Always have liked Mad Head games for the smooth game play and the extras are actually re-playable! (NeverTales)
I especially liked the collectibles - treasure hunt - ultimate HOP (gives you a sense of actually getting something for all that searching :)
I have always been a fan of 'scary' if only for the funny factor - most 'scary' is really silly - and this game has that.
I highly recommend this game if you are a fan of actually achieving something when you get an achievement :)
This game has total re-play-ability
I recommend this game!

Imagine a sunny day at a cozy Parisian cafe. People are walking around, drinking coffee and laughing. Suddenly a bright flash wipes out all life on Earth!

I thought this game was going to be really bleh from the reviews, but I downloaded the demo anyway to see for myself and was very pleasantly surprised. The game is almost identical to the play for free game Found, which I for one adored and was thoroughly addicted to until one day I had no more quests. There really is always something more to do in these types of games and there is always a variety and if you are at all like me, you'll enjoy the challenge of achieving the rewards, 'exchanging' the collection items - which basically means you combine a few little things into one big thing, and in general wasting an entire Saturday goofing with a game.
It truly is addicting
I recommend this game!

Seek the help of Lemuel Barnabas and unravel the mystery of what happened to Halloween in this ludicrous and imaginative hidden object adventure.

I really can't explain what it is about this game that is so entertaining, except that it keeps you wanting to find out what happens next in such an amusing way that it is almost like being in an interactive cartoon movie. The game play itself is a puzzle at times, not the mechanics of it, that is point and click, of course, but the 'What the heck do I do now that I have this stapler?!' part.
Just when you think you wish you had that CE Strategy Guide, you look down at your inventory and think 'Oh! What if I try using this thing here...doesn't make much sense, but hey this is a crazy, funny, off beat Halloween game, why not?'. And it works! :)
There are little, teeny, tiny pieces of candy to find in each scene which you use to by backyard Halloween decorations.
I am still on Chapter 3 and am having a blast. It really is an amazingly well thought out game that keeps the player completely hooked throughout.
I just had to comment on this game even though I have never submitted a review of any game I have played from BFG. I've been blown away by this game and hope my other favorite developers take some cues from Two Desperados.
A game that is not predictable and keeps you entertained this long without end is a true find now days when quite a few games recently have been over too quickly and leave nothing but a 'Hmmm, well that was a wasted couple of hours...even though I meant to waste at least two hours...it could have been more fun.' feeling behind.
