Jewel Quest Mysteries 2: Trail of the Midnight Heart Review
If there's one thing a casual gamer can say about the summer of 2009, it's that there is no shortage of hidden object games ("HOGs"). Over the past couple of weeks I've reviewed Diner Town Detective Agency, iCarly: iDream in Toons, Magic Encyclopedia: Moon Light and Department 42 - The Mystery of the Nine.
But as television infomercial guru Ron Popeil says: "But wait, there's more!"
Sprill and Ritchie: Adventures in Time Review
A hidden object title with a twist of adventure, Sprill & Ritchie: Adventures in Time is the latest HOG from Alawar, sending you on a wild ride through past, present, and future. When Ritchie invents a time machine, all is well until a flux mixes items from different eras. But will setting things as they were fix the flow of time, or is there more to history than this simple mishap?
Amazing Heists - Dillinger Review
There are plenty of hidden object games that ask you to help solve crimes, but Amazing Heists - Dillinger asks you to commit one. Several, actually. You'll tag along with the infamous Depression-era bank robber John Dillinger as he and his crew do what they do best, but you'd better keep your eyes peeled. The Feds are hot on Dillinger's trail, and if John and the boys get pinched, they won't be seeing daylight for a very, very long time.
Magic Encyclopedia: Moon Light Review
One of my favorite trends in the casual gaming space is the fusion between hidden-object games ("HOGs") and adventure game-like puzzles, like Mystery Case Files: Return to Ravenhearst and Dream Chronicles: The Chosen Child.
