Fear For Sale: Mystery of McInroy Manor is a hidden object adventure game. The premise of the story has you playing a journalist sent to uncover the "story" behind the strange, haunted McInroy Manor.
I liked the graphics, and the music in this game. The puzzles I found to be quite easy. The hidden object scenes were more difficult, with some items being quite difficult to find. There is a lot of back-and-forth in the game. The characters in the game I thought were interesting.
There is only one difficulty level for the game. I finished it in less than three hours. I find that to be too short, especially since I skipped none of the puzzles, and I would have increased my star rating for the game had it taken me longer to complete. The game supposedly has "achievements," but I was unable to find the location where I could view my accomplishments. I didn't like that, either. But for these two shortcomings, the game was decent. I do recommend it for those who don't mind a shorter game.
I recommend this game!

Haunted Halls: Fears from Childhood is the second Haunted Halls hidden object adventure game. The premise this time is similar to the first: you need to save your boyfriend, Tim, from the clutches of an evil, deranged doctor. This game is set in a space locale, and you need to save five children from the evil doctor.
This game has better graphics than the original, and the music is also good, but similar. There is decent voice acting in the game. There is less running around than in the first game. The puzzles were interesting, but on the easy side. This time, most of the hidden object scenes are interactive, with one or two items on the list that need to be manipulated to find the item.
This game was considerably shorter for me than the original, taking about an hour less time to finish. There are two difficulty levels, and I played on the hard difficulty and finished in about three hours. The puzzles were interesting, but on the easy side. Like the original, there is a plot element left unfilled, in the form of a character you never find. Perhaps the Collector's Edition completes the game. The ending was very abrupt and a bit of a let-down.
Overall, the game was fun, but compared to duration of gameplay in the first one, I am a little disappointed. Still, I did enjoy it, for the most part. If I could give it 3.5 stars, I would. I'm rounding up to four because of the graphics improvement.
I recommend this game!

Haunted Halls: Green Hills Sanitarium is a creepy, hidden object adventure game. The story revolves around helping your journalist boyfriend Tim, who went to a strange asylum looking for a story, and who has not returned. Along the way, you will meet many patients in the asylum who are in need of help.
The graphics and music are very nice in this game. There is only one mode of gameplay, and there are sparkles that indicate where everything of interest is located. There is no interactive map for this game, which means a lot of running back and forth.
The puzzles were rather easy, like most games from this developer. But, sometimes, I had trouble figuring out what to do with a particular item, so that upped the overall difficulty a notch.
I completed the game in around four hours. I enjoyed the end story, but thought the last patients to help were very easy to help compared to the first patients. (I would have liked a little more consistency.) But, overall, a nice, eerie game.
I recommend this game!

Diner Dash 2 Restaurant Rescue is the second in the Diner Dash series of time management games. This time, Flo is helping her friends save their restaurants from the greedy Mr. Big, who wants their restaurant spaces for his own purposes.
There are five restaurants, each with ten levels. After each level, you can upgrade the restaurant to make it more appealing to new customers. The gameplay is essentially the same as the other Diner Dash games. You take orders, feed the customers, and try to keep them happy. Color-chaining is very important, as with all of the Diner Dash games, if you want to get expert score on every level.
I enjoyed this game as much as the other Diner Dash games.
I recommend this game!

Diner Dash is a time management game, where you play Flo, a restaurant entrepreneur. The object of the game is to take orders, feed the customers, and keep them as happy as possible.
There are five restaurants in the game, each with a different theme. Each restaurant has ten levels. The game is fun, and has replay value. To reach expert score for each level, it's important to chain customers according to color, and make use of the podium and other extras when they are available.
A highly enjoyable and addictive game.
I recommend this game!

Diner Dash Flo on the Go is the third installment in the Diner Dash series of time management games. This time, Flo finds herself working instead of vacationing, to buy new clothes.
The gameplay is pretty much the same as the earlier Diner Dash games. Take orders, feed the customers, keep them as happy as possible. In this game, Flo has a closet, and as you progress in the game, new outfits are added to her wardrobe and you can change her clothing. If you get expert on every level at a given location, a secret bonus level is offered up.
I enjoyed this game. The locations were cute, and the cartoon graphics are fun. Another good Diner Dash game!

Dreamland is a hidden-object adventure game. The story line has you trying to save your brother, who ran into supernatural trouble at the local abandoned amusement park.
The graphics and ambience of the game is great. I like creepy carnival settings, so that was a plus for me. The voice acting is well-done. The hidden object scenes could sometimes be quite difficult, with some very well-hidden items. The puzzles were on the easy side. Most of them I finished well before the skip button became available. The game has only one difficulty setting, and has sparkles to clue you in on the items of interest in each scene.
There's a lot of running back and forth in this game, but it has a very nice map that you can click to instantly move to a particular location. I completed the game in 3 hours 15 minutes, and skipped no puzzles.
Overall, I consider this a worthwhile game. Bonus if you like creepy carnivals.
I recommend this game!

Soap Opera Dash is a nice time management game. The story has you playing Rosie, the creator of a new soap opera in DinerTown. The game is similar to the other Dash games. Many of the DinerTown characters work on the soap opera.
There are fifty levels in the game, and ten bonus mini-levels. You can make upgrades to each studio to make the day a little easier for Rosie. There's a store for special bonus upgrades. You can pick which DinerTown characters to cast in each role for the soap opera, and you get to pick the plot for the season finales. The cartoon-style graphics are cute.
I really enjoy Dash games and this one was no exception.
I recommend this game!

Azada: Ancient Magic is a fun puzzle adventure game. If you are looking for a game heavy on hidden object scenes, this game is not for you. The only hidden objects to be found are incidental to the plot, and not in specific scenes.
The story line revolves around you helping Titus find the source of the evil magic in the books in his library. The books are snippets of classic fairy tales and novels. Each book has around four pages that require you to go back and forth between the pages until they are complete.
I enjoyed the puzzles. Some of them were very easy. Some of the books only took me 2 1/2 minutes to complete the entire story. I liked the graphics and music very much. I didn't enjoy pressing 'OK' every time I was in a book to exit the dialog bubble. The game took me around three hours to complete, and I played in timed mode. A good game for people who prefer puzzles to hidden objects in their adventure games.
I recommend this game!

F.A.C.E.S. is a hidden object adventure game. You play an artist with a paranormal gift, that has caused you to end up locked up in an asylum by a doctor who is planning to kill you. Unless you can escape, that is.
The graphics in this game are very nice. They are rather realistic. The music is very nice and appropriate. There are two levels of difficulty. I played on the harder level and the game took me 3 1/2 hours to complete.
The game could have been creepier, in my opinion. But they did a nice job. The puzzles were not too difficult. The hidden object scenes were on the junk pile side, but the items were not too difficult to find. Overall, I liked this game!
I recommend this game!
