fromCobras & snakes in general are deaf and have poor vision, this is why a snake charmers flute is long and wide on the end, so the snake is merely "following" what he sees, not mesmerized by what he hears!

If you were to take the last 100 new releases from the "Big Guys" developers and put them all together, they wouldn't be able to hold a candle to this single game, Persian Nights! Artifex Mundi deserves a round of applause and a standing ovation for the ingenious creativity of this masterpiece!
This game has everything going for it, gorgeous graphics, an intense plot, creative tasks and features, likable characters, and puzzles and HOP's. There are no collectibles, no morphing objects, no annoying helpers, and no hoops to jump through, but trust me, this is such a strong game entertainment-wise, none of those things are needed! Yes, there's a Talisman gadget with somewhat repetitive mini-games, but it works for this game. Not only does this game adhere to logic, but it also proves that you can hold onto an important inventory item, such as a knife, throughout the game without any ill-effects!
The Hidden Objects Scenes are clear, the objects are identifiable, and they are presented within creative locations. I wish they were actually "hidden" or blended into the scenery like they were in the good old days of HOPA yesteryears past, but that seems to be a technique long abandoned.
The Mini-Games are decent with legible directions, but unfortunately, there are repetitive games associated with the use of the Talisman as well as the Apocathary recipes you'll be concocting throughout the game. Below are brief descriptions of some of the games you'll encounter during the demo:
1) Find 3 hidden symbols on each page during the story.
2) Choose the Sphere that doesn't have the same symbols.
3) Repeat the sequence of Spheres that light up.
4) Click Spheres to turn them all blue.
5) Rearrange blocks to clear an unobstructed path for the key.
6) Move figurines along tracks to their logical slots.

The bottom line is, this game is one of the best Standard Edition versions to come down the pike in a very long time. In reality, it could hold its own against any Collector's Edition version of late. It may not have the CE bling, but most of the CE's offered today would be worthless without its bling, enjoy!
I recommend this game!

The original Haunted Manor games were "old-school" but cool, and I own every one of them. Unfortunately, the dev who created the first 3 games has passed into virtual heaven, and now the "big guys" have taken over, and not very successfully in my opinion.
I must admit, I was really intrigued by the storyline of a class reunion as a scavenger hunt that takes place in the Covington Mansion located on a remote island. Oh, the possibilities are unlimited now baby! I was immediately disappointed in this game, the endless pointless conversations, bland hazy graphics with few details, painstakingly turtle-speed camera pans that can't be sped up, and worst of all, one of the brightest, cheeriest "haunted manors" I've ever seen. What a shame, if the game's plot doesn't match visually, there will be a huge disconnect, making it difficult to relate. This game has a very similar storyline to Tales of Terror: House on the Hill, but at least that game has creepy graphics!
The Hidden Object Scenes are unappealing and make no attempt to hide the objects. It's impossible to miss the objects when there are only 10-15 objects to look at. There are Interactive List finds, Silhouetted Shape finds and Picture finds in the demo itself, and of course, in this Collector's Edition version, each scene has a Morphing Object to discover.
The Mini-Games are actually not bad, but the instructions are very confusing at times. Below are brief descriptions of some of the games you'll encounter during the demo:
1) Drag horizontal and vertical sections to restore the picture.
2) Connect lines from the inner disc to the X spots w/o crossing.
3) Use directional arrows to guide icons to highlighted slots.
4) Swap discs to match the clue shown.
2) Connect lines from the inner disc to the X spots w/o crossing.

