I really enjoyed this MCF game! It's absolutely the best of the "modern" MCF games.
Fantastic graphics/art.
Really interesting and fun puzzles.
Good hidden object scenes with variety in style.
Neat story that had me wanting to see what happens next.
Good voice acting, even!

I loved this game! I'm not the biggest fan of the fairy tale themed games, but this one is great. The storyline is a little cheesy at first (princess has to save her family because they were turned into frogs!) but it was pretty interesting towards the end.
Pros:
- Choice of difficulty includes custom.
- Fun, bright colors. Beautiful artwork.
- Fun, light storyline. Something different if you don't want a scary or spooky game.
- Loads of puzzles! There are so many, and there's a great variety in them.
- Also there's a great variety in the hidden object scenes. There's the silhouette type, the type were you find X amount of one kind of item to unlock a list, a few somewhat interactive H0 scenes, etc. It never got boring!
- The game area seemed huge. There were so many places to explore and none of them felt repetitive. There's a jump map if you need it.
- Morphing collectibles and achievements that are a little different from the usual you see

- Some of the voices could be a little grating
- Many of the achievements you get just for playing through the story, which isn't very exciting

All in all, though, it's a lovely game. Very fun!

This is the best mahjong game I've played in a long time! There are several modes to play that you unlock as you complete milestones in each of the different elemental temples. Also the game is untimed, and it seems as long as you match the final golden tiles, even if you have tiles left on the board, the game counts this as complete. You don't get three stars, but you get to continue on.
At first you start off in classic mahjong. However, the other temples hold far more interesting variants.
My favorite is the "slide" method. It's hard to explain, but you must slide matching tiles next to each other in order to remove them. You have to move other tiles around in order to get to the ones you're trying to match, and it can become quite the puzzle.
With so much variety in gameplay, this one is definitely worth the price.
I recommend this game!

This is yet another installment in the Delicious Series, and honestly, it's my favorite so far. You get to see lots of familiar faces, and yet the story takes you to all sorts of places! There are some new characters you meet along that way that I found to be really charming.
It's your traditional restaurant/food service Time Management game, where you play as the character making and serving the food to meet customer requests.
It has:
- Three difficulty modes
- Loads of levels
- Bonus challenges
- The Delicious series mice that you can find in each level for extra points
- Achievements
- Lots of upgrades for both the food you can serve and your restaurants
- Restaurants with varying themes, which brings a nice change of pace every so often in the game
- A very interesting story that kept me playing because I wanted to see what happens

I have played on "normal" difficulty, and so far I haven't found it to be too hard. Some levels are totally chaotic, but that's part of the fun! You need to use upgrades in certain ways to win certain levels, so there's some challenge in determining what you should use when.
This is the best story so far in the Delicious series, and also the best gameplay, to me.
I recommend this game!

We're back to Ravenhearst Manor! It seems that some new people have bought the Ravenhearst grounds and have decide to build a museum there. But why?
Pros:
- Superb graphics and artwork
- Really awesome music and sound. They even brought back the clickity-clack sound of the typewriter when you collect hidden objects!
- Puzzles are great.
- Super puzzles! The super puzzles are well done. They're difficult, but have clues built in to the puzzle "board" so that you're not sitting there stumped for a long time. They make sense.
- The story! It ties so much of the previous games together, and if you're a big MCF fan, you'll probably be really pleased to see all of this come together.
- The developers have made this feel like an MCF game. It doesn't feel like they just slapped together some MCF related stuff and called it an MCF game. It has that true MCF feel, to me. There are even a couple of funny/snarky comments here and there, just like the old games.

Cons:
- The achievements could be a little harder. As is, they're basically the standards you see in every game.

All in all, this game is great. It's packed with things that will make you feel wonderfully nostalgic for the old games while also figuring out a new mystery!

