This is more like an interactive movie than a game. Lots of info with a good story. Nat Geo packed this with tons of info for those who want to learn, but skippable for those with no patience. The story is good, yet another perspective of what may have happened within the events. WARNING: This game is NOT for those who want a cut and paste game. YOU have to figure out where to go, what to do, there is no hand holding. No directional arrows to dumb down where to go, it's up to you to navigate. I love a good mindless, time passing game--this is not one of those. HO scenes are easy to intermediate, but sometimes have discrepancies. There are many fun mini games that can get pretty hard. The game play, which normally is simply filler in other games, moves you, clue by clue, towards the dark mystery of that night. Overall, it's a smart game, not a time killer.
I recommend this game!

I appreciated this game for overall appeal. I enjoyed the setting, the story, the people. It felt like a quiet English town, and you were in the middle of it. What I didn't like was the HOscenes. Most of the time I wasn't finding objects, I was finding shadows. I don't mind a cluttered HOS, that's part of the challenge, but when the object I'm finding is a shadow of something, it makes me wonder what the clutter is there for.
I played the FULL hour of the demo, but would not buy the game-it's too hard. This game would be fantastic for the HOGamer who really wants a challenge. The upside of the HOS is that there is no penalty for random clicking and you have unlimited hints. I just wished I could have progressed the dialogue at my own pace, because I enjoyed the characters and their stories.
I don't recommend this game.

Fairy Treasure is a great brick busting game, a classic already. Game play starts easy, but not too slow, and progresses to really challenging levels. Don't just break bricks, catch falling coins, gems, and other treasures that will help you with your score and game. Watch what your ball comes in contact with because it can change the ball's performance, mostly for the good, but not always. Beautiful music, visuals, and fun characters that will help, or hurt, your progress. Fairy Treasure is a game I think everyone should have.
I recommend this game!

This is a great Hidden Object game. Losts of rooms to look through, and a great story. Not only do you look for the items in the game, but in the dialogues, you can search for references to pop cult favorites like "Autumn Leaf" and "Buffy, the Vampire Slayer". It has many mini games, great upgrades for you to choose from, and TROPHIES!!! HO object scenes have extras to look for, so game play can be easy, or made a little more involved. This is a game you'll play again once you've finished.
I recommend this game!
