Crossing the t's and dotting the i's

 

One more month of 2007 is gone. We're not sure if it was full of warm sunny days in your region, but for casual game community June 2007 will remain the time to remember. This is the period when a new great game was released every third day.

 

Maybe July will be even hotter, who knows...

 

So, below is the list of the most memorable titles released in June (in order of release date of each title).Make sure you have not missed anything...

 

Azada is the latest work by Big Fish Studio. If you ask me about the genre of this game, I would call it a real puzzle epic that combines hidden object, jigsaw, word and every sort of puzzler ever invented by human brain.

 

So, this is a pack of various puzzles based on the investigation with the eerie look and feel of a sorcery story kind of Mystery Case Files: Ravenhearst.

Secrets of the Great Art - okay, let's call things what they are. This is another hidden object puzzle that offers players to hunt for the hidden objects ... on the paintings.

 

Dekovir Entertainment team that developed the game was the first to take the seek-and-find genre out of the lumbered rooms and placed it on the classic canvases.

Chocolatier - huh, finally, a single strategy game in the pile of hidden-object puzzlers that were popular in June. Chocolatier developed by Big Splash Games and published by Playfirst is one of the most "casual" out of all strategy games ever released.

The Magician's Handbook: The Cursed Valley is hidden object game developed by BC soft that goes in line with the eerie seek-and-find hits sort of MCF: Ravenhearst and certainly, the previous title. But as far as game plot is concerned, The Magician Handbook resembles Abra Academy or Magic Academy as it is all about magic.

 

You are to cast away the curse laid upon a valley. For that sake you need to find magical stuff cluttered in several locations like cemetery, magician's lab etc. A great pro of this game are its hand-painted backgrounds.
