This third Love Chronicles (in the Love Chronicles series for me to play) is pretty interesting as far as puzzle after puzzle. Though not particularly challenging, the puzzles and HOG's are enjoyable. The story line seemed a little lost in the shuffle of the game play. It felt more like simply lots of games with the plot as an afterthought. It still made for good game play, but I didn't feel tied to the disjointed story line. Very much a fantasy game, so try the demo before you buy. In spite of its weaknesses, I would still buy it because I like the game play.
Another murder mystery in New York for Laura James to solve! She returns in this New York series to entertain in a delicious "who done it" that retains the style and color of the previous games in the series but steps up the intrigue and game play. This game is attractive on many levels. Don't miss this one!
I recommend this game!

It could be a good way to spend a rainy afternoon when you have nothing else to do. There are no options to set before the game begins. The beginning is too dramatic and lengthy for a story opening. There is no voice over in the game. Everything has to be read. And there is so very much to read. More reading than doing. Not an intuitive game, but once you get the hang of what is wanted, you can survive. But is it engaging enough to continue playing? I thought not. Even though just released in Canada 5 months ago, it seems like a very old game. Not my cup of tea. Someone with a lot of spare time on their hands, looking for a quiet, slower game - this could be it. Try the download before you buy.
I don't recommend this game.

What an attractive, engaging story! Items are clear and beautifully colored. Puzzles are not too hard nor too easy. I loved the choice of hidden object or card game throughout the entire game. One very challenging puzzle near the end tested my memory. I don't play these games over again, but this one may break the rule. Big Fish doesn't disappoint.
I recommend this game!

Greed: Forbidden Experiments
When Julia reaches an abandoned laboratory to rescue her sister, she discovers there is more to this mystery than a mere abduction.
What a treat! Julia is trying to save her sister from something sinister. But it becomes complicated. This game has clear, crisp graphics, engaging sound, and an interesting plot line. I haven't finished it yet, but I just had to write a review to let the pond know how very happy this game has made me. This is a refreshing change from what I have played lately. Do try it!
I recommend this game!

Good art work can't save confused game play. No logical sequence to the flow of the game. I think I may have worn out my hint button. Arrgh!
