G.H.O.S.T. Hunters: The Haunting of Majesty Manor - the latest hidden-object genre game

G.H.O.S.T. Hunters: The Haunting of Majesty Manor is the newest hidden-object genre game from Aisle 5 Games. It offers you to solve the mystery of Viola Majesty's manor full of sinister puzzles.

You are to search different rooms to find the objects with residual psychic energies to identify possible suspects.

Viola Majesty, the manor's matron, is in despair.

She's been bothered by the odd noises, missing items and objects moving on their own.

You are her last chance to restore peace in her own house.

You help her investigating different places of the house and finding objects with residual psychic energies to identify possible suspects.

You have 15 days to find the items, identify the suspects, and solve the mystery.

You are given 15 days to investigate 19 unique locations of the Majesty Manor to solve the mystery.

There is Carriage House, Billiard Room, Graveyard, Garden Shed and Library among the locations.

The places are full of all sorts of stuff. The required items are hiding anywhere you can imagine - on the shelves, on the wallpaper, on the pantings...

If you got stuck with finding stuff, use the Milti-Scanner Wand to give you a hint.

The locations are full of things of all kinds, so if you get stuck with finding something, there is the Milti-Scanner Wand to give you a hint.

You just need to drag it around the screen and, when you are close to one of the objects, the small red indicators light up on the wand.

The number of the hints is limited for a level. However you can try to find a battery on the screen to get an additional hint.

Though, if you are a fan of finding objects, you can choose a bonus level after each level to find the rest of the objects in every room.

The time is limited for each level, but even with numerous time penalties it's more than enough.

Finding some of the things may not be very easy as the items-to-find list does not specify, say, what kind of bat you should be looking for.

The same is with symbols and signs.

The time for each level is limited, but it's more then enough.

Like in other hidden-object genre games, you get time penalty for frequent random clicking.

The graphics are really attractive and bright. The music and sound effects are so good and impressive, like thunder, footsteps, whispers and creaking hinges. All this gives the appropriate atmosphere to the game.

A mode with a stricter time limit would be great. The only problem is that the game has the higher system requirements than average (1GHz processor, 512MB RAM, Windows XP and an NVIDIA or ATI 3D video card). So make sure your system is capable of these requirements.

Escape from Paradise-review by gamemile

Escape from Paradise - mix of simulation, adventure and real-time management mixed with mini-games
What would you expect from an exquisite cruise? Definitely not a shipwreck that makes you one of 50 castaways on a tropical island. But this is reality for you in Escape from Paradise game from savvy developer Gogii Games. Your goal? Get off the island. To do that you need to explore the island, set a camp, find radio parts, build a rescue object. This game pretty much resembles Virtual Villagers and Tropix . But in fact it has much more to offer. This unique combination of simulation, adventure and real-time management mixed with mini-games won’t get you bored .
On this uncharted island you are to organize all the castaways to perform all kinds of tasks like building a hut or a well, hewing some wood, etc… You do that just by clicking and dragging them to the required location. You do all that under a guidance of a strange native in a Tiki mask. After each challenge is completed, the Tiki man gives your tribe a new tool and teaches them new techniques. Moreover, you get more castaways in your tribe.
New villagers mean more help in building the camp, but at the same time it means that you have more people to take care of. Each castaway can be customized and has 4 needs that must be satisfied. These are food, water, sleep and socialization (called social need). By clicking on any villager you can see ther current needs displayed at the bottom of the playing field. So as you get more villagers you get more trouble taking care of all of them.
Your goal is to make your way home. For that sake you need to go through all the challenges that are shown on the Escape Progress Map. The last destination is a volcano in the centre of the island. You can win the game only by completing all the challenges. That makes it different from an average sim game. Escape from Paradise game consists of 30 challenges and 17 mini-games that pop up in-between the challenges. The mini-games can also be launched from the main menu at any time no matter what level you’re currently playing. If you win mini-games, you get new tools for your tribe such as a shovel, axe etc to help you accelerate the camp construction and development.
Though at first sight it might seem that the game looks very much like Virtual Villagers and Tropix, Escape from Paradise surely stands out of the line of island-life simulators. Unlike in Virtual Villagers you don’t have to breed people in Escape from Paradise game cause you’ve got all the villagers on the island from the very start. Also, you’ve got only three castaways’ skills to be developed here - Carpenter, Provider and Lumberjack(there are 5 of them in Virtual Villagers). Mini-games make this game similar to Tropix.
As you can remember, the same mini-games are available in both games but Escape from Paradise provides you with wider variety - up to 17 mini-games.
Some of them are variations of popular tribal-themed casual games.
Tips and tricks for Escape from Paradise: Main Guidelines
1. Construct storage huts as near to resources as possible to reduce the time necessary to stock up on supplies (that means leave room — don’t build huts right next to resources).2. As you complete challenges, you unlock higher skill levels. So, make sure you’re always working toward finishing a challenge.3. To help organize your castaways, assign shirt colors to particular skills.4. Expand your village as quickly as possible by building huts.5. Attracting more people means more workers at hand.

Burger Rush

Burger Rush - Match-3 Hamburger Restaurant

First there was a Diner Dash, and Diner Dash was the only arcade. Then there sprang Delicious Deluxe, Cake Mania, Teddy the Tavern and other clones like mushrooms.

The world seemed to be fed up with clones and no games seemed to be more promising. Here comes the latest product of the game-baking industry combining the up-to-date achievements of all the genres.

Ladies and gentlemen, meet Burger Rush, developed by Gamenauts and presented by RealArcade. This is a revolutionary solution in the micromanagement game that hides in a unique mixture of match-3 and restaurant micromanagement game. Let's see if it works. Seriously, this game is unique thanks to this special genre combination.

