactive map...did not use it til the end -collect penguins -nice mini game very challenging
-cons- ho's were very junky some items were nearly impossible to find...not a game to play if your tired
-BC- was delightful loved the cats! It was not one of those that everything is done in one scene so took longer then usual to play it...how wonderful to feel like it was a real game within a game :)
-Personal thoughts- i personally really enjoyed playing this game...it did seem the more you got into the game the more junky the ho's got to be...not that they should not be challenging but some were so hidden had to use hint button several times; which i almost never do...loved the BC it was very fun and not as short as most BC's :) won't put anything else since it more than likely has been covered in other reviews....would have reviewed sooner but for some reason was not showing up in my browser until today.
P.S. going to play it again and see if i can collect all the penguins...did not know they were there till i accidently clicked on one lol

Review of completed game: -Pros- -Graphics are nice and clear -Music was nice and not irritating -vo's most fit the characters -nice achievements and collectables -game play was easy -good mini puzzles -ho's were nice and clear and interactive withing the ho's
-Cons- -game felt too short for a CE -some ho's were a bit junky
-BC- was also short which most seem to be for some odd reason...was fun tho.
-Personal thoughts- i would have given it a 5 star rating if it was not such a short playing game...that was my biggest :( otherwise wonderful game! also not many ho's really. Completed the game in about 4 hours. I try to give unbiased reviews no matter how much i love a game or dislike it.
-pros visual graphics are clear good hint system non-interactive map u receive interesting cinamatics hos were clear and not hard to find not tiny or junkpiled like so many hos games easy interface and gameplay
-cons opening the picture moves around thought it might be that way later but it was not. no vo's alot of back and forth
-personal thoughts- i was disappointed that there were no vos cannot comment on the music since i muted it...actually you don't need any sound to play this game...over all i thought it was a bit old fashioned and dated...but a nice game to play on a rainy day will get it with a gbp i do not think it is worth 6.99 tho. not sure of the length since i have not bought it yet...i do give it a 3.5 stars because of the unique game play
I recommend this game!

Gemini Lost
A strange light leads your group to an unfamiliar world! Build a new society, while searching for a way back home!
i have had this game since 2009 and i finally decided to finish playing it :)
nice graphics no vo's mini puzzles not to hard did need the walkthru a few times near the end. the peeps are nicely done and easy to see and find
the only thing i did not care for is in the bio it did not tell you who the spouse was...just that they were married if your peep's spouse dies u can remarry...big plus i only needed the walkthrough 2x near the end if u continuously play it about 24 hours of play...so i felt it was a bit short.
not as hard as VV series still waiting for the sequel it did say to be continued...
i definately think this game is a winner even with it's short comings
I recommend this game!

Putt-Putt Saves the Zoo
Putt-Putt and Pep need your child's help to reunite the little ones with their parents before Outback Al can open the zoo gates.
pros- =nice and clear animated graphics =vo's were nice and clear you can understand what the characters are saying =at main animal stations there is a box that tells basic into on the animals only =storyline is nice find baby animals =nearly everything is a bit interactive...click on something and it does something but no clues or anything
-cons =not much for a tutorial =window mode only everything else is just black =alot of running around =is meant for kids pretty much =no real direction for the main char to go or do...basically it is look and find stuff and then u have to guess where u need to use it...so if this is meant for a child they would have a hard time
-personal thoughts- i rescued only 1 animal in nearly an hour... you need to remember where things are...like ok u found a rope where do u use it? (not telling do not want to spoil where u finally figured out where to use it. so i think this should be for 10 yrs and up...not for 5 and under...to much details and alot to do and remember...all in all not a bad game even for adults. not worth 6.99 altho i might get it on sale or a gcc but this is just my opinion
HAPPY GAMING!
I recommend this game!

Royal Envoy: Campaign for the Crown
King or Swindler? Who will be the new ruler of the Kingdom?
i played the CE demo and i was really disappointed that they did not include the relaxed mode and no way was i paying 13.99 for just a few extra levels... i really enjoyed all the RE's this one is more like the 1st one with no relaxed mode but this is a TM so use your logic skills and play this game...i read the reviews for the CE...quit your complaining and just enjoy the game!
-pros nice graphics familiar game play fun characters in this one there is an added evil character and some fun levels that are challenging like saving 20 workers in time :)
-cons well it is a TM so this part is up to you and a RE :)
-personal thoughts yes i got spoiled with the relaxed mode but i usually play hoa's there are a few tms i really enjoy and this is one of them. and this one is a very nice addition to the RE collection and shame on those who complain about not having a "relaxed" mode if all tms had a relaxed mode then they would not be a tm now would they? i admit i do enjoy relaxed mode because i do have a tendency to be lazy but there are those that are just plain fun to play relaxed or not :)
-vo's clear and can understand them -graphics are clear -the teddy was cute -interactive map storyline was nice and a nice change but u still have to save a family member (what else is new?
-cons
nothing extra to achieve no unlockables tutorial was lame puzzles not really very original the scientist that pops in can become annoying and may take away from the enjoyment of playing at least it does for me...
personal thoughts
the teddy character i felt was very engaging a bit of comic relief. the voice for the main characters voice was the same as in "the golden years: way out west" hmm same dev? idk as u can see by the size of the file it will not be a very long game...unless you need the sg and bc you may want to wait for the SE. but me i have gotten CE addicted LOL i did like it very much altho this does not hold a candle to the better devs like yesterdays new release but still a very nice game :)
-pros -clear graphics -music is good -vo's are very nicely done -interactive map tells you where you need to do things and you can jump there -2 achievable items per screen one morphing the other a humming bird continues to -puzzles are pretty easy and some very challenging
-cons a bit on the easy side over all feels a bit short given the file size i figured i would play longer...about 4.5 hours including BC -demo was only 45 min for me...so a bit on the short side.
-personal thoughts- this was a fun game i liked the bc as well...the characters were engaging...nothing really spooky or scary at least to me but then i am a horror fan (lol) if you missed a morphing or hummingbird you can replay the game under same name and you can collect it 2nd time around also any mini-games u had to skip...will show up in achievements section which is why i gave it a 4 star rating. i got caught up in the game and story that as soon as i finished demo had to buy it! HAPPY GAMING!!
pros- -nice and clear -sound not too annoying if it is... turn it off! ;) -story is a bit different but the result is the same -SAVE the kingdom! -characters are original ^^ -tasks not so hard that they are not impossible to achieve -better than the last tm that came out the other day -getting gold unlocks items for your characters to wear very nice idea :)
-cons it does seem like your workers move a bit slow tho well it is a tm so it can become repetious not much negative i can really say about it :)
-personal thoughts- personally i am not a tm person but i really liked this game. it is fresh and unique and your not clicking constantly (yay!) i am seriously thinking of using my game credit for this one :)
pros -clear graphics -4 modes of play -cannot comment on music or sound i usually keep mine off especially on tm's -you choose male or female player
cons -withing just a few levels it is nearly impossible to achieve gold --tutorial is only for 2 levels, there may be tips throughout but i did not play long enough to know for sure...i get frustrated easily like the no timer ones best :) -personal thoughts- this is not a bad game. i played the easiest level and still could not get gold; i don't mind the challenge but o do not care for impossible! not sure if i will use my game credit on it or not...but this is a tm persons dream ^^
