Spirit Walkers: Curse of the Cypress Witch is a unique adventure style game from the makers of “Royal Trouble” and is something quite different from the usual hidden object games. The storyline might appear familiar at first, but as you play, the game actually takes a different and unique angle, not so much “demons” as we’re used to in most of the latest games, but more of an American Indian spiritual theme: you have to go between two worlds which is quite intriguing. If you don’t like a long story then you may not like this as there is a lot of dialogue.

Rating Description
out of 10 How the ratings are calculated?
9.0 GRAPHICS
The graphics are decent, actually they’re quite good.
7.5 SOUNDS & MUSIC
Music is ok, not annoying.
8.5 GAMEPLAY
The game is somewhat short (you can finish it in less than 3 hours), but the puzzles are nice. Also it’s great that you can use some of the objects you have in your inventory in the other rooms.
8.0 PRESENTATION & VALUE
Overall a good game, good story line, good graphics, but probably you won’t play it again after you’ll finish it.

Deep Blue Sea 2

June - 11 - 2010 Match-3 GAME
 

Rating Description
out of 10 How the ratings are calculated?
10.0 GRAPHICS
This game looks simply amazing! The fish are very funny, and smile when you hover on them, the animations are awesome. The hidden object scenes are cartoonish and good-looking too!
10.0 SOUNDS & MUSIC
The music is just great, and the sounds are pretty good as well.
9.0 GAMEPLAY
It’s a new match-3 game, with a few twists: there are a lot of upgrades, frozen tiles, and now you can rotate the board! It’s very good and quite addicting. The hidden object minigames are a bit hard though (and this makes the game a bit less enjoyable), although there is a hint system.
8.5 PRESENTATION & VALUE
An awesome game, addicting and funny, great graphics and music, so you’ll definitely love it. The only bad thing about it is the fact that the hidden object mini-games are a bit too hard.

The Inquisitor

June - 4 - 2010 Hidden Object GAME
 

Rating Description
out of 10 How the ratings are calculated?
6.0 GRAPHICS
It doesn’t look great, in fact it does look a bit too CG. Also, everything seems to have the same color – the objets in the scenes are “blending” too much into the environment, and this makes spotting the object very difficult.
7.0 SOUNDS & MUSIC
Nothing great here, although the music gets a bit repetitive if you play it long enough.
5.0 GAMEPLAY
Just like any other hidden object game, but the objects are much harder to find (which is very bad), not to mention that some mini-games (like spot the difference) are way harder.
3.0 PRESENTATION & VALUE
Overall a pretty bad game, although the story looks interesting, the game is much too difficult to keep you playing.

Faded Reality

Rating Description
out of 10 How the ratings are calculated?
7.5 GRAPHICS
The graphics don’t look bad and the small animations are a nice touch. The resolution is a bit small though (800×600).
7.0 SOUNDS & MUSIC
Music is ok, not great but not too bad either.
8.0 GAMEPLAY
A typical hidden object with some twists: you have to find letters which will complete some words, and then will reveal other objects. Not that great, it gets boring fast.
6.5 PRESENTATION & VALUE
A mediocre game, although the story and graphics are nice. But there are so many much better ones out there.

Antique Road Trip USA

June - 1 - 2010 Hidden Object GAME
 

Rating Description
out of 10 How the ratings are calculated?
9.5 GRAPHICS
The scenes are nice, the objects are very nice and crisp.
7.0 SOUNDS & MUSIC
Music is ok, although the sound for when you find an object is used in so many other games and is a bit annoying.
8.0 GAMEPLAY
Just another hidden object game with a few mini-games. You can also make money within the game and use it to buy various objects for your house, like furniture, wallpaper, etc, which makes things a bit more interesting, but still not enough to make it original.
7.0 PRESENTATION & VALUE
Although the graphics are good, it’s just a typical hidden-object game and it doesn’t really stand out.

10.0 GRAPHICS
Amazing! Simply amazing! The scenes look great, the characters design is perfect!
7.0 SOUNDS & MUSIC
Music is ok, not annoying but not something you can remember either. Nothing special about voice acting either.
8.0 GAMEPLAY
It’s a typical hidden object game, you need to solve a murder case. The fact that it doesn’t have a timer is a good thing (the cursor freezes literally if you click randomly several times in a row). But there isn’t anything special about it.
7.5 PRESENTATION & VALUE
Amazing graphics, great story, good game. The objects are easy to find, so this is also a plus. But something doesn’t let you love this game, even though it has great graphics – maybe because the dialogues are too long, or maybe because it’s too basic – hard to tell exactly.

This game looks great. Coco, the monkey is funny but I think in some way Ranch Rush 1 was looking even better.
8.0 SOUNDS & MUSIC
Nice themed music and overall good sound effects.
9.0 GAMEPLAY
This is a very typical time management game and it’s quite addicting. The new fishing mini-game is a nice touch.
9.0 PRESENTATION & VALUE
Overall, nice graphics, good game. But I still think that the original Ranch Rush was better, I’m not sure why.

The graphics are amazing and everything looks really really great! You can’t expect better than this.
9.0 SOUNDS & MUSIC
The music is good and voice acting is great too, but not perfect.
9.0 GAMEPLAY
If you like sim games, then you’ll definitely like this one. A lot of characters and artifacts to be discovered and analyzed, you can’t get bored.
8.5 PRESENTATION & VALUE
This is more than a regular game, the puzzle mini-games are amazing (although not easy at all), the gameplay is really great and the graphics are outstanding. It’s a bit short though.

9.5 GRAPHICS
The graphics and the animations are amazing, just as the rest of the Farm Frenzy series, but it’s not much new.
8.0 SOUNDS & MUSIC
Pretty good, although the music can get boring after a while.
9.0 GAMEPLAY
Very addictive as usual, but if you have played the other Farm Frenzy games, then you can get bored quick with this one.
4.0 PRESENTATION & VALUE
This is more of an expansion pack rather than a full game. Worth to buy it if you didn’t played the other Farm Frenzy 3 games.
