While this game has some of the best graphics and music in the TM/Strategy genre, it suffers from a thin story line, clumsy and slow game mechanics, and repetitive gameplay.
The graphics—both map and scene—are detailed and dimensional. The overall look is medieval, but the characters are vampire goth. There's not much animation except for a looped background character in each scene. The NPCs with whom you interact (and who give you your quests) don't move or lip synch.
You have two energy levels to keep up—vigor and mana—plus money to earn. Vigor and mana are increased either by eating or resting. Money is earned through a series of jobs which you can upgrade for higher wages as you learn new skills. You're also awarded a choice of rewards at the completion of each quest.
The quests include finding items on the map, hidden object scenes, running errands for the populace, learning new skills and spells, and upgrading your clothing, steed, and home. This entails traveling from place to place on the map, one drawback to this game, as this travel time interrupts the flow of gameplay.
This has potential to be an enthralling game, but needs improvement in the areas of game mechanics and gameplay, in my opinion.
Jack Orlando is the story of a scruffy but shrewd private investigator, who becomes involuntarily becomes tangled up in a mysterious case of murder.

Great Game
I love this game, however for the past month or so I have been unable to open it. I have tried deleting and reinstalling but it doesn't open at all. Worth the money, in hopes that it will one day work again.
Set in an alternative universe where the fabric of time must be protected, Defenders of Time is a fast-paced tower defense game for up to eight players.
This is a great sequel to the first game. One of the few time management games that actually challenges me. Fast paced. You must use your wits to get expert scores. Great fun.
This pack combines the contents of the Industrial Revolution Pack and the Upgrade Pack, originally part of the Premium and Ultimate Songbird Editions of BioShock Infinite.

Just another Bejeweled
Just another Bejeweled and I'm wondering how it got into the Top 2. Was it just because it was the price for Mac Game Store 3 BETA?
Great game with extrodinary imagination and beautify scene (somehow), but the internal logic isn't so strong that sometimes it takes a longer time to get some clues than expected. Could be improved.
First time I have been tempted to try this series. Good game, puzzles reasonable. Dog cute and useful. Storyline unsurprising at end but the ability to freeze/burn things very useful.
