Alabama Smith in Escape from Pompeii Review
A good story helps move a point and click adventure forward, letting gamers rely on their own intelligence to decide what to do next. In Alabama Smith in Escape from Pompeii, however, even the most experienced gamers will hit dead spots that require multiple hints. Some puzzles are satisfying, but overall gameplay can be frustrating owing to a story that jumps between too many instructions and none at all.

Mark and Mandi's Love Story Review
It's a bit early for Valentine's Day, but who couldn't use a little romance? Mark and Mandi's Love Story is a light-hearted "spot the difference" game that includes lots of simple mini-games like shuffled-image jigsaws and memory games. It's a bit rough around the edges, and isn't particularly challenging to start, but it's the sort of game that grows on you as you play.

The Mystery P.I. franchise continues with Mystery P.I. - The New York Fortune, the third game. This one feels like a twin to the previous game, Mystery P.I. - The Vegas Heist (which didn't exactly excite), except that it lives and breathes New York.
Mystery Stories: Berlin Nights Review
In case you haven't noticed, the popular hidden object game genre has evolved in three main areas: better stories, higher production values and by weaving in adventure game-lieke puzzles to add more depth and purpose to your work.
Mystery Stories: Berlin Nights succeeds on all these fronts to deliver a lengthy and memorable game experience that's well worth the investment. It's not a flawless puzzler, but it gets a lot right.

Herod's Lost Tomb Review
Imagine you're visiting your Aunt, an archaeologist. "Look for a bottle," she says. You scratch through dirt with a paintbrush, uncovering something. "This?" "No. Keep looking." You try again. And again. Everything is dustry gray or tan and looks similar. At the fifth nearly identical ceramic object, she says, "That's it. Now look for a pot." That's basically the experience you'll have with the new hidden object game Herod's Lost Tomb.
