Black Hummer Productions have developed and PlayFirst have
published a new sequel of a hidden-object and puzzle game - Nightshift
Legacy: The Jaguar's Eye. The sequel may bring out thoughts and
emotions different form those from the first one, but it is still worth our attention anyways. We meet the same characters from the first game - Mike and Isabel. And
again they are found in the process of search, dangerous search. The game offers 6 chapters in total with several different levels each. So this is what Nightshift Legacy: The Jaguar's Eye offers us: intriguing story, challenging tasks and nice audio-visuals.
This game, Nocturnal: Boston Nightfall, developed by Gameshastra and published by Big Fish Games,
has its pros and cons (just like most of the casual games), but it
definitely will be a unique experience considering the main theme. Imagine one day your life changes in a dramatic way with no option to get back. This is what has
happened with our main character, Claire. We meet her
lying on the stairs after being attacked by a creature. What had happened?.. And what changes has it it brought about?..The
overall look of the game matches the theme very well.
The
game offers mostly hidden object levels with several mini-games in
between.
And again we were lucky to be introduced to another high-polished hidden-object game - Alabama Smith: Escape from Pompeii. This puzzle game from Alawar Entertainment gets on a journey in search of a ancient amulet. What's really unusual is that you don't get a list of things to find, then a puzzle game, then all over again.
There are mini-games, but they usually go as a part of your search of the location or a means to accomplish one of the tasks.
The shower of sequels to hit games continues, this time with the second part of the addictive quest about the adventurous guy Mortimer Beckett and his uncle Jerome. The game offers all the features of the original one which were so attractive for players, and even more puzzle fun. Though in the first part Mortimer freed his uncle Jerome's manor from ghosts, they managed to open a Time Portal. And if a Time Portal is open, it always means Big Trouble! The game play is a really engaging combination of hidden object and quest in eight time zones. And the visuals and sounds are beyond any praise. You are welcome to enjoy!
Book of Legends is a hidden object/adventure game developed and
published by Gogii Games. You are taken on a journey with two siblings
in search of King Arthur's sword. Starting from Washington D.C. they head to Europe and Asia then. One of them, Charlie, has opened a book from the library and it turnes out to be the Book of Legends. The book can give clues to finding the sword of King Arthur himself - an irresistably attractive thing for a little boy. The game is full of different kinds of puzzles and tons of hidden object games.
