Daily Magic has delivered a winner to close out the year. What a charming and lovely Christmas offering. The graphics are stunning and I found it hard to advance to the next scene as I stared longingly at the gentile waves lapping onto the shore... so lifelike. There's a great attention to every single detail from the graphics, the storyline, the dialogue, voice acting, etc. There are morphing objects and coins to collect, a map, strategy guide and an intriguing storyline to keep you entertained in this satisfyingly long game. Cheers.

This is an outstanding TM game. To start with the dialogue is captured in comic book style with wonderful graphics and conversation that pulls you into the storyline from the start. The Safari Cafe is charming where there is a long stream of hungry customers who want to be served in a timely manner. The music and sound effects are spot on adding charm to the safari atmosphere. I only wish there was a relax mode as the customers leave if they are not served quickly leaving me a bit manic.

Christmas Wonderland 8 is finally here! If you loved the first 7 chapters you will love this too. The gameplay is the same with hidden objects to find and silhouetted items to collect as well as angels in each scene. Between each HO game there are puzzles and a gift shop to buy presents. Happy holidays!

This is a charming game perfect for children and the young at heart. The game flow and cute graphics are flawless as you match three or more of a variety of cakes to fill your customers orders. These customers are patient and never leave in a huff and are just happy to have cake in their lives. This is a limited moves game but an enormous amount of moves are given that it doesn't seem to become an issue at least in the demo. This is not a challenging game just something to relax to. Perfect for the wee munchkins in your life.

If you loved the cursed house series you will definitely love this also, as it has the same gameplay and extra elements. If you didn't like cursed house because of it's dark halloween theme then this game is a perfect alternative. There is nothing dark here, only delightful icons, lady bugs, and a crystal temple to build. From the get go the gameplay is advanced with helpful hints provided along the way and a guidebook if needed for reference. There is no silliness of limited moves and you can choose either relaxed or timed modes. The only drawback I see is that there are only 110 levels, but as nice as it is I can see the enjoyment of replaying them. This is a lovely game and worth the purchase price.

I'm a huge fan of the Hidden Expedition series, so I was quite keen when this came out. In keeping with past episodes you are tasked in flying around the world to find clues and artifacts to save your colleagues, history, and the world itself. Am I exaggerating a bit, why yes, but this is the closest series where I feel like I'm Indiana Jones where I alone can save the world! This game, like all of Eipix games, has all the bells and whistles you would expect as well as the quality that this dev is known for. This is a series you don't want to miss.

This is a quality and polished game. The graphics and sound effects, as well as the sound track, are spot on with a charming and light hearted spooky feel to it. The game flow is flawless and you have 3 modes of play to choose from: normal, hard, and relaxed. As you play you can unlock bonus levels of mahjong which have halloween themed icons. As you play you collect rubies to build a castle and coins to earn powerups. Brilliant! There are 200 levels to complete. I hope this dev produces more holiday themed solitaire games.

I have mixed feelings about this game. It has some great elements such as interactive HOs and a nice collection of mini-games. The graphics were nice and there was an ease to the game flow. BUT... The kiwi bird helper was creepy and annoying and the neon green emitting from the demonic puppets/dolls was too intense with an almost B movie vibe to them similar to those horrible Halloween movies. On occasion there were these brief high end screeching noises in the soundtrack, due to some kind of glitch, that assaulted my ears a few times. In summary this game had so much potential but fell short in many ways.

What was this dev thinking? The only good thing is the music and the background graphics of a charming African safari. The bad... everything else... The Mahjong cards are tiny and hard to see. Everything is timed with 3 stars to earn on each level. It is impossible to achieve more than 1 star. I tried several times on the very first level. The time bar shrinks very quickly. I can only imagine how the advanced levels work.The only way to open the bonus levels is to earn all stars in 5 of the 10 levels of each chapter. This is not possible. MAHJONG IS SUPPOSE TO BE RELAXING!!!!!!! I felt like I was in an African safari being hunted down by blood hungry lions with the only chance of survival was to earn stars. I didn't make it chaps. Again what were the devs thinking??

Can you imagine if you fell asleep and became trapped in your own nightmarish dreams and memories? It's a fight to make it back to reality in this latest Sable Maze. It's a great game. The storyline grabs you at the start and pulls you in. The HOs are fun and amazingly interactive. The mini-games are varied with some easier than others. The graphics and cutscenes are polished and engaging. There are many things to do in each scene without having to go back and forth in frustration. This is one you don't want to miss!