Cubis Kingdoms is a fantastic 3D Match 3 game that requires strategy to win. I love that I have to plan my moves carefully, so I don't get stacks and stacks of cubes filling up the board until I run out of moves!
I wasn't willing to shell out the big bucks for the Collector's Edition version, and although it took a long time to be released, I'm glad I waited for this Standard Edition version! The CE version has 50 bonus levels which are a plus, but other than Wallpapers, Concept Art, Music, and Avatar pictures, nothing is offered that constitutes paying double the price, but that's just my personal preference.
This is a Limited Moves type of Match 3 game that you play on a checkerboard, by shooting 3D cubes of 7 different colors, representing the 7 Elements. You can shoot the cube (and switch to the next cube if desired using the icon on the bottom right) from any column or row along the left and bottom sides, when at least 3 cubes of the same color collide, they will be removed. Cells that are highlighted, (color specific) indicate that a new cube will appear there on the next turn, which can cause the cubes to stack upon one another if a cube lands on the highlighted cell without making a match.
The goal is to make a specific number of matches of specific colored cube Elements as shown, within a specific amount of moves. Once you have met the level goals, you can continue to make matches to clear the entire board, if you have enough moves remaining to do so. You can earn up to 3 Stars per level, and any level can be replayed. The gameplay is easy to figure out, but not so easy to master, especially when obstacles are added that can't be moved, such as Stone Blocks, Cats, Frost, Tar, Holes, and Portals!
As you progress, Power-Ups are added such as Lightning Cubes, which will remove all cubes of the same color, once included within a match, Phoenix Eggs, Cube blasting Ermines, Turtle Shells to fill holes, and Raven Fire. (sounds epic doesn't it?)
If you clear all cubes from the board, you will earn a bottle of the Elixir of Life. Throughout the Level Map, there are Phoenix Icons, that will awaken by turning Orange once you have acquired enough Elements. To release the curse trapped within the Phoenix Totem, you will need to use the Elixir on the totem, which lifts the Dark Fog and frees the animals and plants in that area of the map, and you can slightly interact with some of those animals too.

Professor Xiao had been working on a Space-time continuum theory for quite some time, only to hit a brick wall dead-end every time. He nearly gave up on the project altogether, when an unfortunate tragedy killed his brother and his wife, leaving behind their only daughter Sophie. The Professor soon realized that Sophie was no ordinary 13-year-old child, she was a child prodigy! After earning her Masters-degree, Sophie was able to solve the problems the Professor couldn't, and they were on the verge of a major discovery when something went horribly wrong. Blackhill is now engulfed in a strange and ominous mist, something evil lurks within The Mist Over Blackhill, something deadly!
I was asked whether or not I wanted to take Elf with me on my investigation! Okay, I'll admit that some helpers are annoying and unnecessary, but we're talking about Elf! Mystery Trackers and Elf are one and the same and he has been by my side since Black Isles, YES I want to take Elf with me! MT is a series that I fell in love with immediately. I didn't discover this series until Four Aces was released, and I loved it so much, I played the previous games back to back. One of the reason's I loved it was because there's something about Elephant's graphics that give you a certain feeling or realism, a sense that something bad has happened, a creepy vibe in an abandoned town. I also loved the CE Morphing Objects and hope they never do away with this staple feature!
With that being said, I have a couple of legitimate gripes with Mist Over Blackhill, one story-related, the other Collector's Edition related. As far as a CE version, the abundance of bling is good (although I'm not going to humiliate Elf by dressing him up as a baby or forcing him to play bongos) but 3 small chapters, really? No re-playable puzzles or HOP's, really? Now as far as the storyline goes, they broke the number one cardinal rule in a truly frightening plot, NEVER SHOW THE MONSTER! (especially if the monster is a black cartoon fog monster!) Wouldn't it have more of an impact if you DIDN'T know what was lurking in the fog? If victims were snatched by unseen forces and you never knew when and where? (btw the answer is yes)
The Hidden Object Scenes are varied with Silhouetted Shape finds, Morphing Object finds, Keywords in sentence finds, finding 3 bottles to open up the Interactive List finds, and Combination finds where you find items that are the result of 2 pictures combined (watering can + seeds = a plant or flower) and there are small Zoom Zone HOP's where you search for 6 items in a Zoom Zone. I found some of the scenes to be blurry and some items unrecognizable, especially when trying to figure out what pictures were on the combo drawings.
The Mini-Games are my favorite kind, for the most part, I love the "tinkering" type puzzles where you set gauges and tinker with lights etc. Below are brief descriptions of some of the games you'll encounter during the demo:
1) Replicate the pattern of lights shown, 1 affects others.
2) Rotate center crest and slide outer frags to complete crest.
3) Swap tiles to create a path that allows current to flow.
4) Rotate discs until all dots fill the holes.
5) Press buttons to arrange the voltage shown on the clues.
6) Swap tiles to match the pattern shown.
7) Swap tokens w/direction/moves to guide tile past wolf tiles.
8) Swap images to restore the picture.
2) Rotate center crest and slide outer frags to complete crest.

