Punished Talents: Stolen Awards Collector's Edition

Punished Talents: Stolen Awards Collector's Edition is now available for download. It is a new release from Blam! Games. This hidden object puzzle adventure game is very entertaining and actually educational for the younger players (or not so knoligable adult playres).

The game's characters are one of the essential parts of such stories. And these scientists are no disappointment.

The story of this game immidiately puts you in the 12-little-indians mode (at least in my imagination). You play as one of the scientists who gethered together to compete for one of the most honorable awards in the scientific world, Pride of Humanity. 

Things get more interesting when one of you gets ill and you get stuck in the castle cut off from the outside world. The castle is a great place for some HOPA fun. You will have to use all of the knowledge that you have to find the potential murderer. There is a bonus game where you get to catch a madman on a train (another great mini-plot).

The game's characters are one of the essential parts of such stories. And these scientists are no disappointment. Some of them are more eccentric than other. The game features some real actors for their characters too. The graphics are your typical HOPA scenes with a lot of items hidden and scattered for you explore.

Another fun part of the game is the profiles of some of the scientific inventions. You unlock those with the morphing objects. This would where entertainment meets education for kids.

The media extras, music, concept art, wallpaper, are yours at the end of the game. The game provies you with a strategy guide to make your way through the game and not miss anything. There are four modes to choose from: Casual, Advanced, Hardcore, and Custom.

The puzzles comne in different shape and form as well as difficulty level. Most of them are science-themed and are not very hard. They seem to outnumber the hidden object scenes. The collectibles and the achievements add more challenge and allow you more time in the game.

The game is fun, well the nurdy kind of fun combining nurder mystery and science together.
