Westward III: Gold Rush Review
Northern California may not be in the throes of any present gold rushes, but circa the mid-1800s, nugget fever was in full swing. It's a state of mind cheerfully captured in Westward III, a satisfying hybrid of real-time strategy game and life simulator which sends three all-new pioneers scurrying off to tame the wild frontier. A welcome, if predictable, step forward for the franchise, it quickly provides ample reason for series vets and newcomers alike to hop back in the saddle and hit the trail.Liong: The Lost Amulets Review
Successfully blending mah jong with Zuma and bingo, offbeat puzzler Liong: The Dragon Dance was nothing if not ambitious when it launched several months back. Sequel Liong: The Lost Amulets takes an equally innovative approach, mixing hidden object play with typical tile-matching challenges, albeit not always to best effect.MonsterQuest Review
If you loved reading those 4th grade science pamphlets about the inventor of the microscope and the discovery of penicillin, you'll find the History Channel's Monster Quest a refreshing change from a standard hidden object game. If you like stories, you'll like the fact that every object means something. If you prefer something more visually exciting than searching for muddy footprints in a marsh, you'll find it boring. Former science fair enthusiasts of any age will like the game a lot.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.Dracula: Origin Review
So-called "large file games," or titles whose massive file sizes require way longer to download and install (and consume more space) than the average desktop alternative, are a singular oddity in casual gaming. That's because, as with Dracula: Origin, released six months ago on PC CD-ROM, they're actually traditional desktop diversions masquerading as digital downloads. Happily, in this case, the game - a haunting adventure that excels for its superb storytelling and cinematic presentation - translates just as well to this new, albeit unlikely format.Lost in Reefs Review
In the short history of create-your-own-world match-3 games, Lost in Reefs follows the same gameplay mechanics where you gather enough supplies during the actual puzzle games in order to purchase buildings reconstructing a once-famous dragon city. The question is: what does this game offer more for seasoned players of the genre?The Hidden Prophecies of Nostradamus Review
The Hidden Prophecies of Nostradamus from Cat's Eye Games mixes a fairly easy classic Hidden Object Game with a variety of 8 types of mini-games, some very challenging. A limited number of SKIP options means every player will have to complete at least some of the mini-games to complete the game. Some players will enjoy the variety—others will find the extreme variation in difficulty frustrating.Adventure Chronicles: The Search For Lost Treasure Review
Adventure Chronicles: The Search for Lost Treasure is the sequel to Gogii Games' popular hidden object game Escape the Museum. This time, Susan travels to five different regions around the world in search of archaeological treasures. Well-integrated inventory puzzles, polished production values, and a good hint system all add to the pleasures of this untimed game. In Escape the Museum, Susan and her daughter were trapped in the City Museum during an earthquake. This time, Susan goes out in the field as she follows clues in a mysterious journal to find hidden treasures from everyone from Blackbeard to Napoleon.
