Natalie Brooks – The Treasures of the Lost Kingdom Review
Marc Saltzman in his review of Nightshift Legacy: The Jaguar's Eye believes 2008 will go down as the year of the "HOG" as in hidden object games. But I think it would be the year HOGs shun the HOG label for point-and-click adventures like in the old PC days. Natalie Brooks: The Treasures of the Lost Kingdom puts a greater emphasis on adventure and less on hidden object finding. Natalie Brooks returns for another adventure that isn't unlike others we've seen in this genre. Grandpa is lost or kidnapped (in this case, kidnapped) and the hero must search for something in order to get Grandpa back. Though the story sounds clichéd, it integrates well with the game play.Finding Doggy Review
Finding Doggy from Jaibo Games is a very slow-paced match 3 game that requires relying on luck instead of strategy. Plentiful and potent power-ups remove much of the challenge, though. This can be a fun game for families to play together but will offer little of interest to most individual players. Nothing could be simpler than the plot for Finding Doggy. Doggy, a cute mutt from Grandma's farm, falls asleep in the back of a neighbor's pickup truck. Before you can say "cutscene!," he's miles from home, and has to find his way back.Alabama Smith in Escape from Pompeii Tips Walkthrough

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.Alabama Smith starts out with two interesting characters and a good idea: a way to give additional guidance in an adventure. Alabama is a twentysomething college student. The school sends him on a summer course to Europe where he meets the daughter of an archaeologist and they set off on a quest for a mysterious amulet.Gourmania Review
If you are a fan of both time management and hidden object games, then you might want to check out Gourmania. It's a cooking themed game that blends both genres and ingredients in a fun but unoriginal dish, modelled after the popular Go Go Gourmet.Jungle Quest Review
By David Stone
In the match-three market, it takes a strong, unique idea or mechanic to really stand out, and Jungle Quest, the latest puzzler from Friday's Games, just might have it. Unfortunately, though, it's hampered by some quality issues.First, a disclaimer: Jungle Quest is actually a re-release of Curse of Montezuma. Same developer and publisher, same game, different name. If you've played Curse of Montezuma already, then there is absolutely NO REASON to download this carbon copy. If you haven't, then read on:The Treasures of Mystery Island Review
With hidden object games more popular than ever, it's imperative that each new debut bring something different to the table. In the case of The Treasures of Mystery Island, innovation's offered by way of the need to assemble inventory items and use them to solve puzzles or spark off engaging mini-games. Albeit an occasionally frustrating experience due to well-concealed clues, the odd presentation hiccup and the inherent need to find small, oddly-shaped playing pieces, one needn't fret, however. Taken together, the whole of the title adds up to a fun, eye-catching experience that's considerably more than the sum of its individual parts.The Treasures of Mystery Island Tips Walkthrough
GENERAL TIPS When placing items on the hotspots make sure that you see the gears moving before you click an item into place. There's no timer in the game so you can take your time and play the game without pressure. You cannot click randomly on the scene, if you click too many incorrect items, some lights will appear on the screen that will block your view temporarily. I found it easier to collect all the pieces from inventory first and then place the items in the room. Some people ...
