The Mirror Mysteries is a fragmented hidden object game. The story centers around a mother saving her kids by repairing mirrors. Each mirror has a different world to access, with tasks to complete.
The graphics are done well. The puzzles are few, and I didn't find any instructions for a few of them. (Maybe I didn't look in the right place?) Some of the hidden object items were very well hidden, and difficult to find. The voice acting was done well in this game. My biggest problem with the game is that it was too short. Taking around two hours for me to finish. I would have given it four stars if it was longer. But, it's still a decent game, and it was fun while it lasted.
I recommend this game!

Haunted Legends: The Bronze Horseman is a hidden object adventure game. The plot has you playing the detective sent in to save the mayor's son from the evil little man who has been kidnapping souls. I was really looking forward to this game because I liked the first one in the series.
The game was a lot of fun, but the puzzles were on the easy side. The length was very nice, longer than some similar games. The music was annoying. The voice acting was nice, except for the character of the little girl. She was annoying, too. The graphics are beautifully drawn. As some other reviewers have commented, the ending is really abrupt. I played in expert mode and it took me over four hours, playing leisurely.
I recommend this game!

Maestro: Music of Death is an interactive hidden object game. The story centers around saving a little girl from the plague that's infected her town. There are puzzles, collected items and hidden object scenes.
The gameplay is nice. There's a lot of running back and forth. The graphics are nice, all hand-drawn. The puzzles were on the easy side. The length seemed a little short. But still, it was a nice, creepy, game.
I recommend this game!

Phantasmat is a hidden object adventure game. The story line centers around your character, who has a car crash, and gets stuck at a weird hotel. The object of the game is to solve the mystery of the hotel, and the people in it, while trying to get out of town.
The graphics are very nice, and very creepy. The voice acting is well done. The gameplay is fun, with plenty of running around. The puzzles are fun. The game has a unique twist, where you can switch from the hidden object scenes to a match three game, and back again. So if you don't like hidden object scenes, this game still might have something for you. There are also achievements for reaching certain goals in the game, and three levels of difficulty. I played on the middle difficulty, and this game took me over five hours to finish.
I recommend this game!

Mystery Legends: The Phantom of the Opera is an interactive hidden object adventure game. It's a rough telling of the story The Phantom of the Opera. For this game, you play the daughter of the Phantom's lost love interest, and he traps you in the opera house with him. Your job is to escape this crazed ghost.
The graphics of this game are beautifully done. I found myself stopping a lot to look around at everything. I especially liked the scenes where it was snowing. The music is nice, as befits the title. The voice-overs are very well done.
The gameplay is good. The hint button takes a long time to recharge, so it avoids the temptation of wanting to use it too much. Some of the hidden object scenes were really junk piles, with hard to see items. But, not all of them were that bad. The puzzles were fun.
Overall, I give this game five stars. I loved the eerie atmosphere, graphics, music and the voice acting. This game is really worth a try if you don't own it already. I've played it through almost two times now, and see myself playing through several more times in the future.
I recommend this game!

Shaolin Mystery: Tale of the Jade Dragon Staff is a hidden object/fragmented object adventure game. The story centers around finding the pieces of the Jade Dragon Staff, and returning the rightful emperor to the throne.
This is a truly beautiful game. The artwork is exquisite. The music is also beautiful, and very soothing. The gameplay is fun, and there's not a lot of backtracking compared to some games, because each chapter takes you to a new area of the game. I liked the mix of hidden object and fragmented object scenes. I also liked that the game tells you how many tasks you need to complete in a given area. The game was a little longer than average, taking about four hours for me to complete. The puzzles were a little on the easy side for me. But a few of them were unique.
I recommend this game!

Shiver: Vanishing Hitchhiker is a hidden object adventure game. The story centers around trying to locate a mysterious hitchhiker. The graphics are beautiful, the story is creepy and engaging, and the gameplay is enjoyable.
There are two difficulty settings for the game, and I played on the advanced difficulty mode. The puzzles were interesting, and a few were unique, but none were very challenging. I really liked the graphics of this game, and the story kept me riveted. I completed the game in around three hours, without skipping any puzzles, so I'd say it's average length. Even on the advanced difficulty mode there were some sparkles hinting that there was an area that needed to be examined closely.
Overall, I really enjoyed this game.

Midnight Mysteries: Salem Witch Trials is a hidden object adventure game. You play an author/detective who has an affinity with ghosts. This time, it's Nathaniel Hawthorne who comes to ask your help for his case. It's a fun game, where you travel back in time and talk to ghosts to solve the case.
The graphics are dark, and just beautiful in this game, especially the cut scenes. The gameplay is straightforward. There is a special place in your inventory where you can combine two objects to make a new object. There are achievements in the game for completing certain objectives. An unlimited hidden object mode is opened if you collect enough clovers. (I haven't tried that mode yet.) I liked the puzzles in this game. The game took me over three hours to complete. Definitely worth taking a look at.
I recommend this game!

Mystic Diary: Haunted Island is an interactive hidden object game. The story revolves around having to free some people trapped in a magical diary. You travel back and forth collecting items, completing many hidden object scenes, and solving puzzles.
The graphics are nice, but not always clear. The hidden object scenes are frequent, and you repeat each scene a few times with a new list of items to find. The puzzles were nice - interesting, but not all that challenging. The game was rather short, taking me between two and two-and-a-half hours to finish. The end of the game was annoying because you have to travel back to each hidden object scene in the game and complete it again.
I'm giving it three stars because it started out well enough.
I don't recommend this game.

I played the demo of Mystery Trackers: Raincliff for about two minutes before I bought the game. I love this game. It is more adventure than hidden object, although there are plenty of hidden object scenes. The game has three difficulty modes, and you can earn achievements for accomplishing different actions in the game.
The graphics are beautiful, the character acting is good, the story is interesting, and has a few surprises. The puzzles are good; some are very challenging indeed. On the hard difficulty setting, there is no option to skip the puzzles. The length was longer than average, which is great, in my opinion.
This is the second in the Mystery Trackers series. I am looking forward to the release of the next mystery!
I recommend this game!
