good story line where you are trying to find out why your twin sister has gone rogue and is hurting people. you were separated when you were young skating in central park and she fell through the ice. you find a medallion just like the one she pushed all those years ago and put it in the rock where there was identical indention where the one your sister pressed and the ice started cracking. then it happened to you. you and your family have always believed she was alive somewhere. there is an interactive map and a "custom" level. another in the series.....i believe it could be.

a good storyline, but would you expect anything less from this series?
great game. has a custom level, map and diary or objectives. great hint system. you are called in to find out why the "purple tide" is back after being gone for centuries. an eel of unbelievable proportions is terrorizing everyone. you need to find a way to break the curse and save everyone. sequel....i am sure since this is another in the series.

Queen's Garden
In this exciting match-3 game, you’ve been called upon by the Queen to cultivate the biggest garden ever. Are you up to the task?
it got kind of repetitive after a while but it is a straight match 3 with a few, very few, hidden object scenes. they are fairly simple. good game for the kids or adults. kids may get tired of it after a while. they could come back to it. the attention span of the child would be the factor. no power ups or anything.
I recommend this game!

a little challenging due to the cluter and small objects
i like this series of games, but this one has very small objects in a very cluttered scene that you have to find. you need to collect a certain number of candy canes in each HO scene and also collect objects representing the 12 days of christmas. i didn't find them all. the hints don't show these. if you don't mind the small objects and clutter you will enjoy it.

Paranormal Pursuit: The Gifted One
Every second counts in this breathtaking paranormal adventure!
the game has a custom level, interactive map, journal. you are a social services worker in the juvenile division that gets an anonymous call about child abuse and sets out to investigate. you arrive at the home of a cop and right off you know he is lying. you find the boy in the basement and go on the run with him and try to figure out his paranormal powers and what is behind them and why the cop lied to you. the story keeps you interested. i would highly recommend it. sequel in the series? i would think so.
I recommend this game!

Mystery Trackers: Blackrow's Secret
You're about to uncover the secret that's been haunting Blackrow!
i enjoyed this game. it had an interative map and 4? levels of gameplay. you are looking for people that have disappeared in the town and you meet blackrow's widow and she is continuing her late husband's research. i can't tell you too much about what happens with the research because that would spoil it for others. sequel......oh yes, pretty sure of that.
I recommend this game!

Haunted Manor: Painted Beauties
A peaceful day at the park becomes a journey into the surreal when you become the latest victim of a troubled artist's deal with Death!
this is a long game. it does have an interactive map but you have to remember where you need to go. there is not a legend about where the objectives are or anything. there is a list of tasks. i was all over the game field because i couldn't remember where i needed to go. there were pictures of the scenes but it didn't help me so much. i would still recommend it. you are looking for an artist that paints women and then traps them in the paintings to give to death so he won't die. she is very greedy and he has to keep painting. he came across this thing by accident. death needs the souls and he traps them in the painting and every time death comes for him he gives her a soul. yes that is right.....death is a woman.
The old historic mansion in Istanbul is being renovated into a hotel and when the owner summons you to fix the grand clock you discover that there are dark secrets contained within.
i seldom review a game until i have played it through. i only played 28 minutes of this demo and i really don't like it at all. it was boring!!!! the music was bad. definately needs a lot of work. HO is one of my two favorite genres. this was HO , but nothing i liked. i WOULD NOT RECOMMEND this game until it is updated!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't recommend this game.

Dark Realm: Queen of Flames
Without warning, a group of mysterious figures arrives and reduces your village to flames and rubble. What do they want... and who is controlling them?
this is a great game with an interactive map and a journal. it has a custom level that you can set the length of the hints and skips. you are searching for the other half of a medallion that you have and you are fighting dragons and banshees all the way through the game. you have help along the way. i recommend the game. sequel? i don't know why not!!

Mystery Case Files: Dire Grove, Sacred Grove Collector's Edition
this was a very good MCF game. i liked the music and all. it has a diary and an interactive map. no custom level, though. i have enjoyed the others a tad bit more but would still recommend it. you have been called back to dire grove because they are experiencing record-breaking cold and wild animals are attacking so most everyone was evacuated and just a few remain. they want to know what is going on. i finished the game and then played the bonus content and the alternate ending. the game froze a few times. i have just updated everything so i don't think it was my computer. i did a complete scan yesterday and did the recommended updates there as well. sequel........of course there will be another MCF of some kind. there was a feather left behind at the end of the alternate ending so i guess that is to signify a continuation.
