Howdy all! Whew, what a month this has been! As I mentioned before, the whole family went to Colorado for a week. We stayed near the Rocky Mountain National Park and wow, what a view! I didn't even miss my computer...much. I got to do some hikes, horse back riding, and take tons of pictures.
I got back just in time to move back into the dorms yesterday. I really like some of my professors this semester (always a good thing) and even though they'll probably work me to death, I know I'll be able to squeeze in time to write some guides.
I'm currently working on a guide but until then, I wanted to review the few HOG's that were released recently.
Enchanted Fairy Friends: Secret of the Fairy Queen
The introductory graphics were stunning and I had high hopes for the game, then I got past the story and to the actual hidden objects. While I don't usually mind searching for objects where you only have a silhouette to guide you since it's a nice challenge, the silhouettes were badly drawn and the pictures were a jumbled mess. Small items scattered here and there and everywhere! I was very disappointed to say the least because it looked good in the screenshots, ah well.
The game has three modes of play, Easy, Medium (which I tried), and Hard. It also has an option to play it timed or untimed.
My rating on a scale of 1(bad) to 5(awesome) is 2.
Righteous Kill
This is a basic HOG game with very nice graphics,and an interesting story line. The game is actually based on an upcoming movie of the same name. The objects are not overly difficult to find and the puzzles range from dusting for fingerprints to putting pieces of a paper back together (jigsaw) and find the missing item. However, I found the game didn't really hold my attention for very long and I like mysteries.
While it's not the best HOG I've ever played, it would be an easy play for a rainy day.
My rating for this game is a 3.
Yard Sale Hidden Treasures: Sunnyville
Currently writing a guide for this so... stay tuned! In other words, it's worth playing.
!NEWS ALERT!
Azada fans will be happy to hear that a little birdie has told me that as of next week, Azada 2 will be released! Don't worry, as soon as I can get my hands on it, I'll start writing you a guide, but be patient, if it's anything like it's predecessor, it may take me awhile.
