The Search for Amelia Earhart Review
This flight into the past begins in 1937 in Chicago. Christine Barker, a clairvoyant and Amelia Earhart fan inspired by the pilot's courage, follows Earhart's adventures from the first flight to her disappearance with help from her gift. The Search for Amelia Earhart is the aviation version of shipwreck-focused Nat Geo Adventure: Ghost Fleet. The intriguing story of Earhart's travels covers both the true story and a little creative license in this average hidden object adventure.The game tells the story through dialogue that occurs between scenes as well as when you find specific items. You'll follow Christine over the years and pick up various tidbits about Amelia's history.The Clumsys 2: Butterfly Effect Review
By Andy Chalk
"Embedded in the mud, glistening green and gold and black, was a butterfly, very beautiful, and very dead. It fell to the floor, an exquisite thing, a small thing that could upset balances and knock down a line of small dominoes and then big dominoes and then gigantic dominoes, all down the years across Time. Eckels' mind whirled. It couldn't change things. Killing one butterfly couldn't be that important. Could it?" So wrote Ray Bradbury in the classic short story "A Sound of Thunder," the roundabout inspiration for The Clumsys 2: The Butterfly Effect, the second game based on the adventures of the time-traveling Albert Clumsy and his family.Shaman Odyssey: Tropic Adventure Review
By Erin Bell
Cateia Games' Shaman Odyssey is the latest tropical island-themed building/sim game where you're tasked with shepherding a tribe of villagers through various challenges and dangers on a quest to reach their "true home." While the game boasts some unique graphical tricks, the wholly unoriginal premise and lacklustre gameplay is a bit of a disappointment. The game begins when the tribe's young Shaman (you, the player), is visited by an ancestral spirit who urges him to reunite the tribe - whose people have been scattered throughout many different islands - and lead them to a permanent and safe home.Joan Jade and the Gates of Xibalba Review
By Erin Bell
Stop me if you've heard any of this before. Some children have gone missing. Their mother rushes off to find them. She happens to be an intrepid explorer-type. Her search takes her into the heart of a South American jungle where she must investigate an ancient temple. Although the premise of Joan Jade and the Gates of Xibalba is interchangeable with dozens of other hidden object/adventure games, and its gameplay is thoroughly average, it's at least easy on the eye and boasts some clever (if repetitive) puzzles.Jack the Ripper: Letters from Hell Review
By Erin Bell
Jack the Ripper: Letters from Hell approaches Jack the Ripper from an interesting angle. Instead of playing one of the "good guys" trying to track down the serial killer, you follow the more dubious exploits of John Bert, a reporter who decides that the best way to sell papers is to publish as many sensational details about the Whitechapel murders as he can - even if that means making up fake evidence and sending letters pretending to be written by Saucy Jack himself. It's unique twist, but unfortunately the rest of this hidden object game is excruciating to play.The Hardy Boys: The Hidden Theft Review
Leaping from the printed page to your computer screen, The Hardy Boys: The Hidden Theft puts you in the role of the sleuthing siblings Frank and Joe Hardy. And while the franchise has decades of teen-aged crime-solving under its belt, this video game adaptation ends up playing like an almost entirely generic point-and-click adventure. It has a few good ideas, but unfortunately they're all underdeveloped. This is a game for the fans only.Simplz: Zoo Review
By Chad Sapieha
If you're shopping for a match-three game with a bit of meat on the bone, look no further than Simplz: Zoo. This lengthy puzzler serves up nearly a dozen hours of polished puzzling plus several more spent building and customizing a monster-sized zoo. You're unlikely to find many other games in the genre that offer more bang for the buck. The story begins with a handwritten letter informing players that they have inherited a zoo from their grandfather, and that he hopes we will fulfill his dream of making his menagerie the top-ranked facility of its kind in the world (though, it's worth noting, he doesn't seem to have done much to achieve this goal himself, given that we start the game with just a single attraction). Then it's straight to work.Wizard Land Review
By David Stone
It's rare that a game can come completely out of nowhere and impress, particularly in the sometimes-tired puzzle genre. Looking at the screenshots for Wizard Land, the latest from developer Rumbic Studio, it looks like an average puzzle game. But looks are deceiving, and seen in action, Wizard Land is one of the best puzzle games to have come along in a long time.The story for Wizard Land isn't awe-inspiring. A land has been overrun by evil wizards, who have turned the land's source of power (a magical flower) into stone, along with the land's protector, a magical fairy. You, as the oldest wizard remaining, travel across the land to restore the power of the flower to the people, and save Wizard Land.
