The developer of this game has always been one of my favorites, but when I read the game was not rated for 10 and under, I had to try it. Excellent game - a must buy for me. I won't rehash what the other reviewers have written, but urge you to give it a try - it is a very good game. Looking forward to some entertainment this weekend! Thanks BFG!
A long-forgotten artifact has just resurfaced, and the race to claim it will cause a devastating war. The only thing strong enough to stop it is one woman’s promise to the man she loves.
The review is based on the Demo on Advanced. First off, the graphics are stunning. I played the game on a laptop with a 14" screen, and was able to pick out all the objects on the HOS, so that was pretty nice.
Your character is Catherine, and you are trying to find Daniel and Antonio Diego. You meet various people, good and evil, that may or may not help you achieve your goal.
Levels are Casual and Advanced. The advanced level kept helping me, especially when putting together a map - it highlighted each piece when it was close to the location.
You have a journal and transporting map, plus a cryptic disk to uncover hidden symbols.
Puzzles were interesting, but not very difficult. Missed the morphing objects, achievements etc etc etc. Seemed almost one dimensional. Would be a nice game as an SE, if they keep the map and disk.
Way too many cutscenes, but you can advance through them.
This game is beautiful, absolutely a blast to play, music is great, love the sound of the jewels breaking, challenge is really up there. Your match 3 game but quite a bit of strategy involved as you get to the higher levels. No extras to help you complete a screen (dynamite, cute characters or anything else); it is just you and this darn game.
With that being said, I hate this game! Why? because I have NEVER been able to complete the last screen. I don't know if I just don't think outside the box or what, but neither my hustand or myself has succeeded in beating this game!
Will I play again? Of course!! This is a great game! (Maybe I'll win next time!)
Wow! What genius came up with this game? If I want to have a challenge without trying to remember where the heck I was in a game (HOS and Adventure), I'll play Cradle of Rome.
A match 3 game that really gets the adrenaline going....beautiful graphics, timed sesssions that really seem to get shorter and shorter, plus you can earn bombs etc to help to get to the next level.
Not your average match 3. Over 100 levels - worth every penny! My husband and I have probably played this game through at least 7 times.

Sequel to Final Cut: Death on the Silver Screen. You start off 1 year after Morton Wolf died...Review is based on demo on Challenging level.
Developer is EIPIX, excellent graphics and sound.
Three modes: Casual, Challenging and Expert. You can change the difficulty at any time. Transporting Map is very useful.
Some of the dialogue scenes use real characters and you can advance through the cut scenes.
12 Morphing objects 37 Film Strips 10 Four leaf clovers 4 kites on map
Many achievements, which can access at any time.
HOS are interactive; can switch to match 3 if you'd like.
Excellent game. So much to do, what a refreshing change. Plus you switch between scenes (sets) which gives it more of a challenge. Mini puzzles are just right.
Only Con was if you stall in a scene, a sparkle will flash where you should be doing something. Guess I could always change to Expert.
Whoa - I almost bought this game just on the reviews. Seeing that it was a bargain at $2.99 (when you purchase the new Nightmares of the Deep: The Siren's Call CE), I thought what the heck, 5 Stars? I should buy it! But, I've been burned before. Played the demo.....painful. Granted, the graphics were beautiful and the game seemed long. But, the puzzles were just too easy and the gameplay slow.
You've arrived in the peaceful resort town of Aurora Peak to investigate some mysterious local crystals. But the devious plot you uncover there could endanger the entire world!
Well, I read the reviews and thought this should be interesting. After the first half hour, thought it was a bit easy, but then hit a wall in the game. Drove me nuts not being able to figure it out, so had to resort to the guide (I HATE doing that!) to continue. Just didn't warm up to the game, but... The graphics are absolutely beautiful. Games were fun, love having a ratio of more mini puzzles to HOS. The other reviewers covered all the morphing, achievements, guide and map. I think this is a really good game. I will probably buy it as the SE, because I just didn't fall in love with the game. If I had played it before last weekend, I would have purchased the CE when the sale was in effect. I also am not familiar with the developer, VASI Studios. Demo'd it on Medium level.

Ah, my first marble popper game! Received this one as a Christmas gift, and found I stayed up all night playing it. Addicting, rewarding, frustrating. So in a world: GREAT! What a beautiful game, plus I think my reflexes and hand to brain coordination has improved!

My second marble popper game, and what a GREAT game! Starts off deceptively easy, hey, I can do this…..then, Whoa! This game is getting a bit faster and with MORE marbles! Not just the match 3 marbles, but a true strategy game with trying to get long strands of marbles matched to complete the screen. A game that should be in everyone’s collection.

I love marble poppers, especially ones that I have a hope of finishing!I have the first Atlantis, and I admit it, I cannot finish the last game. My husband has finished this game 5 times; me, zero. So, when Sky Patrol game out with special bombs and helpers you can use, I knew I had a chance. Love the music with the game, and the graphics are beautiful. Yippee! Besides having a blast with this game, I actually finished it. Would I play it again? YES!
