Jewel Quest Mysteries 2: Trail of the Midnight Heart Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)You are following the intrepid Eva as she explores steamy jungles, a gorgeous scene of the Taj Mahal, vine- choked exotic ruins, mysterious temples and much more in southwest Asia and in Australia -20 different beautifully created scenes in all. You are going to be kept busy not only looking for relics and the tools to dig them up with but searching for exotic jewels and gold coins, ways to increase your hint bank and your score.

The objects are very well hidden and you're going to need every hint you can get. The search areas are timed and if you click three times on the wrong thing, your time is lopped 30 seconds. If you can't find all those omelets, hot dogs, jukeboxes, tambourines and what-have-you before time is up, you have to play that whole level again. The objects themselves do not shift location, but perhaps one fault of the game is that you are required to return to the same scene too many times whether or not you are repeating a level.

Each environmental location contains a hummingbird bearing a shard, and when you`ve collected enough shards they'll form a board, and you'll play a match- three mini game. Every few levels you're treated to a nice HOG variation. In one of these, when gliding from left to right and while you're looking out a plane window, you're obliged to grab twenty feathers which are cleverly attached to clouds and mountains. You have to hustle a bit to do it.

There is plenty going on in this game and over all it's nicely put together. The art work is simply beautiful and combined with the wonderful Middle Eastern music you'll quickly be immersed in the adventure.

Mystery Case Files: Prime Suspects Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've been hooked on "Mystery Case Files" games since the first one appeared last year (titled "Huntsville").The goal in this series of games is to search for a list of hidden items that have been embedded within various pictures/locations - and to do it within a specified period of time.

In "Prime Suspects", the ultimate goal is to determine who stole the queen's "Hope Diamond".You do this by first locating the hidden items listed in each location within the time allotted.Once you find the clues/items for each suspect, you have to solve another puzzle through the "crime computer" in order to find out what each suspect was really up to at the time of the crime - are they innocent or have they made the "prime suspect" list?

The types of puzzles you'll have to complete include: reconstructing various pictures, matching games, & word finds.Because you aren't given any extra time to complete these puzzles be sure to work fast at finding the clues/items so that you have enough time to complete these puzzles - lest you have to start at the beginning again for that particular suspect.

Overall, I've found the "Mystery Case Files" games to be great fun and highly addictive!If you enjoy "search & find"-type games, you can't go wrong with "Prime Suspects"!

Gardenscapes Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I usually don't buy hidden objects games because of their lack of replay value to me, but I really love this one.

The presentation is lovely. The story is that you inherited of your grandfather's house, and you're in charge of restoring its garden, and eventually to take part in a garderner's club contest. You will be visiting all of the house's rooms (15 in all) to sell the items hidden within them.

The game can be played timed or untimed. There are 3 different types of hints you can use: standard (and you'll get bonus money if you don't use those), as well as camera and thermometer hints that are hidden within the rooms (cameras show a flash of where the objects are located, while thermometers change your cursor from cold to hot as you move it across the scene).

You can serve up to 5 customers at once, for a total of 20 customers (objects) to find per room. The customers' faces appear on the left of the screen along with the name of the object they want to buy and how much they'll pay for it. Once you find the object, a pile of coins is displayed in place of that customer -- it's up to you to click the money to immediately get another customer, or wait until you finish serving one of the other customers. This way, you can control how many customers you're handling at once -- if they have to wait too long (I mean, really too long -- and this is independant of whether you selected timed or untimed mode) the amount of money they offer you for the object will slowly decrease.

Sometimes, customers will ask you to find a set of 2, 3 or 4 similar objects (for instances, 3 pairs of gloves). If you manage to click on all items in the set in quick succession, you'll get a bonus amount of money.

Every so often, you'll also receive letters from special customers asking you to sell them a set of 20 objects (for instance 20 coffee makers) hidden in a single room. Other times, you'll have to find a set of 20 objects hidden among several different rooms on top of the 20 standard hidden objects.

Also, on top of the objects you'll have to search for customers, a certain amount of loose coins are hidden within each scene. Don't miss them if you want the extra money.

What is really nice is that, not only does the list of objects you have to find changes everytime (that's the norm for HOGs), but also most of the items within the room (and the coins) will be moved around! So if you found that umbrella next to the chair last time, it might be a different size and in a completely different place next time! This truly add enormous replay value to the game.

Another thing that adds replay value is the beautiful garden. Between each room search, you'll be brought back to your garden where you can use the money you earned to buy items. For each item, you'll be able to choose between 3 different styles which you can mix and match anyway you want. You can even change your mind later on (for a small fee) and pick another item or style, so you can potentially continue playing forever as you change your garden around.

I really have nothing bad to say about this game except, maybe, that' I'd want more of it. It would be great to have even more rooms, or an even bigger garden to customize. I'd definitely pay for an expansion to this game, or a version 2 maybe.

I've played GardenScapes on 3 different computers -- on XP and Vista 32-bit, and currently playing it on Windows 7 64-bit. Works fine on all 3 operating systems. No problem at all.

Nora Roberts Vision in White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I agree with the previous reviewer.This is a truly beautiful hidden objects game.The story is the thing, and may not be everyone's cup of tea: weddings and romance and the hint of intimacy,but I for one haven't enjoyed a game this much in a long time.It is gorgeous, relaxing and a decent length.I appreciate the lightness and exquisite use of color. So many games seem dark and somber these days. Either that or they are cartoonish with oversaturated pigments.Not this game.

I could tell right off this wasn't a game to rush through so I played the untimed version.The hidden object scenes are just right: not too easy and not impossibly difficult. There are a few mini-games woven into the story. I found them pretty simple but fun and refreshingly different.You are asked to take wedding photos, decorate cakes, arrange flowers and guide wedding party members or guests to their seats. If you do well on the mini game, you get an extra hint. You can also get extra hints by finding certain letters hidden in each hidden object scene. These can be tricky to discover, but it adds to the fun challenge.

The list of objects changes somewhat with repeated gameplay, and a few objects change location when you return to a scene during the game, so it does have some replay value.

Am so glad I tried and purchased this one and look forward to the sequel which is supposed to come out at the end of the year.Hope Amazon offers it.
