Sometimes a game comes along that really catches you off guard. I wasn't expecting this to be the caliber that it is. I was expecting something simple, and linear. This is far from simple and linear!
After just a few minutes into the game I found it stunning. It may have sprites and static imagery, but its done in a style and fluid movement system that makes it slick and awesome.
The world is massive, I'm barely near the end of what seems to be an endless world. I was half expecting a few areas, some bosses, and be done with it. However I just got into a new section, and now there are branches out everywhere, going to even larger and larger sections. It has these 'fast travel turtles', but I've only found one! So how big is this place?!
The music and sound are smooth and clean. Mesmerizing music that tends to change the further you go into different areas. Its not digitized crud that makes your ears bleed after two minutes. The sound effects are nice, and plentiful. Every different thing in the world has their own unique sounds.
Wanted to mention some other specifics for those interested to know:
- This game does NOT screw up everything else you are running when it changes resolutions! It is built right to handle resolution changes gracefully, which is a HUGE plus to me (cause I have countless apps and windows open all the time).
- The in-game interface is so-so. Klunky in the food and item interface where you have to keep 'paging' through things, instead of simply scroll. However it works for the most part, just a little clumsy. The actual controls of the character are done very well, with different methods for different types of people. The 'singing' pop-menu works wonderfully with the pace of the game too.
- My MacBook Pro is an older 2.4 ghz intel non-unibody model. Has the nvidia 8600M gpu. Runs the game perfectly fluid in widescreen with many other apps running in the background. Running smooth on a laptop makes this game great for trips or even on the side.
I highly recommend this game to all ages, and all types of people. I'm a hard core gamer at heart, but I absolutely enjoy this game.

Echoes of the past : Royal House of Stone
Great game! I particularly liked the way that returning to a room that you thought you'd finished with generated more puzzles to help you to proceed. Also the humour involved in finding objects where sometimes you had to discover combinations of objects which then generated animations to reveal them.
This game was ok when it worked but I moved to a new mac and now when I try to activate my game it says its no longer valid. How can a paying customer of a legit purchased game play when you receive a notice like this? If you are someone who likes to make sure a game always works when you re-install it without an expiration or error notice this game is not for you.
Medieval Battlefields is a turn-based strategy / tactical game that takes you back to medieval Europe.

My review to AquaPark
Pretty good gameplay, the unlockable objects for your aquapark make you want to play it more. Nice levels, good colorful graphics, frusterating at times, but overall, I give it 4/5. I hope no one tries to act smart and insult my review in the comments, its my review, not yours.
Graphics are colorful without being too juvenile or too avant-garde. The gameplay is easy for adults to play without developing carpal tunnel syndrome as opposed to other platformers that require the visual acuity and/or quick reflexes of an 10 year old. I also liked the British accents as well.
This game is good fun, and stunningly beautiful for those who like Oriental (particularly Chinese) things. We're told "to be continued" at the end. Let's hope the next installment is out soon.
The plot line is interesting, but the hidden objects are easy to find. On top of that, the game is extremely short. I finished the game while playing the demo. There isn't much replay value either.
I purchased Scrabble Plus after using the demo. The installation has not worked after multiple attempts. Online support notes a PREFERENCES bug that was not communicated before purchase. BUYER BEWARE.
Use your investigative hat in Real Detectives - Murder in Miami , and solve a series of unexplained deaths.
