I have to admit that match-3 games aren’t my favorite type of casual game (that would probably be adventure games) but I do appreciate it when someone comes out with a well-done specimen such as Jewel Quest III. As the third installment in the series, this game has quite a legacy to live up to, [...]

If there is one cliche that everyone can get behind, it’s the greedy mega-corporation taking over the business of the little guy. While we’ll still buy their wares, we don’t like seeing the big box stores put the little mom-and-pop shops out of business. If only there was something that we could do to stand [...]

There are some casual game types where you get a new lookalike product almost every day, until it becomes hard to distinguish between them. Not so with Puzzle Hero, one of a rather small category of hybrid puzzle-RPGs (role-playing games), in the tradition of Puzzle Quest. This sword-and-sorcery fairytale adventure adds 3D animated characters to [...]

Any guy who is now either married or engaged to be is bound to remember that fateful day, that day when it was time to utter those five little words that could mean the difference between happily ever after and back to the drawing board: Can I marry your daughter? A thousand images ran through [...]

London, August 7, 1896 – a young painter has just been murdered, his body rolled up in an expensive Persian carpet. The Scotland Yard is already on the case, but they’ve asked you, Sherlock Holmes, to help them crack this mystery. The fictional world of Sherlock Holmes is perfect for a hidden object game – [...]

“Dream it, manage it, rock it!” – the Rock Tour motto says it all. A small-time band dreams of making it big, and it’s your job to help them get there. Let’s make something clear though – you are NOT one of the band members, nor will you play any virtual instruments a la Rock [...]

The great wonders of the world make a fine theme for a hidden object game, and this is something that the Hidden Expedition series has specialized in, ever since Hidden Expedition: Titanic. The latest of these is Hidden Expedition: Amazon, which I have to admit is one of the prettiest and best sounding games of [...]

The last few months have seen some really good hidden object games appearing on the scene to really raise the bar on the genre. Mortimer Beckett and Women’s Murder Club managed to provide some really good-looking clue hunting adventures while also using all the objects found as part of their puzzles. Compared to that, The [...]

Fishdom, according to the game, is “a place where dream aquariums come true.” In this game, you match tiles together to earn money, which you use to create and maintain a virtual aquarium. The simple gameplay and colorful graphics make Fishdom an easy sell. Plus, who doesn’t like fish?

As a reviewer, I’ve played dozens of Hidden Object games, sometimes even three or four back to back, to the point where I cringe at the thought of playing another. Just when I’m just about to scratch the words “No More!” on the thin membrane of my LCD monitor, GOGii Games and Banzai Interactive throws [...]
