I enjoyed this game because it's simple, yet challenging. Also, I enjoyed the "anti-clutter" advice along the way. It's original and very much a departure from your usual storybook HO games.
I recommend this game!

Nancy Drew Dossier: Lights, Camera, Curses
Join Nancy Drew as she goes undercover to expose the truth behind the calamitous production of a cursed Hollywood remake!
My daughter and I have played all the Nancy Drew large file games, but this was a nice and lite departure from the usual. It was definitely challenging, given there were no skip or hint buttons (it got kind of tough toward the end). It was quite original, too...like no other hidden object game I've ever played. Plus, there was a cool surprise ending and some funny "blooper" scenes. A fun game!
I recommend this game!

Phantasmat
After crashing your car in the middle of nowhere, you stumble upon a mysterious town with a shady background. Solve a dark mystery!
In this game, you get to solve 3 different ghost stories, so it's definitely more bang for your buck! I enjoyed the rooms shifting between past and future, and the effects of the water in the distance. My only criticism would be the lack of map. The monologues ran on a little long, but you can skip those and they'll summarize for you. Was lots of fun!
I recommend this game!

Farmscapes
Help Joe restore his ranch! Breathe in new life into a formerly prosperous farm in Farmscapes, a fun Match 3 game!
I've played this game several times, and always have a blast with it. I love the rambling story lines of Joe and Tom, and how they involve us (you even get to name the dog). The match 3 and hidden object scenes are fun, too. Watching your farm grow (3 different farms, in fact) is always a good time. This game definitely has it all!
I recommend this game!

Even after playing the entire series, I still go back and play this one...it's still one of the best! Lovely scenes, beautiful music and fun mini-games definitely make this game worth buying! The only short-coming is no map...otherwise, it's perfect!

Dream Day Wedding
Plan Jenny`s wedding in this unique seek-and-find adventure. Just keep your wits on the Wedding Crisis levels!
This is one of those old-school hidden object games where it's REALLY tough to find the objects and you have very little hints to go on. Towards the end I was randomly clicking all over the place. That being said, I enjoyed the "choose your own adventure" type story line. I only recommend this to those who are dying to start from the beginning of the "Dream Day" series. Otherwise, I would skip it.
I don't recommend this game.

True Fear: Forsaken Souls
What if everything you knew about your life, everything your family ever told you, turned out to be a lie?
This was an excellent game! It was cut into 3 acts, so it actually felt more like 2 games in one. It was scary, but not TOO scary (my 12 year old daughter played it and was fine). The cut-scenes were the creepiest, they really did a great job of building up the suspense. I enjoyed the music as well...very eerie. The end will leave you dangling, so I definitely am looking forward to True Fear 2, which is set to be released this year.
I recommend this game!

Annie's Millions
Go on a million dollar shopping spree in Annie's Millions, a Hidden Object challenge! Explore a wide range of shops and boutiques!
Like most of the reviewers said, the game was too short, which is my only real complaint. Other than that, I enjoyed it! It was fun "shopping" at the stores. This is one of the few games with hidden objects that actually apply to the story (the sweet shop only had sweets, the art shop only had art supplies, etc.). Some of the items were tough to find, but you can earn hints with four different "Price Is Right" type games that I enjoyed playing. It's a cool game if you only have a couple of hours to spare.

I have played and enjoyed all the Garden Inc. games, but this one was by far the best yet. Why? Because I was actually able to finish it! This was the first in the series that allows you to play without a timer. I was never able to beat the clock well enough to finish the relatives house or business or wedding venue in the other games, but I was able to complete the room (I don't want to spoil what KIND of room) in this one long before I completed my jobs! It's great for people like me that enjoy the "management" aspect more than the "time" aspect of Time Management games.
I recommend this game!

I didn't think I was going to enjoy this game (mainly because I hate rats), but the hauntingly beautiful music, lovely graphics and interesting story line pulled me in. I also liked that it was a bit of a challenge to find what I needed to progress in the story. Definitely worth playing!
