Journalist Journey: The Eye of Odin Review

Nice visuals... good premise. And right until I purchased it, a nicely engaging puzzle... No, I didn't read the review. But I hope you are! Just as with my fellow reviewer, right after I finished the trial period and paid for the game, it quit working when I reached the 5th scene. When I clicked on a certain object it crashed. I would really like to run the game... or get my money back. Too bad.. visuals, premise and puzzle and no engine!

Mishap: An Accidental Haunting Review

Overall, this is fun to play, but it's a bit short - it took me about five hours to complete. One difference about this game is the lack of returns to the same room - each main room has three smaller rooms to explore, and you never go back to the same scene to find more objects. I expected a longer game considering the size of the download, but a lot of that turned out to be animation.
What I liked:
- There's no time limit
- The hidden objects aren't *too* difficult to find, but they take a bit of searching.
- The storyline is well-written - it's funny, a bit sad, and charming in places.
- The riddles are fun and relatively easy to solve.
- The penalty for too many mis-clicks is rather high ::g:: (you'll see what I mean).
- In addition to the usual objects and mini-games, there are some 'minor' ghosts to be captured, and they have some fun stories behind them.
What I didn't like:
- The mini-games are mostly hand-eye coordination/speed games, and I'm no good at those, but after an initial try, you can skip them.
- Some objects are difficult to find because the graphics are a bit *too* cartoonish.
- I expected some sort of interactive play at the end, but the characters wrap it up without any help.
Overall, this game is a little different from the usual HOG formula, and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for something new.

The Otherside: Realm of Eons Review

I downloaded the trial version of The Otherside: Realm of Eons but although the game has a good price and lovely graphics I decided not to buy it. After having played quite a number of these types of games, amongst them Echoes of the Past: Royal House of Stone [Game Download], Flux Family Secrets: The Ripple Effect [Game Download] and Pahelika: Secret Legends [Game Download], I found this game too easy. Whenever a puzzle needs to be solved, the hints tell the player exactly what to do. Right down to which objects are needed, etc. So consequently there was no real challenge involved, just finding hidden objects (easy as well, because the rooms are not over-stuffed with objects as is the case with most hidden object games) and then using them as instructed by the hints which constantly pop up automatically.
While I am not one who likes to try forever to solve a puzzle or game, this quickly bored me. The mini games that I saw during the 30-minute trial were too easy as well. I would give this game to an older child but I don't find it suitable for adults.
