I was hoping this game would play a little more like Plants v. Zombies (will there EVER be a sequel!?), but it was still a fun game. I love tower defense games, so I liked this one.
Pros: Fun graphics with marsh'ns trying to capture your cows. Love the ability to zap hay bales in the way and the cow bell to make Bossy high-tail it back to the corral. Can be hectic in veteran mode, but still pretty doable. A bit too easy in beginner. Would be nice to have a medium mode. Able to choose which defenses to use based on enemies that will show up on the next level.
Cons: No leveling up your defenses! Big downer for me, you just have to rely on the different abilities each tower provides.
Overall, a great game!
I recommend this game!

Diner Dash series does have a lot more to offer. This is a typical restaurant TM game. Run around serving customers, matching colors, chaining actions to get more money. But for what?! There are no upgrades to buy! Occasionally an improvement is given automatically, but I really prefer the challenge of which ones to choose when.
Then again, there is little challenge to this game. I was able to get gold on every level without much work, just chain and color match.
Graphics were ok, not the best I've seen, especially for "HD"
Music was redundant and annoying, as were the sound effects, but easier to play with them on to hear the drive-up window.

This may be a good game for a beginner or child, but just plain boring for most of us.
I don't recommend this game.

Based on demo.
Nice twist on the Monopoly game, it still gives you events and cards to use (think get of jail free or tax-free day). You can also trade goods to increase your bankroll. You have options of building on your property with a good ol' hotel or get a smaller steady income.

Not the best graphics/storyline, but nice just the same. Great diversion from the glut of HO games at Big Fish (I love 'em, but give us a variety).
I recommend this game!

Have not played such a stinker in a long time. Big Fish, I am really disappointed that you let a game of such obviously poor quality make it onto your site. Like another reviewer said, enough of the HO games and get some more DECENT TM or strategy games in there!
Could not for the life of me figure out how to navigate the screen! I clicked, I grabbed, I tried to scroll, all to no avail. Zooming out did not zoom far enough. Resources got stuck under unmoveable tool bars/info screens. Even clicking on them several times did not pick them up.
Sad to say it's such a bomb, because it looked like it might be a little different than other strategy games. I really liked that you could "bribe" the king with resources to make him happier. But with all the glitchy things, I couldn't even finish the demo hour.
Magnussoft! Fix these bugs and you could really have a nice little game here. Are you even beta testing?!
I don't recommend this game.

This game is a bit complicated to start out; you really need to do the tutorial. Even so, it takes a bit to get the hang of it. But stick with it, it really does get to be fun.
This is a combo of Stratego/Risk and Puzzle Quest during ancient Roman times. You try to take over lands, build up villages & recruit troops and generals. When you cross paths with other civilizations, a match 3 battle begins.
Pretty humorous story line. Graphics are fine, not great. Played without music, so can't report on that.
Definite replayabilty with various difficulties, training, free play, etc.
I recommend this game!

Based on full game. This game was very simple to play, so much so that I almost dumped the demo after a few minutes. Glad I stuck it out. Characters are cute and goofy. Nice voiceovers.
Simple storyline, but cute nonetheless. Levels are fairly easy, though if you wish to attain full stars, some can be quite a challenge to finish in time. Not to fear, though, if you can't beat the clock, you can still play out the rest of the level.
It was not the best time mgmt game I've played, but was more than adequate and not as frustrating as some I've come across.
Nice game for the younger ones.
I recommend this game!

Very much a misclassification of game. This is NOT a TM, but an adventure game. And I felt like the other reviews didn't give it a shot, so I am writing one, too.
I did like this game, enough to buy it. Different from most other games, along the lines of The Three Musketeers series--Milady's Vengeance and Queen Anne's Diamonds. A lot of hand-holding at first, but then you are free to go about your business of finding your father.
Graphics aren't that great, but passable. You will need a keen eye to find all of your quest items, some are pretty small. And be careful how you use your resources so you don't end up short for part of the main quest. Happened to me with wood, so I had to restart.
A lot of running back and forth, but you get a map early on and can teleport easily. A lot of scenes to keep in mind (who on earth was selling hammers?) so this comes in very handy!
If you liked the Three Musketeers series, you will probably enjoy this one. I found it a good play for many hours.
I recommend this game!
Winter came, but that won’t stop wily beetles that are hungry for vengeance! Stop them from ruining Christmas for the garden dwellers!

I really love tower defense/strategy games, so I was glad to see this one. Thoroughly enjoyed the original, so I was glad to see a new version. Very similar to the first, but with some added bombs and such.
Colorful, cute graphics, but the music can get a bit redundant (read annoying). You will want to play with the sound on, however, as it's a great clue as to picking up coins. Missed coins several times at first til I turned it up a bit (coins disappear after a time).
Great level of challenge. You can choose from 3 difficulties and further challenge yourself to get 3 stars on each level.
Seems like there are only 30 levels, but with the difficulty levels, you can certainly get your money's worth out of it. It was definitely a must buy at the Daily Deal price!
Please BFG, make more of these types of games!
I recommend this game!

Nice graphics and easy-to-learn gameplay. Kind of a cross between a marble popper and Angry Birds. Power-ups randomly available to assist you. Not terribly challenging, unless you want to try to get high accuracy stats, but a great time-waster at this price. I recommend it.
I recommend this game!

Based on the demo. This was one tough match 3! Only got to start of week 2 before my time was up.
Power ups were very limited; very annoyed that if you earned a second power-up, it didn't count if you still had one unused! Only good thing was that one unused per animal would stay with you til the next round.
Graphics were quite good. Music was repetitive and annoying. But the barking dog certainly got my puppy's attention.
If you really enjoy a challenge, then by all means try this one out. I just don't have that kind of patience and tolerance level.
I don't recommend this game.
