I have just finished the trial game period and it has interested me enough to go ahead and purchase the game for the Deal of the Day price of $2.99. I found the graphics and colors to be brilliant and vibrant. The story line is so so, but most games of this sort are. As far as the match 3 goes. I found some that were swaps and some that were just click on three or more. I only made it to round 4-1 when I ran out of time, so I can't tell you how long the game lasts or how difficult it might get as it gets farther into it, but I am looking forward to finding out. I would say that Artifact Quest is worth the price as the Deal of the Day.

I have found "A Girl in the City" to be a good hidden object game with some twists and nice mini games. The object are of medium difficultly to find but the mini games make up for some less challenging aspects. As a Daily Deal, I find it to be well worth the price.
This game is a typical HOG (Hidden Object Game). If you like HOG's, there is a good chance you might like this game. The storyline I found very boring and the dialog childish, if you agree, like most games, it gives you the option to skip over it. The only mini game is the "redesigning/decorating" of these homes for sale, but you are limited to only a few choices; similar to the "Gardenscape" or the "Antique Road Trip" series.
I wouldn't suggest paying full price for this game, maybe as a freebie or when a discount comes along then you might want to pick it up.
On another note: I get tired of people putting up one line reviews saying, "Boring" or "Don't waste your money" without telling you why. If you are going to review a product, then describe for the reader what it is you like or don't like about what you are reviewing; allowing them to make up their own mind instead of being told what to do. Thank you for listening to me.
I played the New York version of Big City Adventure first and that was it, I was hooked on the game, on HOG and especially on Big City Adventure games! Don't quote me, but I think this game has between 80-90 rounds. Between each round is a terrific mini game that you really don't get bored with because there are so many different ones. Big City Adventure is extremely re playable. Before I found the next several Big City Games, I replayed this version at least 3 times and had different experiences each time. If you like to learn interesting facts about places or are a trivia buff, read the dialogue, you really might learn a thing or two, I sure did. Once you have one Big City Adventure game, you will have to have them all, start like I did, with this one, Big City Adventure: New York. I really think you'll love it!
I recommend this game!

Big City Adventure: Sydney, Australia
Search for cleverly hidden items around the amazing city of Sydney. Head down under and join the next Big City Adventure!
I played the New York version of Big City Adventure first and was hooked. The Big City Adventure: Sydney game is equally as appealing and interesting. The game isn't just a quick run through it in 45 minute game, it is a very re playable game with dozens of rounds and terrific mini games in between each round. I strongly suggest that if you like trivia or to learn interesting facts about different places, read the script while you play, at least the first time. Once you play one Big City Adventure, you will have to have them all.
Big City Adventure was my first hidden object game. I played the New York version first and was hooked. The Big City Adventure: Vancouver game isn't just a quick run through it in 45 minute game, it is a very replayable and has dozens of rounds. I strongly suggest that if you like trivia or to learn interesting facts about different places, read the script while you play, at least the first time. The Mini Games are great as well without getting boring. Once you play one Big City Adventure, you will have to have them all. As far as the collectors version is concerned, I really didn't see the advantage in payying the extra money. I think it got me 5 extra rounds and I really don't care about the wall papers and such....lesson learned.
Big City Adventure was my first hidden object game. I played the New York version first and was hooked. I had to have them all. The game is very replayable and with 70-90 rounds, depending on the city you are playing, Big City Adventure: San Francisco isn't just a quick run through it in 45 minute game. I strongly suggest that if you like trivial or to learn interesting facts about different places, read the script while you play, at least the first time. The Mini Games are great as well without getting boring. Once you play one Big City Adventure, you will have to have them all!
I have come to love hidden object games, but I really don't like the mystery or spirit world ones. It's refreshing to come across a HOG that doesn't focus on the same thing 90% of the other games do. So, about Antique Road Trip, I found the story good and somewhat plausible. A newlywed couple have opened an antique shop and must fill it with merchandise. They do this by going all over the country to help friends with tasks to earn money (this is where the hidden object scenes come in) then you use the money to outfit their store, I really liked that part. Once the store is completely outfitted the game is basically over, however, I found you can keep playing scenes and earning money but it really doesn't do you any good as far as the story goes. I'm really looking forward to playing Antique Road Trip 2.
Christmas Wonderland is a fairly easy (5 on a scale of 10) hidden object game with a holiday theme. Basically, you are going through your hidden object scenes and along the way you are finding all the elements to fill the calendar for the Christmas Song i.e. 5 golden rings, 4 calling birds, 3 french hens 2 turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree. Christmas Wonderland is a nice Parent and Child game or a fun game for a sentimental old grandma like me. I imagine I will play Christmas Wonderland each year until computers change too much and I can't play it any more. --

Fairway™
Spend some time on the Fairway and take on challenging courses! Try to stay under par in this amazing Card game!
If you enjoy pyramid style solitaire games, you are going to LOVE Fareway. Instead of your typical triangle shape of cards that you are trying to remove from the playing field, Fareway has endless designs of shapes, obstacles and barriers to frustrate and challenge the best card player. While game play is going on, simultaneously you are playing a game of golf, trying to stay under par and in addition, occasionally dealing with a pesky gopher. Sounds insane, but in reality, Fareway is addictive and extremely fun to play.
