This game... ug, it seemed fun at first, but as the game progressed you find that the space limits dampen the fun. At any given stage, you have to sell some of your equipment and buy whatever is applicable for the illnesses that are going around for that particular day.
The stages don't really scale well... you don't spend points to upgrade your people or your equipment, you go to a screen at the beginning of each stage and move the silders over to dedicate a certain amount of money that you will make in that day to making everything work better, which you can do on each and every stage from the beginning.
Basically to me, this game was a hassle and I stopped enjoying it after about an hour and a half unfortunately.
I don't recommend this game.

Haunted Domains
Manage a haunted hotel for comical creatures of the night! Haunted Domains will have you howling with delight!
Lots of really great quirky characters in this one. I love horror, but the lighter side of it like this is fun for me as well. The story is cute and fun along with the game.
Hospital Haste is similar to this game, but in my opinion not quite as good since Haunted Domains has so much character to it. But it's a good game to pick up if you want more of this type of gameplay.
I recommend this game!

Hospital Haste
Help Nurse Sally work quickly to diagnosis, treat, and cure all of her patients in Hospital Haste, a fun Time Management game!
The game itself is quite fun! Most rush games don't have great graphics so I can't really take away for that.
But I have to subtract points for: 1. The shortness of the game 2. The collecting mini-game is annoying.
You have to do mini-games every so often to keep items in your shop stocked up and it's not always fun and sometimes what you get in them are so random that your skill plays little role in what you come out with.
I recommend this game!

Time Mysteries: Inheritance
Vivien Ambrose has just discovered how to travel through time! Set off through history in Time Mysteries: Inheritance!
I liked it! One of the earlier games I played from Big Fish as it was the first one I ever saw on sale and I was not disappointed.
It's a pretty good length, so I'd say worth it even if it isn't on sale. The art is nice, storyline pretty good and the mini-games are pretty decent and fun.
I recommend this game!

Mystery of the Earl
Lillian's fiance, Christian, has been kidnapped by an evil witch! Help Lillian explore Christian's castle and save her love!
It's a cute little fantasy game, but not very high quality. Just decent. Not as good as the Awakening games.
You get more bang for your buck if you really like to search out all the extras, like finding all the diamonds in each area.
Graphics aren't the best, which can make searching a bit more difficult than it need be, especially since it's the type of HOG where you find fragments of the pictured items rather than having jumbled search scenes that you pick out objects from.
I don't recommend this game.

This why you "try" the game first even if it's on sale!
So yeah, now I've learned that the hard way. Although this isn't the only game I've done that with lol.
Everything about it just screams kiddie to me. The quality of the story feels like something between Scooby Doo and Smurfs without the comedy to make it fun.
The art isn't great, the people in particular look terrible to me. Gameplay is common, boring and easy.
Not the shortest game, but not really long enough to make it worth it either, especially given the quality of the game.
I don't recommend this game.

Skymist - The Lost Spirit Stones
Magic has been drained from the enchanted realm of Skymist - find the lost Spirit Stones and restore peace to the kingdom!
It's a bit short, but not terribly so. Worst thing about it is that characters are annoying and poorly drawn. The rest of the art is decent, but not as good as most HOGs. Too much is dependent on the shadows from rendering (for those who know what I'm talking about)
The gameplay is just plain and unremarkable. There's a bit of fun in it, but compared the the vast majority of HOGs, this is in the lower half.
Probably a good game for kids I'm thinking.

Urban Legends: The Maze
During the finale of The Maze, the transmission is mysteriously stopped. Now it's up to you to find the missing contestants!
Didn't find this game very fun... A bit short and it's one of those games where you search for fragments of pictured items, rather than searching for listed items in a jumbled scene.
Apparently the story wasn't all that interesting either as I don't find it memorable. I just took a glance at the walkthrough to try to refresh my memory, but although i remember playing through all the scenes I saw, I don't remember anything about an overall storyline.
