    Seven Seas Solitaire Review

    By

    There are very few things cooler than robots and ninjas. This is universally understood. Yet certain characters and archetypes do come close, and periodically rise with the cultural tide. Just look at werewolves and vampires. Those dudes are killingit. Cowboys are doing pretty well, too. But what about our beloved, scurvy-ridden friends, the pirates?

    By

    With so many hidden object games on the market, simply replicating the formula of the genre will do little to set a game apart from the crowd. Since many of these games offer the same mix of hidden-object scenes, mini-games and object-based puzzle progression, visual themes and settings can do a lot to set a HOG apart.
