Island Realms Review
By David Becker
When Alawar Melesta, creator of the popular Farm Frenzy-series, decides to develop a game that can be compared to the surprise hit My Kingdom for the Princess, this could be interesting. While the lack of a proper tutorial for a rather complex game and a somewhat choppy and shortish storyline appear a bit daunting in the beginning, Island Realms nevertheless turns out to be more innovative and engaging than the usual more of the same entry in the casual market.Tourist Trap Review
By David Becker
A town with $1 million in debts surely does sound familiar to a lot of people nowadays. Accumulating debt is very easy without a doubt, but what can be done to pay them back? What is still a mysterious question in reality is absolutely no problem in Tourist Trap, the new building simulation by developer Zemnott. But while the idea of building attractions sounds fun, Tourist Trap turns out to be as exciting as looking for a needle in a haystack.PuppetShow: Mystery of Joyville Review
At first, PuppetShow: Mystery of Joyville's seems like many other hidden object games. Its story, about a detective being called in to find a missing child, isn't all that unusual, and its setting of a town in decline provides the locations and background that you might expect. What it does with those elements, however, is startling, disturbing, and absolutely wonderful.Becky Brogan: The Mystery of Meane Manor Review
By Erin Bell
High school student Becky Brogan has a knack for solving puzzles, and wants to be a detective some day. Her curiosity leads her to investigate a supposedly haunted mansion for a school research project, and she quickly discovers that Meane Manor does indeed have its share of sinister secrets. These secrets are yours to discover in this back-to-basics hidden object game. Becky Brogan: Mystery of Meane Manor definitely has an old-school feel to it that long-time fans of hidden object games will recognize. The scenes are extremely cluttered, and the goal is simply to hunt for all of the items on the list. Unlike most of the older games, however, there's no time limit to stress you out as you're hunting.The Stolen Diamond Ring Review
By David Stone
Sometimes, it's nice to curl up and read a good book. But when was the last time you could play a book? In The Stolen Diamond Ring, a new title in the emerging "visual novel" genre, you are really interacting with a novel rather than a game, but its premise is definitely interesting, and worth more than a quick glance.Gardenscapes Review
By Chad Sapieha
I love it when I feel game makers working hard to engage my interest. That's exactly the way I felt while playing Gardenscapes, a new hidden object game from Playrix Entertainment that sports top notch presentation, great art, and game design that kept me perpetually wanting to play just one more puzzle. The game begins with the player inheriting a mansion behind which sits a once resplendent garden. With the help of the butler, Austin, your job is to restore the garden to its former glory by purchasing a wide variety of ready-made elements, ranging from shrubs and gazebos to birdcages and mini-golf holes.The Conjurer: A Magical Mystery Review
Some hidden object games, naturally, are better than others. And now we've got The Conjurer: A Magical Mystery, a very good but not flawless "HOG" from GameHouse. When it comes to production values, personality and story, this new game delivers the goods, but falls short in other areas.Magic Academy II Review
By Erin Bell
Aspiring magic student Irene, whose strange disappearance was the subject of the first Magic Academy game, now has a mystery of her own to solve in Magic Academy II, an uneven hidden object follow-up from Nevosoft that retreads much of the same ground as the original. Irene wants to serve on the Magic Academy's council like her sister Annie, but she hasn't chosen a good time to apply. The council is in turmoil after a valuable and dangerous document goes missing - and the rumor floating around is that it was stolen by one of the other council members.
