I really liked Haunted Past. It was a good game with a good storyline. I loved the custom difficulty setting. That is a great idea. It was a little too short, but overall, entertaining.
I recommend this game!

4 Elements was okay. It was a good time killer. There is little challenge to it. Was kinda boring. Good games for kids who are just starting.

Trial of the Gods 2 is an alright game. There are multiple M3 boards, which makes it feel a bit repetitive even with the HO thrown in. Some of the boards are ridiculously easy while others are very difficult. Not impossible, just hard. Visually it was pretty minimal. All in all, good match-3 if that's your kind of game.
I recommend this game!

I love the Midnight Mysteries games. They are always lots of fun and usually end with me trying to find out all I can about the real event that the game is based on. This one is no exception. I do have to say though, that the story was very confusing. A lot of branches not seeming to come from the same tree. Maybe it was just me though. It was a great HOG and I love that the SG was included for the same price as a SE.
I recommend this game!

If you like classic match 3 games, then you'll like this game. Some of the boards are a little challenging, but not so hard as to make you frustrated. Very basic story line, so if you like that in your games, you'll be sorely disappointed. Overall, it's a fun, basic game of match 3.
I recommend this game!

First I have to say that I LOVE LOVE LOVE Mystery Case Files games. They are probably my all time favorite. I have truly enjoyed the Ravenhearst storyline and dying for the next part. That being said, I was SO SO SO disappointed in this game! First of all, if you played the previous game, you'll know that it's Charles' son, Victor who is getting away, and I thought that this game would continue on that path. Although not completely disappointed that we followed Charles' childhood path. Secondly, this is NOT the game to buy CE. BUY the standard. You are not missing ANYTHING. Trust me. I love CE, and this was a huge disappointment. There is no extra fun game play to continue the story, only finding morphing objects in the journal which merely leads to an extra HO scene. Not worth the money. Thirdly, the silly psychological warning that is on the game page? Ignore it. This game is no more psychologically terrifying than any action movie. I do have to say that there are parts of it that are gross, but not terrifying. Lastly, the reason why the game takes up so much space is because they wasted it all on real videos of "Charles" talking to you at MANY MANY points during the game. I say that if you really want to know what happens next, buy the Standard Version, otherwise, don't waste your money or computer space.
I don't recommend this game.

The first of the series, Jewel Quest is an excellent match 3 game to play on those rainy afternoons or just when you want to kill time. The game is basic match 3, there are no HO scenes or story scenes. The story progresses by journal entries that you can read if you want. They don't have any impact on the game. This is a very low tech game. If you are used to high speed, lots of flashing lights during a game, this is not the game for you. Great game for beginners.
I recommend this game!

This is an excellent HOG. Wonderful graphics and a really good storyline. The extra play is a little taste of the sequel, which I am dying to play. A great game if you like HOG.

I downloaded this game for an hour and I was hooked. I can't stop playing. It's a fun and addicting game. It's not as smooth as say the Sally games, but still has good graphics. You have an assistant who delivers the animals to the owners at the end, but it's a little odd if you aren't use to it. About once during a set of 10 levels, you have to play without him/her. Personally, I did better without him. I don't like that you have to start from scratch at the beginning of each new level, I wish instead that you keep everything and add new stations. Overall it's a fun game that will keep you hooked.
I recommend this game!
