Escape the Museum 2?
Casual Explosion
“…Susan, David, and their daughter Caitlyn experience a Thanksgiving catastrophe of their own in Escape the Museum 2 from Gogii Games. This hidden object adventure game is a direct sequel to Escape the Museum, in which Susan and Caitlyn were trapped in the museum during a 6.5 magnitude quake that temporarily shut down the mysteriously unnamed city in which they live. This sequel follows David’s adventures during the same quake. He spends Thursday morning napping on the sofa only to wake and discover the aftermath of the quake. In his attempt to make it downtown to the museum he quickly realizes that he’ll have to navigate dangerous streets, unstable buildings, aftershocks, well-meaning police officers, and a fractured drawbridge. What a Thanksgiving!
Each chapter of David’s adventure throws a problem at him as, in one way or another, his route toward the museum is blocked. Sometimes it’s an obvious obstacle such as a giant hole in the street. At other times David’s humanitarian instincts won’t let him ignore a bystander (or cuddly kitten cowering behind a pile of bricks) in need of rescuing…
…Escape the Museum 2 has excellent graphics and though many of the puzzles are a bit farfetched, they make for an enjoyable game. The setting and drama are more or less realistic, which makes for an odd match considering the hidden object game scenes often use common tricks like making objects the wrong size or color or even fading them into their surroundings. My only other complaint is that I often had trouble knowing where to click next to complete a puzzle or obtain the next piece of one. Even when I knew what I wanted David to do, sometimes getting him to do it was a bit awkward.”

“…Escape the Museum was a pioneer in the Adventure/HOG field, and Escape the Museum 2 goes all-out to top the original. Better graphics, more tension, more adventure, and one of the funniest hint systems ever seen in a game. You might say, “but practically every hybrid coming out today has great graphics,” and you would be right. Where Escape the Museum excels is in the gameplay as well, creating a tense, tight, wonderful adventure that can be enjoyed by the entire family…
…The artwork in the original Escape the Museum was good, but suffered from an unfortunate “graininess” which made it sometimes difficult to distinguish items in the dark, cluttered rooms. No such problems in Escape the Museum 2! The adventure and HOG scenes are bright, clear, sharp, and photo real…
…Escape the Museum 2 is a colorful, wild ride that tops the original in just about every aspect…”

The Mystery of the Crystal Portal?

“…The latest seek-and-find adventure from RealArcade, The Mystery of the Crystal Portal, centers on journalist Nicole Rankvist as she receives a strange note from her archaeologist father, Robert, saying that he’s discovered an artifact that has the power to change humanity. When Robert goes missing, Nicole must find pieces of the Crystal Portal key and retrace Robert’s steps by – you guessed it – searching for hidden objects!
Nicole’s journey takes her to five exotic locations, including Japan, the Swiss Alps, the Mayan ruins of Guatemala, and wintry Russia. Each location is broken into two or three scenes where you must search for “normal” objects (the usual random assortment of items such as vase, bucket and saw), story items that will help you advance (like a jug of gasoline to power a generator), container items (more on these in a moment) and “puzzle” items like gears and tile fragments that unlock the final stage of each round, which is always a puzzle game of some sort…
…The game has good graphics in its favor, including beautiful scrolling panoramas that introduce each new location. It’ s evident that a lot of care was taken to place items in the scenes that look like they belong there instead of completely random stock photo clutter (in other words, you won’t see a Statue of Liberty or Eiffel Tower amongst the Mayan ruin, thankfully.
The verdict: The Mystery of the Crystal Portal is a good, though not stellar, hidden object game whose laid back set of rules is sure to provide a relaxing experience free of the stress of time limits and penalties for random clicking or using up hints.”

“In Mystery of the Crystal Portal, you play as a New York Journalist named Nicole Rankwist. Nicole’s father is an eccentric archeologist and is always off in some exotic location, experiencing an adventure or two. This time, however, things are different. Nicole’s father calls her up from Japan to tell her about his recent discovery, telling her that it could change the course of humanity, but the odd thing is that he sounds slightly nervous. Our heroine agrees to meet up with him later, but when her very punctual father doesn’t show up for six hours after the meeting time, she realizes that something is wrong and she needs to get to the bottom of it…
…The ingenuity and creativity doesn’t stop at the story. While the gameplay in Mystery of the Crystal Portal is deeply rooted in hidden objects gameplay, it goes far above and beyond the usual formula. There are three different types of objects you must find in each level: normal, puzzle, and key. Key objects are what really set the game apart from others of its type. When you mouse over a key item, your cursor will turn into a hand. Click on that item and it will you show you a handful of other items that must go inside. There’s no list here that tells you what to find…
…Mystery of the Crystal Portal is - in my opinion - the best hidden objects game to come along in quite a while. It does so many things different from the norm and makes for a fun and unique experience that shouldn’t be passed up. It’s a true work of art that everyone should experience at least once.”

