Review: Immortal Lovers

This game sounded interesting when I read the synopsis, but after playing the first screen and not being able to find one item even though I used the hint button at least 10 times I turned it off.

Not to mention, the tutorial is a joke. It points to the menu and says "this is the menu" Points to the information icon, "this is where you get information." Gee, thanks Sherlock, I had no idea! **rolling my eyes**

I usually give games a good go before I quit on them or come to the forum for help. But this game is just beyond me. The designers of the game need to go back to school or at least play what they made! sheesh!

Review Echoes of the Past: The Castle of Shadows



I thought this game was one of the best I've played so far. This is the second games in this series. I played the first one and enjoyed it, but this one I enjoyed SO much more.

The graphics were great. Voice overs not so much, but since those are only from cut scenes they are bearable.

The puzzles were somewhat challenging but not to the point where I had to find a cheat to get through them. In fact, I rarely used a walkthrough until the end of the game (because I played the advanced mode and missed an object or two.

It gets a big

Exorcist Review

I finished playing this game last night and it was just ok. The hidden object scenes were challenging as the items can be in several spots.

This hints were not very useful at times, which was frustrating when having to find objects called something I had never heard of before.

The puzzles were not challenging at all.

The storyline was just ok.

The ending was abrupt to me. Not sure if it was because I was being distracted by my 6 year old or if it was really just that way.

I'd give it 1/2 out of 5 Which translates to "meh" me my book.

Something New....

A few months ago I stumbled upon Big Fish Games after being interested in a game Pogo had for DL but I didn't want to pay the $20 to get it. So I searched the net to see if I could find a deal or coupon code and after pressing a few links I found BFG and the game I wanted for only 6.99! I also DLed a few other games that I found free codes for at retailmenot.com

I've become pretty addicted to their games. My favorite so far are Hidden Object and/or Adventure games - mainly because they have a story line. The rest of the games they offer are very similar to games I can play on Pogo.

I've been toying with the idea of reviewing some of the games I've played. Thankfully they let you play games for one hour before you buy them. I've come across some real duds and some real stellar games that I will probably play again later on!

Anyway, keep tuned for reviews and any special coupon codes that I come across.
