Cave Quest 2 Collector's Edition
 – 

A bit different and quit challenging

Nice match game with challenging blockades. Good for a lot of hours of fun. Addictive, hard to stop playing. Nice that it has a sort of story throughout.

New Yankee 12: Karma Tales Collector's Edition
 – 

Keep these coming!!!

As all previous New Yankee games : good, challenging and addictive. Doesn't bore me, even after 11 previous versions. I always go for the collector's edition as there are always bonus levels included, but the price difference is sometimes a bit steep...

The Whispered World Special Edition
 – 

Puzzles not very logical, frustrating game

This is a game where you have to look up the walkthrough very quickly as the puzzles are not logical in the least. It gets to be very frustrating having to repeat all your steps to find some small hole somewhere where something is hidden e.g. Shame of the money spent...

Travel Mosaics 16: Glorious Budapest
 – 

Good, but more challenging would be nice.

This is a good version of Travel Mosaics, though for the experienced player the grids are not challenging enough. Nice to pass the time when you have 5 or 10 minutes to spare though.

Clutter 12: It's About Time
 – 

As always : addictive as hell!

Even though it is a repaet and collection of earier released versions, it stays addictive and certainly challenging. There are levels where, no matter what I tried I could not finish in time!

Twisted Lands 3: Origin
 – 

More of the same...

I wish people who brought out games would have a look at the earlier chapters before starting on a new one so that they don't rehash too much. This certainly did NOT happen here and it is more of the same... It's a pity, could have been good

New Yankee 11: Battle For The Bride Collector's Edition
 – 

Good as ever

I like time management, it's no secret and this is one of my favourites! Good levels, good level of difficulty, sometimes I wished for a bit more of a challenge, but maybe that's due to my experience with these kind of games. Maybe they should install a super expert level!

Viking Heroes III Collector's Edition
 – 

Good as always

Good as always but could be more challenging on expert level. There are only a few levels where I had to play the level more than 10 times before I finished in time. Sometimes too easy. But certainly very good additions as to road blocks to overcome. Congratulations & keeop them coming!

Fairytale Griddlers Red Riding Hood Secret
 – 

Entertaining & challenging griddler

Good marks for this one. Now & then I get a "mistake" when there is none, but am not user if this is due to my mouse or the game itself. It tends to somentimes interpret a right click as a left click or the other way around.
Differs from other griddlers in the fact that here the puzzles are bigger and get more challenging much quicker, which is ideal for the more experienced player!

Twisted Lands 2: Insomniac Collector's Edition
 – 

Better than volume 1 but a lot of rehashing from volume 1 and even within the game itself.

Started this game having bought vol 1,2 and 3 in 1 go and having played vol 1 and found it to be absolutely dreadful, so my expectations were VERY low. This 2nd volume started promising, MUCH better than vol. 1 but got bad again before I was halfway through the game. A lot of copying from vol 1 took place and even within the game itself puzzles are copied. I can only assume there was some time pressure in making this game or the makers got lazy in the middle of creating this game.
I DO hope the redemption of the designers will follow in volume 3!

Twisted Lands: Shadow Town Collector's Edition
 – 

Boring game without direction

I played the whole game because I paid for it. The Hidden Object scenes were good, but that's about all. There is no puzzle element to the game apart from finding an object in location A and having to go all the way forward or back to location G or Z or whatever to use it there and then to go through all locations you've been to to look for another object or hidden object scene. There is also NO story to the game or at least none that I could make out. The bonus chapter is a bit better, but this should be a bonus to a good game! There is no map, so getting around is tedious. I have bought the second and third game in this series together with the first so I'm hoping for improvement in the next chapters. Fingers crossed!

Viking Heroes II Collector's Edition
 – 

I eat up these games - addicted for life

I know evey one of these games are essentially the same, but they are SO addictive. I enjoyed every one up to now. The only remark I have is : there should be an ever more difficult level setting for really experienced players. Keep these games coming. You have a fan for life in me!

New Yankee in Pharaoh's Court 6
 – 

Time management game as it should be : excellent!

This is one of my favourite series in time management games. Challenging, nice graphics, funny characters, nice & enough twists, enough variety in the different levels, in short : PERFECT!
Please keep these games coming.

Christmas Griddlers Journey To Santa
 – 

Entertaining enough but could be more challenging

As far as griddlers go, this is good enough, but on the easy side.
There is also the enoying thing, that when you have completed a row or column, the remaining empty squares on that row or column have to be crossed out manually. I much prefer this to be done automatically as this does not require any more puzzling.
Entertaining enough, certainly for the price.

Clutter X: Beyond Extreme
 – 

Less entertaining than the other Clutter games

I have played every one of the Clutter games and find this one to be the least entertaining. Even though there are various categories they are all very much alike. A bit more variety in object, pictures, geometrical shapes and colours would make this game more enjoyable.

New Yankee 7: Deer Hunters
 – 

Very addictive

Very addictive! Fun graphics and no glitches. I have played New Yankee 8 and 9 before playing 7, but it was still up to date. Expert level is just right. Need to play certain levels several times to get gold level, but that's just what's fun about these kinds of games. It has to be a challenge! Also every level is different, no rehashing of things already done. I enjoyed this game very much. Certainly worth it's money.

The Inner World
 – 

Very nice graphics and gameworld but bit tedious at times

I bought this game thinking it would be a kind of tiny bang story. It starts out this way, but gets rather tedious after a while. You end up running around from one point to the next or the previous without gaining any game momentum. I stopped playing the game halfway through.

New Yankee 9: The Evil Spellbook Collector's Edition
 – 

Very worthy sequel!

I enjoyed this time management game very much. The gameplay is quite long. The only thing that bothered me is that you cannot see on the map how many stars you got on the intermediate levels. All normal levels have a gold symbol when you get 3 stars. The intermediate levels only indicate how many times you played them when you hover over them and the time you took and the points you got, but do not mention if this is a gold achievement or not. This is only indicated at the end of playing each of these games. Otherwise I have no qualms and rate this game very highly.

Showing Tonight - Mindhunters Incident
 – 

Enjoyable game

The story and the different settings of this game are entertaining. The only puzzles that I found less fascinating were the ones where you have to turn found objects 3 dimensionally so they fit in an empty slot. I didn't mind this at first, but this puzzle is repeated more than 10 times! Sometimes also very difficult to find certain things as you have to click on the exact millimeter where they are located. More variation would have made this an excellent game opposed to an ok one.

New Yankee 8: Journey of Odysseus
 – 

Perfect alternative for Viking Brothers

I used to have to wait endlessly for a sequel of Viking Brothers to come out or Rescue Team for that matter, but I've found this perfect alternative! Equally challenging and as soon as I'd finished it I bought New Yankee 9! The only problem is, that if you choose certain bonuses, they hinder you to get all your stars. E.g. if you have to kill a certain number of skeletons and you've chosen the bonus for them to move slower, you can never get the required amount even if you kill every one that appears, because there just don't appear enough at the slower speed. You cannot reverse your choices, so that is a shame. For the rest perfect time management game.