Season of Mystery: The Cherry Blossom Murders?
Gamezebo
“Square Enix is a Japanese publisher best known for creating the epic role-playing series Final Fantasy, which is why we were surprised when they released the cute puzzle game Yosumin! as a digital download earlier this year. We were surprised again to see Square Enix’s name on the title screen of Season of Mystery: The Cherry Blossom Murders, a hidden object game set in 19th century Japan.
Season of Mystery is told from the perspective of Mrs. Irene Pemberton, a Western woman who embarks on a new life in the Far East with her husband, Richard, after he’s transferred to the Japanese Embassy in Tokyo. Their peaceful new life is shattered when Richard is found dead in their home one evening in what seems like a suicide, but Irene knows her husband better than that. She suspects foul play, and sets out to prove it and clear his name…
…Seasons of Mystery: The Cherry Blossom Murders is definitely worth a try for those craving a no-nonsense, attractively packaged hidden object game with a mystery story to unravel.”

Island Realms?
Gamezebo
“When Alawar Melesta, creator of the popular Farm Frenzy-series, decides to develop a game that can be compared to the surprise hit My Kingdom for the Princess, this could be interesting. While the lack of a proper tutorial for a rather complex game and a somewhat choppy and shortish storyline appear a bit daunting in the beginning, Island Realms nevertheless turns out to be more innovative and engaging than the usual more of the same entry in the casual market.
As the name of the game indicates, the player visits a large number of small islands throughout the game. Your basic goal is to reach the next island, but doing so requires a lot of work and strategic thinking, which is without a doubt more challenging and hectic than what some casual gamers are used to. To reach another island, you have to load a wagon at the end of the current island with various goods, such as food, stone, coins or wood…
…The graphics are actually great, with fantastic animations and comparatively detailed people…
…Island Realms is definitely on the challenging side, with comparatively long and complex levels right from the beginning. Interestingly enough, the game is another example of the successful approach of the casual and the hardcore gaming market. The trial version should suffice to assure whether the game is to your taste or not, but especially those of you who already liked the old classic The Settlers will absolutely adore Island Realms.”
IT Expressions
“Making a good change from the many hidden object games that have been released recently, Island Realms is touted as a time management game but could easily be placed as a strategy game or a resource management game. Whatever way you look at it, fans of the old classic PC game, The Settlers, will prick their ears up on this game, with another step in the casual game industry taken toward bridging the gap between the large PC epics and downloadable casual games…
…Island Realms is a challenge and as such a good addition to anyone who likes the time management game genre. It is from the makers of Farm Frenzy, and if you have played that you will know that the quality is high, with the difficulty level also on the high side. Highly recommend this game as one that will test you to the max with great replay value as you chase the fruits of life. Have fun with Island Realms, as there are many moments within the game that will give you a good laugh.”

Murder, She Wrote walkthrough!
What others have said about
Murder, She Wrote?
Gamezebo
“It seems like a match made in heaven: a hidden-object game (”HOG”) that has you scouring for clues and solving puzzles to unravel a murder mystery, all based on the coveted Murder, She Wrote television series that ran from 1984 to 1996.
…Legacy Interactive’s Murder, She Wrote does stay truthful to the long-running show - thanks to excellent writing, plot twists and good voice-acting (led by a convincing Angela Lansbury sound-a-like) - but the fun object-finding puzzles and mini-games also hold their own, even without the MSW association…
…Murder, She Wrote does a great job fusing the TV fiction with HOG puzzles. Even though it doesn’t exactly break new ground in the hidden object genre, its enthusiastic presentation and faithfulness to the source material make it well worth a download.
Whether or not you’re a fan of Murder, She Wrote, Legacy Interactive has done a good job with this game. It offers a rich hidden object game experience that also folds in clever minigames, great writing, and of course, head-scratching whodunits that has you questioning all the suspects and their motives.”
Casual Explosion
“…Murder, She Wrote: The Game, from Mystery Studios and Legacy Interactive, is a fairly faithful recreation of Angela Lansbury’s long-running TV series. You play as Jessica Fletcher, a small town crime novelist and criminologist who stumbles upon dead bodies wherever she goes (usually about her business in Cabot Cove, Maine). Perhaps based on Agatha Christie’s Ms. Marple or Adriadne Oliver, Jessica gets to the bottom of mysteries by snooping around and cleverly putting clue and clue together. In this hidden object game version, snooping of course means searching various locations for an assortment of mostly random hidden objects, with just a few clues mixed in…
…There are a number of puzzles to solve in between hunting for hidden objects. Jigsaw puzzles, memory games, spot the difference puzzles, logic challenges, and so on. Some are more pertinent to the mystery than others.
Murder, She Wrote contains quite a few cutscenes - many more than most hidden object games released these days. These intermissions are just slightly animated with sliding static images, but all are voiced over. Actors and actresses from the TV show and TV movies are absent, of course, but their replacements (Phoebe Moyer in the case of Angela Lansbury) are quite good so no complaints there. The graphics that matter most, inside the hidden object rooms, aren’t bad… but I found some objects a tad bit fuzzy. This isn’t the kind of game you can enjoy with the glare of the sun on the corner of your monitor.
Hearing the familiar opening theme is very exciting, in a “I used to hear this on my TV fifteen years ago and now it’s on my computer!” kind of way.”
