If you like adventure, HOS, puzzle games then you should check this out. You might end up spending the better part of half an hour on instros, but you get your moneys worth of a blend of different types of gameplay as you progress. 4.5 on fun factor, visuals 5, sound only 3.5. Storyline...do you like LOTR? Stiil a buy for me.
I recommend this game!

I tried this game thinking it would be just another TM. To my surprise (and not an unpleasant one), it is a puzzle game. As a bonus, the game gives you actual recipes that you can use IRL. Puzzles were good and you can select normal or hard difficulty. I'll buy it.
I recommend this game!
Welcome to Hotel Solitaire. On each floor you will find 5 rooms, each with its own game of solitaire. Play 15 different card games across 100 levels, either against the clock or with no time limit.

It was okay. There was no storyline, which is fine, but the music had to be muted and the graphics were amatuerish. I like Fairway Solitaire much, much, much more. But, it did have different types of solitaire play, so that made it bearable. I would still recommend trying it out. Might be worth a coupon.

The storyline is ridiculous and confusing. The mother is a witch (again *sigh*) and even though she does bad things in front of her son, he is in denial. What is that word I'm looking for??? Oh yeah, boring and overdone. The gameplay dragged and it was repetitive , as in, why do I have to keep shoveling snow? The VOs did not match the lip movement. There was nothing unique nor challenging about the HOS or mini-games. The graphics were quite good and saved this game from a one star review. I do like the snow theme, especially during summer when the thermometer is hitting over 100, and I can pretend it is cooler in my game world . With a few small fixes one might overlook the not so good elements of this game. Still, if you are a beginner or only in it for the visuals, I would still recommend this game.

This was one of those games that I am not sure why I enjoyed it so much, but I couldn't stop playing it. I did have to give it a four star because the mini-games were ridiculously easy, and the storyline was a bit stupid. That being said, the graphics were outstanding, as usual for Eipix, but somehow even more immersive. The gameplay ran smoothly and made sense. This game is so much fun I'm considering buying the CE version, and making it my weekend getaway...next stop, St. Margaret.

Based on the demo, I really liked this game. Nice mix of mini-games and HOS, which are interactive and multi-step. Graphics and VOs are well done, which EIPIX is known for. If you are a fan of HE, you will like this one as well. If you are new to the series, give it a try. As for me, I can't wait to get back to the game to see what happens next.
I recommend this game!

Anyone who has been asking for something new, here it is...come and get it. I started to play this game and my 14 year old got interested and played it with me. There can be no higher compliment to a game than for a teenager to take interest. It is an adventure game so you have to figure out what to do and when. You also have to talk to all characters and get clues and hints, but everyone has something funny to say. The voice-overs are exceptional, and the storyline is unique. A superbly fun game!
I recommend this game!

You know devs have gotten lazy when they can't even change the resources you pick up. Still the same logs and cheese rounds and crystals. They did add fire hydrants, because we all know they were around during the hellenistic period. Music was horrible. Story was ridiculous and incongruent with any Greek myth. The only reason I am giving it a two is because the graphics were decent.
I don't recommend this game.

I started to play this demo not expecting too much. I am not a sci-fi fan, so I was pleasantly surprised by how much I loved it. I highly recommend this game, although I am buying the CE version. Everything is great about this game. A nice mix of HOS and adventure. Voice-overs are well done, nothing annoying. Mini games are fun and different. If you are looking for something unique, check this game out.
I recommend this game!

This game may deserve more than 5 stars. There were at least 3 times that I jumped in fright, and that is not easily acclomplished, I don't scare often. I have to admit I was playing it late at night, in the dark, with the headphones, but WOW!!! I purchased this game three years ago, and somehow never played it until now. I was surprised by how well the graphics were done (considering how old the game is). I loved the gameplay, everything made sense. The HOS were straightforward, nothing fancy, but enjoyable. AMAZING GAME! Just goes to show you, BF has been bringing great games and entertainment to our lives for the past several years. Thanks BF.
I recommend this game!