This game is amazing. It has all of the things you would want in a scary game. It has some quite shocking scenes. Nothing too bad, but it does have a warning for a reason!
You start out in the game not knowing where you are or why you are there. All you know is you're trapped somewhere and there is a creepy child's voice taunting you as you try to escape wherever it is you are. Eventually you find out that you must prove your worth in order to be released...
Pros:
Excellent atmosphere (even the extras menu has a creep factor!)
Wonderful graphics
Super creepy characters
Very interesting puzzles
Excellent voiceovers and music
Collectibles, morphing objects in hidden object scenes, and achievements

This game is another wonderful addition to the Delicious series.
In this one, you play as Emily trying to fix up an old, larger home for her family. The Delicious games have a more in-depth story than most Time Management games, and this one is no different!
The gameplay is mostly the same, with a few minor adjustments. Customers give you their order, you pick up or make items, deliver them, and take their money. Sometimes you have to also wash tables or entertain guests. There are three modes of gameplay, amounting to casual, advanced, and hard.
New additions to the game:
-- Unlockable foods: You must complete certain tasks to unlock new foods to have in your restaurant. Tasks mostly are things like serve ten snack foods, etc. to open up a new snack food.
-- Challenge: Levels have diamond challenges, such as walking 100 yards or putting up decorations. Complete these and you get a diamond. That diamond is used for...
-- The house! You can see the new house, and choose which items in the house to upgrade with your earned diamonds.
-- (Spoiler alert, but important point all the same!)
Paige's room also acts as the trophy room. Click on items in her room to see what you need to do to get the trophies.

I recommend this game!

I am a big fan of the Dana Knightstone games. They usually have interesting storylines and are generally fun, even if they are more simplistic than some other games.
Pros:
- The setting to this game is lovely. The icy blue scenes go away pretty quickly, but I thought they were nice.
- The story is OK, but not great. It's sort of a mistaken identity-then-things-go-poorly deal.

Cons:
- No "CE Bling" (collectables, morphing objects), other than a guide, the usual extra stuff that most people don't use, and some achievements.
- The achievements are *SO* easy to get that you don't really have to do anything special. Boring.
- Some of the achievements are for finishing chapters in 30 minutes, and finishing the whole game in 4 hours! What?! Shouldn't I be taking my time and enjoying the game?
- But that doesn't matter, because the chapters are short no matter how much you dilly dally around. I got through chapter one in TEN minutes, with no hints or skips used. It is just that short.
- The puzzles and hidden object games alike are incredibly easy. Some puzzles can be finished in just a few clicks.
- There is a ghost dog helper pet, and he's really odd looking. Not a fan.

I don't recommend this game.

I love this game. Although it's a "free to play" game, I have yet to find an instance where I *need* to pay, or where the game blocks me from continuing unless I buy power-ups or something like that.
The premise of the game is that you are a detective solving the town's crimes while the cops are busy. The crimes are mostly humorous in nature, and often involve finding people's cats.
To find clues and solve crimes, you play a drag-and-select style match-3 game where you try to make lines of items. If you remove five pieces (or more) at once, you get the type of clue for that piece.
There is also a game much like the board game "Guess Who?" where you find out who is the suspect/the person of interest by asking yes or no questions about their appearance.
The third game is a deduction game using a map.
When you level up, you use the stars you earn to purchase better tools or powers.
You can use the money you earn from cases to buy power-ups, as well as decorate your office and your character.
All in all, this is a really fun puzzle game with some cute and quirky humor to it.
I recommend this game!

- Three modes of gameplay to choose from.
- Achievements
- Extra flowers to collect around the world.
- Many of the puzzles are interesting or new takes on old puzzles.
- Some inventory items require extra steps to use, which is fun.
- Many hidden object scenes require you to use inventory items.

Cons:
- Using the flowers you collect could be more interesting like in previous Surface games.
- The achievements are very same old, same old.
- Some of the hidden object scenes are a little boring, especially ones with little or no interactivity.
