Fairy tale again. Ok game play and story line. First two "to do" items start with OH!, watched for that through the demo and did not see it but was more interested in the game. However, once I receive the Thank You for playing Demo, the screen locked up, locked my computer as well. Tried selecting different options, locked. Waited to see if I would unlock, nope, had to reboot.

I played only the demo so my rating is based on that. Music isn't loud and intrusive, same track over and over. The hint button sort of floats when used. You will understand better once you try. Challenge games are easy, instructions easy to follow. Story line, cut scenes are there but not long and there is a skip button. The only thing I noticed is I could not play full screen because some of the hidden items were off the side of the game screen. I did use the hint to find some items and found using the flashlight did help when looking for hidden items. This is a great game for beginners. Map included if you need to find out where you are and where possible action is needed.
I recommend this game!

Demon Hunter: Chronicles from Beyond - The Untold Story
Professor Ashmore, the same man who so kindly took you in and raised you as his own has been murdered. It’s up to you to find out why, but are you prepared for what truths may be uncovered?
I just tried the demo. Sloooww moving. Instructions for Puzzles not good. In one part you need to move rocks aside to find a puzzle part but if your pointer is on the rocks they don't move, you have to have your pointer off the rocks to the top or side to get them to move, not very good. In some HO's if you click directly on one of the items it won't work, you have to click slightly to the side of the item. Not a buy for me.
I don't recommend this game.

The Ultimate Easter Puzzler
Fabulous Easter-themed entertainment with over 100 beautiful springtime puzzles that the whole family will love!
This is a fun challenging game that will work great with children. You can select the difficulty level, the instructions are easy to understand. It has great color and graphics. The learning for young children, match, differences and puzzles are wonderful. As the child progresses, the levels of difficulty can be changed and the challenge of collecting points should inspire competition between siblings.
I recommend this game!

What a waste of money. Too Dark, No Instructions, Sad Sad Sad. I bought because it sounded good, my mistake. How anyone rated it 3 stars or more is beyond me.
I don't recommend this game.

Skeptical at first. I only played the demo but I really like the different HOG games. They are not the normal HOG's. You have the challenge of finding the object and using it to find another object and so on. This is a definite purchase for me. The graphics are good, clear pictures. You get credit on the mini games for figuring out how to play them without looking at the instructions first. On the achievements page you can answer questions for the game and get credit for the correct answers but don't worry, if you are wrong you can play again. I liked the challenge and to me it is a new way to play. Kept me interested in continuing and was disappointed when the trial was over.
I recommend this game!

I made it through 7 minutes of the trial and had to quit. If you are brand new to MahJong then it may be ok. I noticed there isn't a way to skip tutorial or to keep the Hints from highlighting the next move. It auto shuffles for me instead of giving me a minute to do it myself. Very basic. I was interested in the game to give me something to do when I wanted to chill. Not a buy for me.
I don't recommend this game.

I played only the sample game and only about half of it. Most of the time spent was waiting on the scenes to change as response time was slow. The HOG portion is also slow when you find an object. Over all it is ok, but does take too long to switch scenes. Not a buy for me.

This is a cute game. Some unexpected challenges. Puzzles were pretty easy. On a few the instructions could be a little clearer but most were easy to follow. For the price this is a good game. Worth the non collectors price. Not sure I would want to spend more to purchase collectors but it is a game that younger game players would like. Magical in its graphics, not too much talking. I keep volume down so not sure about the music portion. Cut scenes are not too long, which is great. Overall it is a fun game to play.
