I loved it! Bought it after 20 min., as soon as I realized it was like Bistro Boulevard for clothing shops. If you've played Bistro, you'll see that this has the same basics...hire & train staff, wait on customers, decorate the shops, purchase appropriate clothing selections based upon each customers preferences. Excellent graphics, challenging, but not impossibly frustrating, fun to decorate shops, can't rate sound as I play with it muted. I've been waiting for another in the "Boulevard" series to come out. They're great for people like myself, who enjoy TM games, but have a difficult time with some of the fast paced ones.
I recommend this game!

This is a typical Sudoku, with 1 major improvement: squares on the boards are separated for easier viewing. I love Sudoku puzzles, but so many of them contain boards with squares which tend to run together. Also, with this one, you are able to choose from 4x4, 6x6, etc... right from the beginning. Another "pro" for this one is that you are able to type in the number rather than selecting from a list using a cursor. I've purchased this game and played MANY of the boards with no end in sight!! Good length of time to play without having to repeat puzzles. If you're looking for a great way to "exercise" your brain, this is it. For those not familiar with Sudoku and not into math, don't let the use of numbers cloud your judgement...Sudoku has got nothing to do with math; any character may be used in place of numbers. Some of these puzzles use ABC's, pictures of objects, shapes, etc... If you like puzzles, in general, give this one a try!
I recommend this game!
Once upon a time in the small, undistinguished town of Silentville people started disappearing. Help uncover the mystery behind these disappearances and save the town from a curse!

Although I haven't written many reviews, I knew, with this one, I had to write! After playing 15 min. of the Free Trial, I purchased this one. Now, I've completed 1 hour & I'm not disappointed in my purchase. So far, all the HO scenes require interaction in order to uncover the required HO...well concealed, but not impossible to locate, due to very clear graphics, good color & brightness in HO scenes. HINT refills quickly, MAP & JOURNAL available. HINT button takes you directly to the location needed to complete next step. Mini-games are fairly typical, require a bit of thinking, but not impossibly frustrating as some tend to be. This is one of the few stories that is interesting, with dialogue that provides necessary info; you may SKIP dialogue, but you may miss needed info. Although the characters are "frozen" in time, due to magic, I haven't found any gory scenes, murders, etc... I enjoy these mysteries, but tend to tire of all the blood & gore! I'm playing in the Expert mode, but Casual is available for those not real familiar with iHOG. I'm deaf, so I play with sound muted. I highly recommend this iHOG, based on my first hour...especially during this "buy 1-get 1 free" weekend ! Thanks, BFG, for another keeper!
I recommend this game!

Based on some of the earlier reviews, almost skipped this one...glad I didn't. I play most Match-3 games and prefer the ones in which you can build/furnish, etc... with the resources which you collect--this was one of those. Not difficult to achieve necessary goals & able to play in relaxed/non-timed mode, also. Good, clear graphics, due to deafness, can't rate sound quality. There is a lot of dialogue, which you can't skip, but it moves quickly and provides the reason why you must reach specific goals. Upon reaching each goal, while collecting resources, you are able to add to your citadel...several categories from which to choose, like Plantations, Vegetation, Roads, Buildings (univ., hosp., etc...). if you're looking for a nice, relaxing Swap Match-3, this fits the bill ! I purchased it even prior to completing the free trial and after playing for another 2 hours (still not done), I'm glad that I did !
I recommend this game!

Being a fan of interactive HOG, I've tried more than I can count, but this is, by far, my favorite. Purchased before the Free Trial even ran out and found it to be well worth the cost. Very long gameplay, challenging mini-games, clear graphics, interesting storyline without lots of dialogue. Easy to navigate locations as the scenes follow a logical sequence...not too difficult to remember where you need to go and what types of items you'll need to locate. I highly recommend this one for any HOG fans! Hope you enjoy it, also!