Abandoned at the doorstep of the orphanage when she was just a baby, Jane had only a few clues to search for her father, a casino chip from The House of Azara, and a torn card. Strangely, the Azara casino has re-opened its doors for the first time in 25 years, and Jane knows this is the time to search for answers. The answers don't come easily, however, when Jane realizes she's just entered a life or death tournament. Will this bet pay off, or payout?
This is a fantastic game with a really cool and somewhat original storyline, but it is similar to Deck of Fates. There is a gimmicky Casino Lens feature where you scan the room for unseeable objects the naked eye can't see. I could do without that feature, but it's not too intrusive, There's another gimmicky feature of Cards that somehow give you special powers such as strength. You get the cards from the poor unfortunate players that lost the game, and each card is related to their personality traits. Your sidekick is an adorable Corgi and I kinda liked him! There are 50 Hidden Joker's Scepters to find in this CE version, usually two per scene.
The Hidden Object Scenes are mostly Interactive List finds, but they are located in interesting places and the objects are well blended. There are also Keywords in sentence finds and technically the Casino Chip lens games are more of a HOP than a mini-game puzzle. There are no alternative games offered.
The Mini-Games are creative, unique, and most are downright fun, however, they are all gambling-related with cards, dice and casino chips, so if you don't like gambling, even virtually, you may want to pass on this game. Below are brief descriptions of some of the games you'll encounter during the demo:
1) Slide cards to correct slots by dragging them along tracks.
2) Drag lines through matching symbols to remove all tiles.
3) Drag tokens to correct slots.
4) Use directional arrows to place all 4 tokens in the middle.
5) Scan room with Casino Chip to find symbols shown.
6) Rotate and place dominoes to match values on the board.
7) Adjust levers to complete the image.
8) Choose sturdy rope segments, niches & crystals to climb.
9) Choose any dice to fill 4 slots before your opponent.
10) Reach a score of 20 or higher to beat the dealer.

Normally this dev offers some challenging clutter games, but this one seem super easy. I breezed through the demo with plenty of time remaining on each level, and earned 3 stars on them as well!
The object of this game is to remove items from a heaping pile of junk. There are only two modes of difficulty offered in this version, a Timed mode, or Timeless, I'm not sure why they didn't offer the Hard mode of difficulty in the last couple f games? The Challenge levels have returned, after every fourth level. You can play these challenges in any order, which includes a Match 3 game, A Pair Match game where you flip over 2 cards at a time to try to find matches, and a Clutter game which has two piles of clutter, and you drag the items one by one, from each heaping pile until you find and remove all matching objects.
Some levels may require removing two identical objects, groups of three identical objects, removing objects that either has two or three of the same objects, match a big item to its small counterpart, dragging items from a heaping pile to find matches, or remove one object in color, it's match without color.
Crystals can be removed with a single click, and this will make the Hint option recharge faster. After a few Clutter levels, you get to assemble a different type of puzzle such as a Jigsaw or Slider type, which will give you an extra hint. If you don't use a hint, you will receive extra points, and you get points for any remaining time you may have.
I think I'll pass on this version, I have all the others in this series anyway. This is a good game for beginners though.

Here we go again, with another cutesie Match 3 game by Intersol. These games are created and designed as free to play games on Facebook, and then offered to us for 6.99? All of the features are similar from game to game, and all of them seem to be based on Limited Moves, although it does have a Relaxed Mode option.
I do somewhat like the shifting board feature this game has, where sections of the board move with every match made because it does add a bit of challenge. There are the usual obstacles and the usual bonuses when you make Large Matches of 4 or more which adds a Bonus Power-up to the board that is color specific, Bombs, Directional Bombs and all of one Color Removers origami birds. As you progress, Boosters become available to use at your discretion, such as +5 Extra Moves. You are given a few freebies with each new Booster, but the tutorial forces you to use one of them to give you a visual explanation, and I didn't find an option allowing you to turn off the tutorial.
Bottom line is, if you've played any of these Match 3 games by this dev, the only thing that's different is the theme.
I don't recommend this game.

