The Missing: A Search and Rescue Mystery Game is a hidden object adventure game that takes place on a mysterious island. You play the detective given the task of locating a missing group of students and their professor. As you go along, you uncover clues and solve puzzles to help achieve this goal.
I have to say, I really liked the graphics for this game, as they are quite realistic. The storyline is engaging. The music is superb. The game provides you with a notebook to keep track of your objectives and clues, and there is a non-interactive map included to help you find your way around. Even with the map, I did find myself getting lost a time or two. The puzzles were good, not too hard and not too easy. The hidden object scenes would sometimes be a normal list, and sometimes show you outlines of the items you need to find. The game is less-than-average length. This isn't the best game I've ever played, but the nice visual quality, and great sound effects make it worth taking a look at.
I recommend this game!

Diner Dash: Seasonal Snack Pack is a very fun time management game. The game is divided up into five different themed restaurants, each with ten levels. Each restaurant can be upgraded as you gain levels. There is a closet, where you can change the server's outfit to match (or not) the different themes.
The game is challenging, especially if you want to get expert score for each level. There is also an "endless" mode, where customers just keep coming. This game is a lot of fun, and the graphics are really cute.
I recommend this game!

Dark Parables: Curse of the Briar Rose is a fragmented hidden object game. It's loosely based on the story of Sleeping Beauty. The graphics are nice and the music is great. The game could be a little more challenging.
The puzzles are very easy, in my opinion, and the hidden object scenes were decent. Some of the item pieces are very well hidden. The story is fun, and be prepared to run around a lot. The game has "cursed" morphing objects that are fun to find, and reduce the time the hint button takes to recharge. There is also a hard mode that is unlocked after you complete the game.
I really thought the game could be longer. I played both the normal mode and the hard mode one after the other, and it only took me less than three hours. The hard mode went a lot faster, I finished it in a little over an hour. The hard mode doesn't allow hints or puzzle skipping, but the puzzles weren't difficult enough to want to skip in the first place. Still, I enjoyed the game, and am glad I bought it.
I recommend this game!

Drawn: The Painted Tower takes you to a world where a little girl's drawings come to life. Iris is the little girl who is supposed to be queen if you can help her escape the tower and depose the evil, dark king.
The game is extremely beautiful, and imaginative. You enter the drawings to complete objectives to help towards your overall goal. The music and graphics are well done, as is the voice acting. If you like adventure games, this is one worth considering.

Drawn: Dark Flight is the sequel to Drawn: The Painted Tower. The storyline picks up where the last one left off, where you are helping Iris to light the beacons to her kingdom to defeat the evil usurper king. This is a quality adventure game.
The graphics are beautifully done, and the puzzles are challenging. The music is beautiful. The sensory quality of this game is just great. My only complaint is I would have liked to have had a map, because I got lost a few times. But, if you like adventure games, this one is definitely worth a look.
I recommend this game!

Avernum 4 is a role-playing adventure game. The setting is Avernum, a world of caves beneath the surface world, where you've been exiled to because of something you did on the surface. The world of Avernum is large. Even if you play around the clock, without sleep, it will take a few days to finish.
You can play with a full party of four, or as few as one character. I recommend four, because each character can specialize their skills into something different. There are difficulty settings, so if it's too hard or too easy, it can be adjusted to fit your skill level.
This is absolutely my favorite game series, and I recommend it highly. The world is very detailed, and the story is incredibly well-written.
I recommend this game!

A Gypsy's Tale: The Tower of Secrets is a fun hidden object adventure game. The graphics are beautifully drawn, the characters are fun, and the story is engaging.
There are no junk pile scenes to dig through. All the hidden object scenes have items that are hidden into the scenery. The puzzles are fun. There is a store where you can trade the crystals you find for items that will help you with your quests.
I really like the fairy/gypsy theme.
I recommend this game!

Redemption Cemetery: Children's Plight is a nice sequel. The story is similar to the first one, but there is now an enemy to defeat throughout the game. The graphics and theme are still as creepy as the original.
The puzzles are more challenging in this one than they were in the original game. That's good, because they were too easy in the original. The hidden object scenes now have a twist -- some interactivity.
The game was about average length, and took me around three-and-a-half hours to finish. Every person plays at a different pace, though.
This is a fun game, and if you liked the first one, you'll like this one.
I recommend this game!

I just finished playing Redemption Cemetery: Curse of the Raven. It's an enjoyable game with a creepy setting, beautiful graphics and a nice story.
The hidden object scenes are challenging, but the puzzles were very easy. Most of the time I was done before the skip option was available. The game was a little on the short side, especially the last quest. Maybe that's because it's not the Collector's Edition. It's still worth buying, if you like this kind of game. It's better than a lot of them, and was quite fun.
I recommend this game!

Spirits of Mystery: Amber Maiden is a fairytale-themed hidden object game. The graphics are very nice. The puzzles were fun but not very challenging. The hidden object scenes were good.
There is no map to navigate the game easily, but when you get to a new section of the game, you rarely have to backtrack to earlier sections. The story was pleasing, and the voice acting was mostly good. The length was about average for one of these types of games. I didn't feel cheated out of the length at all.
Overall, a fun game.
I recommend this game!
