Oh, Yes, Thank you. Roads of Rome are the best TM games out, and Portals have the best graphics of the lot. Clearly set out, and I love that the hidden objects are displayed on the side to see. Makes it easier to find them. I love clicking on the animals to see their reactions! Well done, guys.
I recommend this game!

I love the Jewel Match Solitaire series, and they have come through beautifully with this one. The scenery is lovely, and the card sets are beautiful. I even don't mind the traditional Christmas Carols playing in the background - in fact I find them quite relaxing. This one will be a permanent fixture on my computer, along with the others

I loved the first Home Designer, and I have found that this one does not disappoint. I don't understand the negative reviews, and as for problems playing games, sometimes that means that something on your computer needs upgrading. I am so delighted with this game, and it will clearly become another favourite with me.
I recommend this game!

I love decor games, and have waited a while for a decent one. I just love this one. Relaxing game, with many different types of games, match 3, hidden object etc. The variety makes it so it doesn't get boring. The choices of decor are very good. I do hope they bring out more of these in different rooms
I recommend this game!

I can't understand why there are so many negative reviews of this game. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and found it to be a worthy successor of the 1,000 doors tales.
I have come to the conclusion, after seeing so many bad reviews of this and other games that I have come to like, that people are just getting too hard to please!
I would recommend it.
I recommend this game!

Have not reviewed for a while, but when I saw this one take so long for a review, had to step up. Have played for one hour. Bought on special, and consider it a great bargain. Won't divulge much of story line --- don't want to spoil things, but so far, very good. Always play on easy level, and find on this one, hints charge quickly. Music gentle and not annoying, like some. Graphics lovely. Puzzles so far good. I find (for me anyway) mixture of easy and challenging.
I find everything about this game extremely enjoyable, and would recommend it highly.
I recommend this game!

I usually don't like farming or garden games much, but 5 minutes into the trial, decided to buy this one. It is timed, which I usually don't like, but I enjoyed what I played of the trial so much, I didn't care. Story is that your grandparents are in danger of losing their farm, so you want to enter a garden competition to win the money they need. To get experience, you take jobs gardening. Goals are visible down the bottom, so you don't have to click on anything to see them. You get hints as to what type of plants the customer likes. There are also hidden artifacts in some areas to look for. What you earn goes to pay upgrades on the villa, which I always enjoy. Already have had some levels which I have had to try again to get gold, but it is so much fun, I don't mind. And I am not always worried about whether I get gold or not. A plus is that you can queue tasks. Already purchased, and not even finished trial, so it is a strong recommend to buy.
I recommend this game!

Farmscape characters return, only with a HOG instead of match 3. Similar to the Gardenscape games. Any game from this developer is a sure fire hit, and I have enjoyed them all. I know I will have fun with the rest of this one, too. An all round sure-fire winner. I thoroughly recommend this game.

I was at first reluctant to buy this game because of its seemingly cartoonish graphics. But then I was looking for a game for my poor outdated work computer, and decided to give it a try. Now I am sorry that I didn't get it sooner! The match 3 is the classic type, and thoroughly enjoyable. And I love that you have the option to set out your zoo as you like. Now I love it so much that it is going on my home computer as well!
I recommend this game!
