Kate Reed, the prosaically named novelist/heroine of the House of 1000 Doors series, has become a "house hunter." Not that I blame her, as the Alawar Five-BN team's latest installment, House of 1000 Doors: The Palm of Zoroaster, is a metaphysical treat for players. The game itself functions like a crystal ball of hidden-object tropes, giving us a glimpse into the past by employing the founding conventions of the genre, yet reminding us of how sophisticated we've become by fully realizing those conventions.
The village of Rosemount has a problem. For years, it's been beset by a vile witch with an unhealthy liking for cold and snow. Worse yet, it's burdened with a series of foolish individuals who against all logic, seem bent on helping said witch send the village back to the ice age. In Living Legends: Ice Rose, you play a young woman determined to save her gullible beau from becoming the latest of this icy enchantress's willing thralls.
You know you're getting old when a decade you lived through gets labeled as retro. For me, it was the 1980s, placed at the end of a list of decades stretching back to 1950s in Entertainment Games' Retro World, and I found myself in oddly pleasant company as I glanced over the game's references to the rerun favorites of my youth. I suppose that places me at the tail end of the studio's target audience, but with such a wealth of entertainment and variety waiting beyond every click, I can't help but think that younger audiences may find much to love amid the relentless nostalgia as well.
JetDogs Studios is set to offer fans a new mystery to solve in its upcoming Alchemy Mysteries: Prague Legends, a hidden object game that follows a young woman named Eva. Eva's an orphan, who learns of her family's history in Prague after inheriting an ancient mansion from a distant relative. This "mansion inheritance" story is nothing new to the hidden object genre, but the story in Alchemy Mysteries: Prague Legends is set to go much deeper than that, as Eva will find love in a shopkeeper's grandson, and will be tested by the ghosts in the deserted home.

Question - why are video game heroes always the same kinds of people? They're always commandos, cops, FBI agents, detectives, mercenaries or reporters, which for the most part, limits what we can do as them. I for one am always looking for the chance to step into the shoes of a different kind of hero, and Silent Nights: The Pianist promised to let me do just that. Unfortunately, after making that promise, it more or less failed to deliver.
Special Enquiry Detail: Engaged to Kill is the sequel to the Hand that Feeds, and it offers us another chance to step into the shoes of New York City detectives Lamonte and Turino as they race to solve a series of murders by a serial killer.

After being assigned to the case, you'll retrace the killer's steps and investigate cases both past and present in an effort to track down the serial killer and stop him before he can claim the life of another young bride.
