Royal Envoy Collector's Edition
 – 

Awesome game!

I must've played this game from start to finish in basic and expert mode with the bonus challenges also at least 3 full times. It's great and challenging and addictive. It requires careful planning to beat the clock, and strategy is rewarded. if you're having trouble with a level, every single level has the walkthru that you can click on to give yourself the hints to help you beat the clock and get a gold star.

the collector's edition includes 30 extra levels - bonus challenges, which are fun too but not part of the story.

great game. highly recommended.

Youda Farmer 2: Save the Village
 – 

A million times better than the original youda farmer

The original game was virtually unplayable, with the time running out on all the orders way way way too fast. it was almost impossible to progress, and totally frustrating. Now that this version is out, I'll never play the old version again.

The new version (for less than ten bucks! great!) is fantastic. it has the same style, but you don't continually fail. it's still challenging to get gold, and it's unbelievably busy with lots of tasks for each level, but it's exciting. the only think I don't like is that there's no chance to enjoy a certain stage...it's always build build build, so every level becomes more complex, and in every level you're building yet another attachment or farm which means then subsequent level will yet again be more complex. it would be nice to have a few levels to adjust to all the new buildings and just do more orders without worrying about building more. but it's still fun and exciting and I've completed about 3/4s of all the levels already.

Elythril: The Elf Treasure
 – 

A Favorite

It is a match game but you have to follow paths. Fun, not too hard but not easy either. Pretty backgrounds. This isn't for the high power game playes, but good entertainment for someone who just likes a puzzle. Wish it was longer.

Royal Trouble
 – 

Short but sweet

Colorful, humorous, bright, cheerful little game. A nice change from all the dark, ominous, gory games we have been seeing. Artwork is charming, the antagonists romp through the castle is fun but over too soon. Still and all, this little adventure deserves 4 stars for delightful.

The Otherside: Realm of Eons
 – 

Extraordinary artwork but

Artwork 5 stars, game performance 1 star. I concur with Nicole. I have a 24" iMac with 4 GB memory running OS 10.6.5. Lag time between scenes is slow enough to make one think the game has frozen. Not the case, but that does not make for a very pleasant gaming experience. Also agree - could be a good game.

Tasty Planet - Back for Seconds
 – 

Boring

Not worth your time. I lasted 10 mins of dragging my mouse across the screen to eat items.

Rail Cargo Simulator
 – 

Horrible game

Just an awful game. basically a puzzle game, poorly done, with a horrible UI that is frustrating at best.

The game claims "100 missions" - well, it's 10 track arrangements, each with 10 missions, you have to get through the missions in order. the first 10 missions are on the first track, the first 4 missions were exactly the same, then it switched it up a bit with a combination of cars that had to go on different tracks. by the 7th mission I was so bored of the track layout I wanted to quit, but kept on so i could see the next location.

The next location was 4 tracks instead of 3, and I ran into a glitch which prevented me from completing the level.

$20 wasted.

Heavyweight Transport Simulator
 – 

Poor & Cheap

Poorly built, no real attempt at building a decent quality game, graphics leave poor even for a cheap game, game play slow & boring.

Missions pointless little effort made into making it challenging.

Some parts are not even translated into English such as the Map which remains in german and doesn't show you where you are.

Controls patchy at best, breaking seems to do nothing unless you use hand break.

Sid Meier's Civilization V
 – 

What a disappointment. Don't waste your money.

I have every Civ game, but when I received this a week ago, I was at first disappointed that you can't alter maps, you can't even edit your maps or create your own. For me, that was one of the best variants of this game: to give a gamer the ability to alter terrain and even change the colours of the participating nations. I will never again purchase another Civ game. I also did not enjoy the programmers returning to using 20 or so settlers or soldiers when only one is created. I could not find any options to turn this option off; it was tried in one of the other civ games and I did not like it then and I don't appreciate it now.

If the programmers had only given the gamer the same editing qualities, I would have rated this game at least one more star. As for me, I'm back on Civ 4 again. The final assessment is that the gamers failed to finish the game and in not doing so, completely ruined the Civ interface Mac gamers have expected from the Civ games. Shame on you!

Wanted it to be great

I really wanted this to be great. However, at this point it is still pretty buggy. It frequently sticks and you can't shoot or move, then it will skip. Not ready to be sold. Please fix the bugs. I love Luxor and would love to have it on my Mac.

Amnesia: The Dark Descent
 – 

Amazing!

You WILL get scared if you play this alone in the night. It gave me chills and it felt like what happened to Daniel, happened to me. A very amazing experience.

Twisted Lands: Shadow Town Collector's Edition
 – 

cool game

Wow, I was not expecting the ending. Great hidden object game. There is a lot of back and forth movement to use the items that are collected. That was annoying at times, but overall the game was great.

Tasty Planet - Back for Seconds
 – 

better then the original

tasty planet is one of my old time favorite games. The sequel is awesome. All new items to gobble up as you travel through the past and future. There is more of a variety of objects then the first game (bugs, raisins, bones, rice, turtles etc . . .)

Big Bang Board Games
 – 

Good.... but....

I enjoy the graphics, the music, the AI... but if your friend is at your place and you want to play, you can't. So only 2 stars because I thought it was an important option.

Strange Cases: The Tarot Card Mystery
 – 

Enjoyable HOG

This story line is an X File type case. Good graphics. Each scene has a nice bit of movement such as butterflies or dust particles dancing in the light. Music was appropriate to each scene's mood. Every mini puzzle was different. This game has a welcome linear flow lacking in some puzzle/hidden object games. Not too hard, but not overly easy. Enjoy!

Royal Envoy
 – 

One of the best

One of the best simulations in a long time. Spoiled by Anno 1602 (which I still want for the Mac) and Masters of Orion II I never really found replacements on the Mac platform. Until Royal Envoy. Excellent graphics, great interface (love the progress bars) and smart structure. No violence, no profanity - just addictive fun for hours of gaming fun.

For those who are older than ...much older

Nice game in a vintage style to remember all the stuff I used to play about 20 years ago. It's really nice.

Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars Director's Cut
 – 

Not for fans of the original game

The $10 download fee is really it's only saving point for me.

The inclusion of all the new elements fit very poorly in with the original and make it hard to enjoy the core game.

Artwork: The original was beautifully drawn and animated, and the new artwork is thick and animation clunky. The problem is that it's intermingled the new into the original so you have the original art style comparable to classic animation like Black Cauldron and Secret of Nimh, mixed in with thick lined vector style animation that looks like a Flash cartoon.

The face shots during conversations do not move but a few times during the conversation and the inclusion of larger, bulkier, poorly animated 3d characters makes the whole thing feel inconsistent and rushed.

The new story elements as well as the new audio feel exactly the same way, they just don't fit and you'll find yourself fighting to reconcile the new and old elements to make sense of it all and enjoy.

They also added more clues such as audio cues and a radar to find items to pick up and interact with so there isn't much challenge and satisfaction in solving the puzzles.

All this being said, don't buy this if you're looking to experience this game again, the new stuff really derails most of what made the original so great. However, if you've never played this game and ONLY have a mac, it's worth the 10 bucks and you'll still enjoy the story as a whole, but the inconsistencies across the board are pretty apparent and annoying.
