I bought this game some time ago but have only just finished it as like most match 3 games it gets a little repetitive after a while. I liked the detailed graphics as you restore various buildings using points gained by clearing letters from the match 3 screens based on spiders' webs. It is a relaxing game as there is no timer and if you get stuck you can restart the screen. I also liked the fact that If there are no moves available the screen automatically resets. Another plus point for me is that it runs on my Samsung N10 netbook. I was not overly keen on the music but it can be turned off.
I liked the gentle storyline and wanted to see how it ended. The emphasis is on finding various items to open doors and complete puzzles etc. interspersed with hidden object screens. Sometimes I had difficulty finding all the smaller objects. However, the hint button only takes about 1 minute to recharge and there is no penalty for over clicking. Occasionally I needed to refer to the helpful walkthrough to make progress. As others have said, there is a fair amount of going backwards and forwards. The background music and sounds seemed appropriate. It is a game that I might well play again.
I recommend this game!

Fairway™
Spend some time on the Fairway and take on challenging courses! Try to stay under par in this amazing Card game!
I have played the demo and finished 6 of the courses with 15 minutes left. The background graphics looked blocky to me, there is a good choice of card backs but the card faces are very plain. The commentators' accents sound wrong and there are no crowd effects but the background noises are appropriate to the particular course. I found it a bit irritating that this is not a very accurate representation of the game of golf - the courses so far are 3 or 6 holes long instead of 9 or 18, you can get -5 and -4 on holes on th 3rd or 4th course, there is a card that gives you a club that can be used as anything - I could use that in real life! The fever game is good and I like the things to buy in the shop and the trophies to win. I wanted to like this game as I enjoyed the original but was disappointed.
This game has lots of similarities to the original Fairway Solitaire - removing cards to gain points, original face cards, blocking cards, awards etc - but there are twists like the "magic" cards that turn up and then give you double points each time you remove them afterwards. There are 20 levels each with about 20+ rounds but as you can buy unlimited joker cards if you have the points it is not overly challenging. I didn't like that you can get 2 or even 3 of the same card (eg 5 of diamonds) in a round. I found the game addictive and got through to the end fairly quickly. You then have to restart as there is no option for different players. However, there is a free play option.

Venice Mystery
A secret society, a magic puzzle, and 13 lost paintings. You need to solve the mystery before Venice sinks...
This tile matching mahjong type game has beautiful graphics but I was not so keen on the music. You gain points by clearing tiles and finding the keys on each level. You also get bonus tiles to help do this. There is a timer but you can earn extra lives. Every 6 to 8 levels there are mini games involving getting scrolls and replacing parts of a picture. The levels and mini games get more and more challenging! It is long game with replay value. I found it very addictive but it took a long time to complete.

Fairway Solitaire
Pull out your clubs (and your diamonds, hearts and spades) and enjoy a round of Fairway Solitaire!
I love this card game and enjoy replaying it, especially as it works fine on my Samsung N10 netbook, The tutorial is helpful if you have never played Golf patience (solitaire). The cartoon graphics are fun and there is a humerous commentary by a well known US tv golf pundit, although you may want to turn him off if you play for a long time as it gets a bit repetitive. You win money by removing cards from a large variety of layouts with bonuses for getting long runs of cards or clearing all the cards. You can also play two minigames to earn more money. There are 9 or 18 layouts for each course which get increasingly difficult but you can use your winnings to buy clothing for your avatar that helps you. You earn various trophies as you progress through the game which takes a long time to complete.
