What others have said about
Jane’s Realty?
“If you ever wondered how Jane did after Jane’s Hotel, well, she’s now a millionaire, with a loving husband, and a real estate mogul. Yep, you heard the “real estate” part right. And on the Jane’s Realty game, you get to put in Jane’s shoes as she takes on her husband’s business in this Time Management game coming from Realore Studios…
…What’s really fun about Jane’s Realty is how it plays like Build-a-Lot, and that means an enjoyable and very addictive gameplay. The vast arrays of houses and buildings you can build is sure enough to keep you playing for hours, and the whole game just gets more exciting as you unlock more of them to build. In fact, all of them are upgradeable too, providing more service and rent after spending just a little amount of money…
…One thing I hated about the game though is how steep the difficulty curve is even on the few beginning levels. With all the tasks handed down to you, it can get really confusing on what to build or buy for you to achieve all the necessary goals. But I guess this is the real essence of Time Management games anyway, so I’ll just leave it up to you guys to see for yourself.”
“With trouble in the economy and the majority of homes being devalued in the markets, independent real estate polls indicate that many of us are feeling the pinch. It’s ironic, then, that under these conditions we’ve seen a rush of real estate games. Jane’s Realty is the latet addition to the time management buiding scene, joining games like Build-a-lot and Build in Time.
If you’ve played the previous “Jane” games, including Jane’s Hotel and Jane’s Hotel: Family Hero… well, you can pretty much forget them, since Jane’s Realty is something totally different. The only thing they really have in common is Jane…
.. On the whole, Jane’s Realty is a creative game that is full of unrealized potential. There are lots of great ideas implemented, like blending interior decorating into the mix, and offering so many upgrade and building options. Unfortunately, these ideas suffer with pacing which is too frantic. There are simply too many tasks expected of players without adequate preparation or explanation. Without any way of slowing things down, it can quickly become frustrating as players get stuck on the same board over and over again.
It would be great to see a sequel which takes all of the same fun elements of the game, but offers players a better chance to enjoy them with fewer timers and more open-ended goals for a generally less overwhelming game play experience. ”

What others have said about
Deep Voyage?
“There’s some good news and not-so-good news about Deep Voyage. On one hand, it’s a relaxing match-3 puzzle game to whittle away a lazy afternoon, but those looking for an innovative offering will be sorely disappointed.
The story of Deep Voyage involves a beautiful mermaid outside of the gates of the Underwater Kingdom, who dreams of becoming a royal sea gardener and winning the coveted design competition against some challenging peers. It’s up to you, dear puzzle gamer, to help the mermaid create a gorgeous underwater garden by playing through a number of levels…
…Deep Voyage isn’t a bad game - it’s just one of those “eh” puzzlers that, while relaxing, proves to be a mediocre collapse-style diversion. The board layouts are interesting, and increasingly challenging, but the so-so graphics, upgrades and design competition theme make this a C-grade title at best.”
“Deep Voyage begins with a sequence reminiscent of The Little Mermaid: you are a beautiful mermaid with a faithful aquatic friend, exploring the underwater kingdom for treasure. But unlike Ariel with her cave of treasure, your goal in this game is to use what you find to make a beautiful garden for a royal gardening competition….
…Even with all its detail, Deep Voyage isn’t hard to play at all. In fact, we found it much easier and more relaxing than the other usual games in the market. The calming music, subtle sound effects, and pretty underwater environment are just right. It’s this balance that makes it such a great game, clever enough for pros but easy enough for newcomers to try it out. Download it now and have fun!”

What others have said about
Restaurant Rush?
“In Burger Rush, Heidi convinced us that her low-fat, delicious burgers could be considered high cuisine. But in Restaurant Rush she’ll have to do more than cook burgers if she’s to convince the snobby judges from the World Culinary Federation that she’s a good enough chef to open her cooking school.
The basic match-three / time management gameplay of the original Burger Rush is intact (think Stand O’ Food meets Jewel Quest meets Cake Mania). Your goal is to fill the orders of the customers who walk up to the counter by matching the correct number of ingredients on a match-three grid. If a customer places an order for a burger, for example, you might have to match 7 beef, 5 lettuce and 8 tomato to fill the order…
…In terms of being a satisfactory sequel, Restaurant Rush does everything right by keeping what made Burger Rush work and taking the gameplay in some fun new directions. Fans can rest assured that Restaurant Rush is more than just a rehashed Burger Rush with a few extra recipes.”
“…Restaurant Rush also features a variety of upgrades to aid you in serving for customers. Upgrades range from equipment upgrades to the quality of each ingredient you serve and can be bought through tokens. You can also buy various recipes and desserts from the shop, all in all adding to the repertoire of your restaurant and earning you more money as well. Honestly, I think this game has too much upgrades. But thinking about it, this feature also gives the game its dynamic feel and choosing upgrades will either spell victory or defeat as you progress through the game…
…In terms of presentation, I liked the character illustrations in Restaurant Rush especially the vast array of zany customer types like the Supergeek, Opera Lady and the German Bodybuilder. Sounds are excellent too including the funny voice-overs, and I found the gameplay to be very smooth as well.
One surprise included in Restaurant Rush is the alternate ending feature. An ending will depend on how you played the game and through your many game decisions. All in all this assures that you won’t see this game as short-lived just like most casual games of its type.”

What others have said about
Wild West Quest?
“Gunsmoke find games with a western theme are too few and far between. That’s what makes the hidden object release Wild West Quest such a treat - cool water, as it were, for a parched throat. While not every chamber of this six-shooter is loaded, the shots fired are on target.
With most seek-and-find games, storylines seem like a last minute tack on rather than an integral design element. Fortunately, that’s not true here. It’s not of the same caliber as a New York Times Best Seller, but the narrative behind this Wild West adventure is quite good for a casual release…
…In general, Wild West Quest is an engaging diversion for object-hunting fans, especially those enamored of the Old West. Visuals are good, music is catchy, the story is well-written and integrated tightly into the game, play is addictive and, due to random object lists each time you start a new game, replayability is high. Plus, question marks hidden in each scene provide extra clues for locating hard-to-find items…
…Wild West Quest is a fun way to relive the glory days of the Old West while rustling up some hidden objects in the process. It could have easily been titled “How the West was Fun”.”
