In this game, you are a peasant who finds herself in a castle where everyone has been put into a deep slumber by a curse. You have no memory of how you got here, but soon pieces of your memory come back and you discover you were to marry the prince. You meet the "heart of the castle", a mechanical ghost? I'm not quite sure what he is. He has you running around the castle (which is large) to find the things you need to awaken the sleeping castle inhabitants before they die. There is a helpful journal and a map which does transport you, thank goodness. The HOS are well done and easy on the eyes. The mini games or puzzles are simplistic but some make no sense at all. There is dialogue to read but it is also spoken... not bad. This game isn't my type of game, meaning it did not grab me and make me want to continue or find out more. No reason for that, just personal preference. I suggest you try it, you may enjoy it.
I recommend this game!

This is an extremely cute TM game. You are a little fairy who cleans for storybook creatures. The game is simple to learn, cute, fun, and not real difficult. A great little time passer. Every once in a while I reload it onto my desktop and play. Fun.

Yayy. Finally the SE has arrived. I had played the CE and have been awaiting the SE. The HOS are nice, slightly interactive and not difficult. The story line is very interesting. Just one of those games that grabbed my attention from the beginning. Must be the vampire theme :) I am off to buy !!

I've never heard of Castle... I watch very little television. I gave this game a try thinking it would be another loser to end up the week. However, I ended up enjoying it. There are two modes of play. There are HOS and mini games, neither difficult. You do have an interactive map and an evidence board. No voice overs -- just bubble speech, but that's ok by me. I liked the game because it was something different. Yes, it was very simplistic without all the flare of the new games. But that was the appeal of it. I'm not sure how long the game is because I only played the demo, but it is a great game for beginners or just to while away an afternoon.
I recommend this game!

I loved the previous Shiver games. I'm not too sure about this one however. Story: Your carriage breaks apart and you are stranded. Then you need to traipse all over the place to **I'm not sure what yet*. This is more an adventure game than a HOS game, which I usually love. Something about the game did not have that "zing" factor for me. The HOS that I did come across were good. The puzzles you encounter are placed as items in your inventory and you need to wait until you have the proper code or whatever you need to solve the puzzle in order to do it. I didn't care for that. I usually love dark games... this one is just so drab and dark. Many times I had to click on an inventory item multiple times in order to use it. The "hand" feature just wouldn't grab it. The collectors edition offers the usual wallpaper, blah blah blah, and the choice to replay HOS (NOT), and an epilogue chapter. That, to me, is not enough for double the price. There is a diary, no map, and I am thinking already that this game could definitely use a map. This is a pass for me and will retry it once the SE comes out. This is just based on my personal tastes. Im sure others will love the game so I will recommend it.

The gist of this game begins with a scientist who creates a vaccine to cure all the world's ills. Except it turns people into zombies instead. You and your new husband are on your honeymoon on an island. You go to sleep because you are just so exhausted while he goes out for a walk, and BAM, he is turned into a zombie... along with the rest of the town. The zombies do not like rain. Thus, you need to un-zombify your husband and save yourself. The graphics are ehhh, ok. There is dialogue to read. You do get a journal. No map, but the journal is helpful. There are HOS aplenty. Not too difficult. No misclick penalty either, yay. The puzzles are elementary. You do get pauses between scenes where the screen blacks out. Many objects in the HOS are misnamed. Your cursor is easily visible, as far as picking up inventory items. You need to be spot on when you perform certain combining tasks or it just doesn't work. Although I'd like to find out how this story unfolds, this is a B game. It needs work and frankly I'm not one to buy a game that is released in such a sloppy way. Some may like it. I wouldn't buy it, but I recommend you try it for yourself :)))
I don't recommend this game.

When I saw a game involving zombies, I said "Yes" !!!! Then I played the demo, and said, "NO" !!!!!! Oh my, I don't even know where to start. I was utterly confused here. I see one reviewer wrote about the crystal clear graphics. I'm not seeing that. I experienced grainy, ridiculous HOS, a cursor so small it was impossible to differentiate useful items unless I clicked on everything. I don't think there was music. Only annoying echoing sounds. Actions made no sense. Oh, etc. etc etc. Just awful. Not even for free would I play this again.
I don't recommend this game.

I had played TV Farm 1 way back and I didn't care for it. The developers have fine tuned the sequel dramatically. The characters are much more likable. You are able to harvest by dragging your mouse. You are also able to plant seeds the same way. The premise here is that you need to have to best farm to win the farming competition. Similar to Farm frenzy games in that you take your vegetables and make them into other products. Then send the truck off to make a profit. You will need to think a bit to figure out what will make you the most money. The tutorial was excellent. Game play was smooth. For avid TM players, I would recommend :))))

Here we have a deliciously challenging game. The graphics are nice., HOS are very imaginative with you using your inventory item (s) to get the one thing you need from the HO scene. The puzzles are challenging, but can be skipped. I suppose the music was ok because I didn't notice it. The hint button is helpful in and out of HOS. It points you in the right direction, which is good because thus far there are many places to go. You really need to think about how to use your inventory items. Some, you carry with you for quite a while. The story is mysterious and keeps you interested. Because I believe I will need the SG for this game, I am going to get the CE, which I rarely do. Excellent game and something different from the same old, same old :) Enjoy !!!
I recommend this game!
