Hello OrNeon and Merry Christmas! Here comes another "The Agency of Anomalies" yay! I love this series, so nice and spooky. Now we can see what that quack is up to this time. :) I didn't even bother demoing it just bought it straight out. Definitely a 10 star like the rest.
Story: We meet this lady named Renee on the cable car whose hubby went ill and they were told that the only ones that could help was this quack job of a doctor. Well the wife said she got a her hubby's pocket watch back with a letter stating that he wants a divorce, but to her it just doesn't sound like poor Alfred. Well well, then as the story goes on, the grieving wife act turns out to be a hoax and Renee a traitor.
Graphics: Absolutely gorgeous. They are very clear in the H0G scenes so no one should have a problem.
Music: Very befitting for the game and adds to the creepy factor. It's not obtrusive in the least.
Mini Games: I didn't see a problem at all. Not too hard or easy and they make you think. The instructions to the mini games are very well done.
H0G Scenes: First one was a put stuff back where they belong. I love those kind. But I remember from the past that OrNeon always had a nice array of H0GS.
Map: Fast travel. Makes the game so much easier. Saves the detective leg work. :)
Again, superb job OrNeon! I totally look forward to the rest of the game and know the story will be awesome as well as the game play.
I recommend this game!
Everyone deserves a second chance – even the stingiest of them all.

Merry Christmas to all of you too at Elephant! Wow! Do you guys sleep? First MCF (which was down right awesome by the way), and now this title, which I was so happy to see. I voted the last one for game of the year. Now we get to see about Scrooge and the 3 ghosts. I still have Fred and his companions wallpaper from last year :) The star rating system only goes to 5, but this is definitely a 10 star game.
Story: Well it goes without saying that we have to help our uncle (even though he is a stingy old goat). Along with Jacob, the 3 ghosts are going to be giving us a helping hand to make Scrooge change the error of his ways. (To me this old geezer could of learned how to be generous from my hubby's bosses).
Graphics: Simply gorgeous. Bright, colorful and cheery. Just stop the game to take in the view. :)
Music: Just simply beautiful as they start of the rendition of Greensleeves.
Mini Games: Not too hard or easy. Right up my alley.
Hint System: Works in and out of H0GS. So no need to worry about getting stuck.
Map: Fast travel. Saves on the leg work. :)
My advice to Elephant. Please just plop some cots in the studio, and if you like I could send some light roast coffee to you guys. :)
I recommend this game!
You thought this would be just like any other investigation. But now you find yourself lost in a mysterious mansion brimming with strange creatures, comatose colleagues, and mysterious tentacles around every corner…

Well the bunny team is back with another wonderful game from the series Haunted Halls. Look like we are going to have a little hamster companion with us on our journey. Looks like it will be and interesting adventure and one I am truly looking forward to. Side note: Those doughnuts looked awesome. I would of loved to reach in the box and take one lol.
Story: Starts out about some lady complaining about paranormal activity and so she called for us to see what the problem is and to take care of the situation. Our detective thought it would be get rid of the ghosts and call it a night when our detective ran into comatose colleagues, strange creatures and those tentacles again. Dr. Blackmore in the house? Out to reach havoc once again. Well I am going to go see what happens with today's episode of "Haunted Halls: Nightmare Dwellers.
Graphics: The team did a wonderful job in giving it that creepy look. Adds to the factor do I really want to go into the next room seeing how this one looks.
Music: Very nicely done to where at some points you can feel the hairs on the back of your neck start to crawl.
Mini games: Done just right again. No problem here.
H0GS: From what I seen one was the type where you use one object on another object until you get the item you need for your inventory.
Map: Jump map. Save the detective from some walking.
All in all another great game from the bunny team. Kudos for a job well done!
I recommend this game!

"There was a crooked man, and he walked a crooked mile,
He found a crooked sixpence against a crooked stile;
He bought a crooked cat which caught a crooked mouse,
And they all lived together in a little crooked house."
He found a crooked sixpence against a crooked stile;
He bought a crooked cat which caught a crooked mouse,
And they all lived together in a little crooked house."
Well leave it up to the good peeps at Blue Tea to take this little" nursery rhyme and put an awesome twist on it in this exceptional game. I am a huge catlover, and that bad cat is right up my 'alley'. The VO's are done exceptionally well. No need for subtitles.
Story: According to Marianne the dude with the cat lost his fiance and so now he kidnaps young fair maidens in hopes to get one close to his fiance. Unfortunately your poor sister got tangled up in the mess. Now it's up to you to not only save your sis, but all the ladies he captured as well. She will be one busy Missy.
Graphics: Absolutely gorgeous. I love to stop and look before continuing on.
Music: Beautiful done and fits great with the game.
Mini games: Fun! Not to hard or easy for me, just right.
Hint System: Works outside of the H0GS as well as the H0GS.
Map: Jump map to make your travels a little easier.
I definitely rate this a 10 no question. Awesome game and kudos to the team!
I recommend this game!

Blam did an exceptional job here. I love the cuteness and that little dragon is adorable. The VO's are very nicely done and really don't need the subtitles. I am going to love this one. I bought it without even demoing it. Kudo to the team.
Story: Well we start off with Farmer Joe driving his tractor down the road and the fog hits and causes him to wreck. Then he's enveloped by two evil fogs and turns into a tree. Sure it wasn't on his work agenda. Now it's up to you to figure how to dispel the fog and save two worlds. And off you go!
Graphics: Absolutely gorgeous. I love to stop and look at them.
Music: I love it as it's really nice background music to listen to.
Mini Games: Not too hard or easy, just right.
Hint System: Works both ways in and out of H0G scenes.
Map: Jump map. The best kind.
All in all Blam did a superior job. Kudos to the team. (*) (*) (*) (*) (*) plus!
I recommend this game!