I love how they were able to mix fantasy with reality and include famous well-known characters in this newest release from Orchid Games, Modern Tales! Emily Patterson is her dad's right-hand man, her go-to guy (wait a minute, leading lady?) at the Science Exposition in Paris. She's helping dad, Brian Patterson, prepare his presentation for his latest invention, an Energy Emitter when havoc ensues. Her father has just become the latest victim of a kidnapping plot of leading scientists in the technology field. Emily is left on her own to investigate her father's kidnapping when all roads seem to lead to a powerful and influential member of society, Alexandre d' Albignac (a real person btw)
This is a pretty decent game! The graphics are fairly decent, and the storyline is fairly original. You'll recognize familiar names such as Alexander Grahm Bell and you'll even get to buy the very first Porsche made, and it's a really fast car lol. I was a bit confused when the demo ended with 40 minutes to spare because this is a very long game containing 7 decent sized chapters! Unless you purchase the game, you won't have access to ANY bonus content, you don't even get to see what the content is, so for that reason alone, I'm only giving the game 4 stars! In the Collector's Edition version, each scene has a hidden Atom that will unlock a secret of some sort.
The Hidden Object Scenes are a little on the scarce side with only two offered within the demo, but then again the demo is extremely short! The first HOP is an Interactive List find the second is a really well done Interactive Progressive Silhouetted Shape find. There are no alternative games offered.
The Mini Games are interesting, some of which are unique, but the directions could be better. Below are brief descriptions of some of the games you'll encounter during the demo:
1) Place cards correctly to activate the interactions.
2) Connect cables to the sockets in the correct sequence.
2) Connect cables to the sockets in the correct sequence.

Another cursed island, another banshee, another plot involving a scorned, falsely accused maid? More symbols and runes than one can count, another stupid gadget Amulet that requires finding crystals for each and every ritual, which you just happen to come across all over the island? (with repetitive mini-game with even more symbols and runes) Do any of these developers even try to come up with something different? Can they at least consort with each other to make sure the same storyline is repeated within 2 days of each other? I'm sorry for being a negative Nelly, a Debbie Downer, a Melancholy Molly, a Horrible Harriet, a Bitter Betty, a Pouty Penny, a Moaning Myrtle...or a Screaming Banshee, but don't we deserve something different? Something fresh and exciting, the kind of game that has you glued to the chair? It's not because I'm bored with playing these games in general. If that were true, then why do I still enjoy dusting off some of my older games that I've played several times over the years?
Unfortunately, we have an Amulet Gadget to say "boo" and scare away the Cursed Objects. (and somebody has a vivid imagination when it comes to these cursed objects) In the Collector's Edition version, there are Morphing Objects that aren't difficult to spot, but certainly more hidden than the collectible Pumpkin/Gourds are. These cursed Jack-O-Lanterns are large and gaudy and stick out like a sore thumb! In the collectibles section, you can read the descriptions of each of the pumpkins.
The Hidden Object Scenes are fairly basic and have no alternate puzzles available. There are Interactive List finds, Multiple Item finds and Progressive Interactive HO's available.
The Mini Games are so simplistic that their directions usually consist of one sentence. They aren't very creative, and the Amulet mini-games of finding rune symbols is annoying. Below are brief descriptions of some of the games you'll encounter during the demo:
1) Decorate the cake according to the recipe.
2) Select the rune that isn't displayed on the left.
3) Use cipher to translate and select correct symbols to type.
4) Repeat the sequence of symbols.
5) Find the dice in a game of "cups"
6) Choose correct items pertaining to the story on the gate.
7) Move the Horse in an L shape to cover entire chess board.
8) Use rotation arrows to swap triangle-shaped puzzle pieces.
9) Set the compass coordinates on the map.

First of all, I'd like to mention the fact that on the first Travel Mosaics game, this dev visited us on the now abolished BF forums. They said they would address the issue of the hard to see numbers that blended into the background, AND THEY DID! Too bad the forums don't exist anymore, because it gave us a way to communicate with the devs who cared enough to talk with us, so if your listening...Thank you for a wonderful game, thank you for fixing the issue!
The filled in squares are colorful and look like 3D bubbles. You can play in an Easy mode which crosses off one by one or Difficult mode which only crosses off squares when the entire row or column has been completed. I wasn't crazy about the music, I'm still not crazy about the overbearing music, but I just turned down the volume.
As you fill in tiles, you will earn coins, or Power-up recharges. Power-ups can be upgraded, and you can also buy Souvenirs. There are Power-ups such as Hammer, Sun, Lightning and even a Bomb, they start out with very little coverage area which increases with each upgrade.
Each Location has 6 main levels, 1 bonus level, and 1 additional puzzle. You must earn at least 3 Stars on each main level to open the bonus level, and you must earn 3 stars on the Bonus Level to open the additional puzzle. You have to earn at least 1 Star in each of the main levels to unlock the next location.
There is a Book icon that gives a brief description of the locations, which comes in handy if you make too many mistakes because you will be asked some questions about the locations as a chance to earn another chance to play.
