Haunted Hotel II: Believe the Lies Review
Of the dozens of hidden object games that Gamezebo reviewed in 2008, one that I definitely didn't expect to get a sequel was Haunted Hotel, a game that we panned for, among other things, poor English, lackluster graphics and numerous technical gaffes. Haunted Hotel II: Believe the Lies is an improvement, but is still hampered by various issues.
Haunted Hotel Review
As a concept, a hidden object game set in a spooky old hotel is just oozing with potential - after all, not that many casual games have chosen to explore slightly darker subject matter like horror and the supernatural. It's the spectacular failure to deliver on such potential, however, that makes Haunted Hotel all the more frustrating.
