Like: - Lex the Bookworm is a cool character. - Compared to other word linker games, this one is so easy to understand and so quick to start playing. - Scoring system keeps you playing. - If you like the concept of word linking, get this game.
CAUTION: - This comes BEFORE Bookworm Adventures and doesn't have any of the advanced gameplay or features of Bookworm Adventures 1 and 2. - Tried to get into this, but it just isn't deep enough as it is just a word linker. I feel dumb only finding 3-4 letter words.
I do recommend this, but it's just not deep enough for me (it's just a word linker).

Like: - New York flavor and funny graphics and sound - Addictive!!!!!!! - Cool upgrades in cooking - FAST paced and entertaining! - Can't really explain the reason why, but THIS GAME IS 100% FUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!
Caution: - Need to be QUICK with the mouse - Comes THIS close to rivaling Burger Shop and Burger Shop 2, but the lack of extra modes and replaying of levels prevents it from becoming one of the best games ever. This is the CLOSEST any food game has come to being as fun as Burger Shop (the "Dash" series is overrated). Comes in a nice 3rd place behind Burger Shop 1 & 2.
TO THE REVIEWER WHO SAID YOU CAN'T SEE YOUR TROPHIES: Simply click on AWARDS in the main menu. No need to take away a star just because you couldn't find it.
Like: - Better than Burger Shop 1, and that says a lot. There are not enough stars to rate this great game. - More food and toppings. I always get hungry when I play. :-) - The extra challenges are awesome. - The alien storyline is great.
Caution: - You need to be quick on the mouse. - Makes Burger Shop 1 obsolete. - You will be in withdrawal for Burger Shop 3 after you beat Burger Shop 2.
ONE OF THE TOP CASUAL GAMES OF ALL TIME. Really heads and shoulders above the generic cookie cutter time management games that try to copy this.
Like: - It's just soooo addicting and FUN. Can't explain why, it just IS. - Bunch of levels and challenges. - Storyline to advance the game. - One of the best casual games of all time. All other food games try to copy this and generally FAIL.
Caution: - You gotta be VERY quick with the mouse. This is a super fast paced game. - Burger Shop 2 is better.
I wish Big Fish Games would keep "old" games like this one in the Top 100 so everyone could have easy access to them.
I recommend this game!

Steel your nerves and jog your memory as you race against the clock in this fast-paced take on crossword fun!
Like: - Well, it's a crossword puzzle in a gameshow format: pretty awesome. - Keeps track of your winnings to unlock different modes. - Very faced paced. - Decent graphics and sound.
Caution: - Round 1 frustrating as you get penalized for incorrect answers although there could be more than one correct answer with the certain number of letters. - Very short on time to think of the answer. Not recommended if you are slow on the keyboard! - No trial and error- you lose money for any incorrect answer.
A NOTE ON THE BRIT'S 1-STAR REVIEW: Very unfair! Yes, it has American cities. No, I did not know the capital of Kentucky. Big deal! Just pass on those questions. No need to give this game 1 star just because of that ONE thing.
Like: - Great premise and concept- you are in control of the "Scrabble" board with the same letters over and over again. - Gradual difficulty - No timer - Can easily lose an hour without even knowing it.
Caution: - This game DOES work with Windows 7 (previous review said no). Just make sure you are not in Full Screen mode and hit the Windows Desktop keys. - Only one game mode.
Like: - The concept of a game with a bunch of brain teasers. Crossword seemed OK....
Caution: - I had issues with the instructions and tutorials. - Interface was horrible. Not sure who tested this. - Too hard to work to be a "casual game"
Like: - One of the best casual video games of all time, if not the best. - Unlimited playability. - Great personality and humor. - Love the graphics and sound. - Big time strategy.
Caution: Some folks that don't have high computer skill may have issues. Get the trial first because this is a deep game.
