May have trouble with 10.5.x*****

The system requirements of this game doesn't let you know that it's only verified up through 10.4.8, but on the MumboJumbo website they are quite clear that it's only up through 10.4.8. It works for me on a Power PC running 10.4.11, but it doesn't quit properly on an Intel running 10.5.5. I have to force shutdown my system. Others have had some luck on 10.5.x, so just be aware that there might be a problem.

Airport Mania
 – 

This game is a LOT of fun!*****

I just downloaded the demo of this, and purchased after about 10 minutes of playing! This game is very well produced and presented, with cute characters, amusing sound effects - and most of all it is loads of FUN to play! It's very similar to the "I am an airport traffic controller" games popular in Japan, although a little simpler - for example in this game (at least as far as I've played it which is only the first few levels) you don't have to worry about aircraft ground collisions while taxi-ing, although on the other hand this game adds refuelling and repairs to mix it up a little.

Some may say this game is just another "Diner Dash" or "Cake Mania" with a new coat of paint - and maybe it is to some extent, but that's not a bad thing - for me those games are FUN - and this game even more so.

I also think this game would be great for kids too - maybe slightly older kids so they can get the hang of managing all the planes - but what a great tutorial for multitasking it will make!!

Uno Undercover

Great take on the classic Uno Game*****

Uno undercover has many new game cards which really enhance gameplay. It has a humorous spy story to go along with it. It is very creative for UNO. The only thing is sometimes it boils down to pure luck as opposed to strategy. Still it is much more enjoyable that playing regular Uno (esp. with additional cards) and the story line is creative in a lighthearted way.

Loved this Game!*****

A great point and click adventure game that lets you interact with the characters in the book. Fun mini puzzle which you can do when they come up or leave and go back to them. I played the first one too (which was great) but this is even better. You can even leave a book half finished if you are stuck, go to a different book and then back. It really is a lot of fun and I highly recommend it! It has a pretty tough penalty system though.

Jewel Quest Mysteries
 – 

Decent hidden object game*****

It has a good story, graphics and music. There are pretty good mini games ever couple of levels. I thought the HIDDEN SWEEPSTAKES made it more interesting. While it tries to combine 2 genres (H/0 & match 3) it hasn't perfected the combination but it is a good idea. There are better H0 games out there and better MATCH 3 out there but it is neat having some of both.

Classic gameplay*****

I still remember this game landing back in 1997 with a big bang - surprisingly it's still enjoyable in 2008, thanks to fun gameplay and quite vast array of weapons

Eschalon: Book I
 – 

A classic RPG lover's paradise*****

Fans of old-school ultima (III-VI) can rejoice with eschalon book I. I played this game for a solid 40 hours to completion, and I loved it. I played it on an older powerbook g4 (633mhz) and it was painfully slow - you'll want something a bit faster than this to really enjoy the gameplay. I hear basilick games is working on eschalon book II; can't wait until that one comes out!

Jewel Quest Mysteries
 – 

Better Than the Older Version!*****

I had purchased a jewel quest with my old PC and was excited to try this one out on my Mac. Needless to say, I am very impressed with the quality of the graphics and the sound. The hident objects are more and more difficult to find as the game moves on. I really add enjoy the addition of the gold coins!

Great Game*****

Well worth the money! Similar to the Diner Dash series, it offers challenge and interest with each level. I bought it a week ago and am on level 40 of 60 levels. Great graphics too.

Fun!*****

This is a very fun and challenging game. It is refreshing to find a game that was released in 2008 that does not contain violence and nudity.

My Tribe
 – 

Well worth the money*****

An intelligent, well designed game with plenty of replay value. With billions of islands to choose from and travel to as your tribe grows and prospers as they solves mysteries and develops potions there is plenty to do. The ability to travel to different islands and to landscape them as well as help your tribe to prosper and earn trophies is excellent. The game will continue to run while it is off, or you can pause it to enjoy everything yourself. If you might like it, try it, you will!

My Tribe
 – 

Good gameplay*****

My Tribe has many different islands to explore, with plenty of variety and challenges. There are trophies to unlock and the game plays out even when not playing it, which can be considered a pro or a con. Many people don't like a game that keeps playing when they are not on it. IT is quite similar to VIRTUAL VILLAGERS, so if you liked that you will definitely like MY TRIBE. YOU can choose from literally billions of islands, each with a different layout and 3 sets of mysteries to choose. In that way it is different from VVillagers. It all comes down to if you are a fan of REALTIME play or not.