Here comes the awesome bunny team with another wonderful game. This game to me is a 10+. It's such a well executed game. I love all the cute little helpers. That locust was a trip, Weepie is plain funny, and the Nightingale is beautiful. I don't think this is childish at all. Haven't you ever heard of being a kid at heart? Would you not take your grandkids to Disney World because it's not adult themed enough? If you don't want to play the H0G, they have a mini game instead where you rotate tiles to get 3 in a row. Different twist on Match 3. I know like other bunny games, I will truly enjoy this one. I love the VO's, especially the Beasts!
Story: Kind of like a rendition of Beauty and the Beast but this time the Beast is upset because his Nightingale is gone. Dad looks like he is in a world of trouble and his daughter our main character is off to get her father's head off of the chopping block.
Graphics: Absolutely beautiful. But the bunny team always had gorgeous graphics where you like to stop the game play and just look.
Music: Beautiful music. Fits the game to a tee. But they always did have a wonderful music team.
Mini Games: Not too hard or easy, just right and fun. Really original.
Hint System: Works out of the H0GS just as wonderful as it does in them.
Map: Jump map. Saves the leg work.
All in all I will I am truly looking forward to this one and having a grandiose time :) Kudos to the team for another job extremely well done!

I want to say that Mad Head Games outdid themselves on this one. They put their heart and souls and then some on this one. This game to me was beyond 10 stars. To me this was the best CE of the year. They have singing in the game which was done absolutely brilliantly. Yes a tear jerker moment. Then the evil guy you see on the right sang one and you could feel his heart. I for one would love more singing in their games.
Story: You play as a lawyer and you find a little person who you have to get to a safe haven. But things take a twist and you're off on your journey.
Graphics: Beautifully done! No they're not live actors, but the graphics were done so well they looked it. I just would stop the game and look.
Music: Beautiful. To the point I would just stop the game here too and listen.
Mini games: Made specifically for the game.
Map: Jump map to save the feet :)
Hint system: Works in and out of H0GS
I truly wish this team the best of luck in the future. Nenad Tomic and his team are a wonderful bunch of people. Kudos to them.
I recommend this game!

This game I am truly enjoying. I rate it 5 stars. The humor is awesome. I love the way they had written the story as well as the main character's dialogue. Going into different dreams is cool. I am truly enjoying the characters of the game and the whole concept of the game. Kudos to the team!
Story: You have to go into the people's nightmares and set things straight as well as apprehend the Lord of Nightmares. (Different concept and makes me want to see what happens).
Music: Done really well and fits the game just right. Kudos to the team.
Mini Games: So far from the ones I did, not hard or easy, just right.
Hint System: Can be used in or out of H0GS.
Map: Jump map.
Graphics: Really beautiful. Yes, on the cartoon side, but extremely well done. Kudos guys!
Well, going back to the game as I want to see what happens next!
I recommend this game!

The Elephant team is at it once again with a A+ game. This is definitely a 5 plus star game. I enjoy jumping out of my seat on these spooky ones. Kudos once again to the team! Don't need to say where the hint button and map are. That's standard in 95% of hidden object games.
Story: The poor maid just wants to get to work, get her job done and go home, but obviously this isn't the case. When she gets to work she see nothing but dead people. Surprised she didn't have an hellacious heart attack from that and become one herself.
Graphics: Top notch as usual. The kind you just want to stop the game play and look. Kudos to the team.
Music: Perfectly done. Really adds to the spookiness factor of the game. Couldn't of been better. Kudos to them too.
Mini Games: Not too hard or easy. Right up my alley :)
Hint System: Works in and out of hidden object scenes.
Map: Jump map. Makes it easy on us and the main character.
Again this team did a superior job and I know I will truly enjoy this one. This team IMHO never put out a bad game. They truly put their heart and souls in every one they make.
I recommend this game!

Mumbo put out another awesome game. I love this series and how Mumbo gives a little of the history with these games. The VO's really add characteristics to the game. BUT imho you don't need VO's to make an awesome game. I enjoyed the others just as much. It's the game that makes or breaks whether it's good or not. The spookiness factor is right up there with the others. The opening scene was a "WOW" factor as well. Very well done. Kudos to the team for this game.
Story: This one here we meet up with Abe Lincoln and he asks us to find the KGC before the bad dudes do. (Note: I don't emphasis too much on the story since you can read about it on the buy/try page) :)
Graphics: Beautiful. Kudos to the team. To me they were done just as beautiful as the others but a little more in depth.
H0G Scenes: Very clear. I didn't have any problems. There shouldn't be a problem for no one here :)
Mini Games: In the beta version I didn't skip one. Although the skeleton gate puzzle gave me a run for my money, but did do it. The puzzles were done just right. Not too hard or easy.
Music: Beautifully done. Really added to the game and the spookiness factor. Kudos to the team.
Hint System: Worked well outside the H0GS. None of this "There's nothing to do here, look somewhere else".
Map: Jump map. Best kind. Saves you from running back and forth like a chicken with her head cut off. I'm sure the detective appreciates it too. :)
Enjoy the game. I know I will. :)
I recommend this game!
