This is one of the best puzzle games I've ever played. Good variety of types of puzzles, and a good progression of difficulty as the game progresses.
The first time I played it, I was hooked. The demo wasn't enough! Once I had purchased the game, I actually played it for three and a half hours straight-until I got stuck on a puzzle and realized it was late.
The fact that you can go back and re-play any of the puzzles makes it a keeper; they continue to provide me with hours of brain-twisters even after finishing the game narrative.
I had Scrabble for my old system and played it a lot as a break or while waiting for revisions. With OSX, I got the "Deluxe" version on CD from another company and HATED it! You had to have the CD in and it took over your screen and was too flashy.
The dictionary and hint functions in this version are easy to use, intuitive and much better (and more up to date) than the high priced verson from elsewhere.
If you're looking for a flashy game with lots of (useless) bells and whistles this may not be for you. But if you're interested in just enjoying a basic game of Scrabble this is the answer.
This version is perfect for me. I play against the computer so networking doesn't interest me. I like being able to pause it, do something else and come back to play on the next break. I've already gotten well more than my money's worth in enjoyment.
I did this backwards, as I purchased Ravenhearst first and then worked my way backwards through the Mystery Case Files. For better or worse, this one is my favorite.
I loved the storyline and the whole otherworldly atmosphere of the game. The hand-drawn puzzles were beautiful and in keeping with the mood. The door puzzles were challenging,but not overly frustrating, and a lot of fun.
The game was visually stunning and the music and eerie voice urging me on were perfect accompaniments to an already engrossing experience.
If you like searching games and appreciate a good puzzle wrapped in a mystery, this is the game for you.
I felt quite alone in that place of "Wish". On a mission to find my husband and break the spell. Wondering just how many jewels there were...was I finding them all. The Music Room has taught me how to play a bit on the piano. The graphics are glorious. So far I have played this game 5 times to try to get all the jewels and remember the sequences at the stairway. The puzzles are great. In all...you have a winner with Dream Chronicles.
I like hide and seek games but tend to get bored with all the similar ones out there. This game has more to offer. It has enough hide and seek to keep you happy, plus a variety of other puzzles to mix it up and keep it interesting. One of the better puzzle games recently out. There is even a strategy guide online for those who get stuck.
This version improves upon the original-the undo feature is really great! The new "tools" the professor has to use really make the puzzle solving even more intriguing. If you like puzzles, this is the one!
What a fantastic game, the puzzles are great and very stimulating I am 68 and yes I managed to get to the end but what fun I just could hnot stop going back and trying over and over wntil I completed every puzzle, I was determined not to pass on any of the games, brain teasers everything. Sorry I enjoyed this sooo much just hope I can find something 1/2 as good to keep me occupied. Boy was this great or what. You may have guessed this was the first game I have really got into that I just could not put down, Thanks everyone who helped make it when is the next one coming??????
I enjoy puzzle games with a bit of a plot, and I'm not sure what I was expecting when I downloaded the Demo, but I was quite impressed with it right off the bat. The game itself doesn't explain much about the "plot" but the puzzles more than make up for it. They are puzzles of differing levels and variations from around the world. Most of them you have probably encountered in one form or another usually in a stretch your mind setting at school.
The refreshing thing about this game is that it makes no bones about being a puzzle game. The first thing you do is click on a desk and the the puzzles are off and running. The plot is light and begins to get intriguing around the third "chapter" (set of puzzles) or so.
I downloaded the demo and played for nearly three hours after the demo expired. I am only about half way through. Definitely worth it.
Wish there were more pretty puzzles like this out there (but the ones I do have all came from here, so thanks Mac Game Store!). Enjoy!
I love puzzles and this game had me hooked right from the start.Unlike other puzzle games I have tried, this had a good selection of puzzles, from matching 3 to solving mysteries!
This would also be a good game for parents to play with children - has a lot of educational possibilities - number, matching, literacy, cause and effect etc.
Overall Ithoroughly enjoyed it, and can't wait to find out why I needed to learn the code on the last page!
If you want a Roman tactical game but you don't have the time to devote to the bigger games like Age of Empires or Rome Total War, then Legion Arena is right up your alley.
Featuring quick (I think 10 minutes was my longest fight) battles, units that improve over time, and true army development and customization this game does a lot in a limited amount of space.
The game isn't very flashy, or very detailed, but it gets the point across nicely. Good for the general on the go, who doesn't have the hours he wants to spend runing an entire empire.
Kept me busy for hours.......still stuck on one puzzle. Puzzles range from easy to difficult. Just as you think they are a breeze a difficult one comes along that can stump you. esp. in the strategy mode.
Well the game is fun, for the 15 minutes I can play it, and then it crashes, and even when I reinstall it, it crashes over and over. And there is absolutely nowhere to turn to for help, so in other words, its just not a good idea to buy it due to lack of customer support.
Hidden object games are fun, challenging and relaxing, which suits me to a tee. The graphics are beautiful, the music pleasant and the storyliine cute in this game. I've played it over and over to beat my previous scores. It's just something to get lost in for awhile. Every age can play this as it tests your powers of observation and memory. Most fun on a big screen Mac.
This game is fun, challenging and never gets boring. Yes, there are objects to find in every level, but they change, and the beautiful graphics, the ambient sounds and the music are relaxing and take you away from life's everyday worries for a few hours. Plus, once you complete the levels, you can play the Blitz mode forever, improving on your score again and again. As far as hidden object games go, this rates tops!
Unity is the be all and end all of indie game development on the Mac. No other environment delivers the ease of use, powerful tools, and slick interface for designing truly amazing games. The graphical capabilities are awe inspiring and the programming has been greatly simplified without any loss in raw power or control over your game. If you've been thinking about jumping into game development, look no further than Unity.
The game itself is fun and following the map is exciting - but it's a bust at the end because it stops in the middle of the plot and gives you a message to look for a future game to continue the story - so you have to buy two games in order to follow one storyline! That feels like cheating to me on the part of the game maker. I was very disappointed, and sorry I paid money to play it wihtout an ending.
Age of Empires III was a great game, good graphics, awesome sound. The graphics were very good but didn't have the "wow factor" like some games graphics. The sound was amazing from music to fighting to birds, the cannons sound very realistic. The reason i gave the overall rating an average was because the game should have been released in its own series. Many fans I know of Age of Empires I and II were disappointed with this game because the classic medeval warfare has been completely taken out, except maybe a few units that are in the first ages and are not at all primary units. If you loved Age of Empires one or two because of the great melee battles prepare to be disappointed. Some changes in economy were also made. villagers no longer have to drop off resources at a Town Center or lumbercamp etc. the resources just instantly go into your spending making the games resouces much like Rise of Nations for those who own that game. CONCLUSION. A great game with good graphics and sound but fans of previous Age of Empires will most likely be disappointed.
Halo is an excellant game. have all graphic settings maxed on my intel iMac with 8x sampling! Campaign is excellant for begineers on easy difficulty to veterans on legendary. Multiplayer is insane