The point is to help young and enthusiastic Heidi, the title character, run her own hamburger restaurant and serve customers by preparing mouthwatering hamburgers.

Similarly to Stand'O Food, you're to prepare a hamburger out of many ingredients (hams, buns, tomatoes, lettuce etc.).

In order to put the required number of ingredients, you're to match three or more of them on the playfield.

In order to perform a match, follow the simple swap-n-match rules of Bejeweled: swap the adjacent ingredients to place three or more identical ingredients side-by-side.

Once a cluster is created, the elements will be added to the hamburger that you are preparing.

If there are some extra elements matched, they are added to the next hamburger in a queue (as there are several hamburgers in a queue).

Similarly to Diner Dash, the final point is to serve your customers and earn the required sum in a limited time.

Just like in Diner Dash, the customer's mood affects the money you get from your customers.

Unsatisfied customers leave and reduce your points, while satisfied pay more, thus helping you to earn the required sum in a shorter time.

Thus, you are advised to please your customers with sweets, cakes, fries and drinks that you can buy between the levels for the tokens earned during the previous level.

Tokens appear on the playfield among other ingredients in the shape of golden coins. Click in order to grab them.

Between the levels you can earn all sorts of upgrades (if your tokens allow you to) including the types of hamburgers you can serve.

So, the process looks like that: first you're to match ingredients for the hamburger, prepare them in time, keep an eye on your customer satisfaction level and serve them some treats if available. Plus, you're to raise the required sum by the end of level.

So, as you see, in this game you as a player will get a twice-more difficult task: to play matching puzzle while performing micromanagement task under a limited time. Aside from all the challenges, the game play is spiced up with mouthwatering graphics and goes at a vivid arcade pace.

So get your burger on at crazygamer.org ha ha just tyring a little fast food humor!!

Mystery of Shark Island

Mystery of Shark Island - Seek-and-Find Puzzle for Robinson Crusoe

Today I had a chance to remember myself as a child gathering shells, stones and other "useful" stuff at the seaside. These sweet reminiscences together with a feeling of summer bliss came to my mind because of the same Mystery of Shark Island game.

Clear blue waves of a tender ocean cover you in the beginning of the game (and this feeling continues each level). But they hide some mystery in the ocean depth and you are to unravel it. The main aim is to find a key to a chest and learn everything about this island and its riddles.

The task of Mystery of Shark Island differs a little bit from the usual hidden-objects game. Don't expect to find a list of items to find and florid cluttered rooms.

Azure peaceful sea waves bring you a mixture of precious objects and useless junk.

The playing field is sown with shells, stones, conchs, algae e.t.c. You are to find and pick up in this variety all needed items (4-5 usually), displayed on the bottom of the playing field.

Some of them may be buried underneath the sand. Brush the sand away by sweeping your mouse over it. Other obstacles are heavy rocks. When you see them, hold the mouse button down over the rock to lift it. Each object that you find earns you points and gets your progress running.

While seeking the beach be very attentive as you may find some golden coins, which are your bonuses. Get them to complete the level much faster and more efficiently.

Thus, one bonus may wave your timer restored, while another one removes all rocks or increases the speed with which you pick up rocks and so forth. Also you may increase your results if you finish early.

In such a case you'll be awarded with a time bonus. Pick up 10 shells without picking up piece of a junk to increase your score multiplayer. It is also possible to get a chaining bonus: pick up multiple shells of the same type in a row.

As the game follows, it gets slightly complicated. More and more items are hidden under the sand. Be ready to find a black silhouette of a required object in the task list instead of a picture.

But level after level you approach the clue as more keys are collected (they will be shown each time when you get them).

What's more, you'll have a chance to observe the island from different angles as the game may put you closer to the shore or far enough that you can hardly see the objects. Thus, from the most general view of the group of islands (a map as a shark) you'll move to the very sandy shore with its meticulous pieces.

There are two modes in Mystery of Shark Island: Story Mode and Arcade Mode. Though both of them have a time limit, Arcade Mode features a number of differences.

Here you are trying to survive for as long as you can and earn as more points as possible. You must pick up every item in the list of every wave. If it happens that you miss an item, you'll loose one of your five lives.

They are shown in the bottom of the playfield and designed as yellow stars. In the end of the levels you are to solve an additional puzzle: to complete a picture of a door out of a number of separate pieces.

No matter if you are into summer time fun or computer puzzles, you can't stay indifferent to the quality graphics and splendid music of Mystery of Shark Island. Lots of azure and sandy colors together with the sound of sea tide are doubtless pros of this game.

So get to crazygamer.org and start downloading this game is HOT!

Virtual Villagers - ‘Striving for Survival' Simulator

A simulator game which gives you a chance to live a life of a little tribe on an exotic island.

Game story. A few lucky survivors flee from a volcanic eruption. After days of drifting in the sea, they land on the shore of a mysterious island.

As they look around, they see what appeared to be an empty and isolated paradise!

Your little bunch of villagers feels lost and confused on an unknown island. Your task is to successfully manage their day-to-day routine so that they are able to thrive in their new home and to unlock the mysteries of Isola Island.

In other words, you have to grow a small village in your computer.

Your little villagers need to become farmers, builders, researchers, and parents. Moreover, they will have to make decisions in the unpredictable situations that they run into on Isola island. But first of all you have to make sure that your villagers' basic needs are met.

Their most urgent need is food, which you'll find in limited supply on a berry bush.

Learn also with your villagers to build huts, to heal the sick, to increase population, and many other things allowing your little tribe to carry on.

Don't worry if you are at your wit's end and don't know what to start with: numerous messages flashing on your screen from time to time will guide your actions.

By the way, the villagers continue to grow and to do things you've taught them even when your computer is off! Come back and see every time what changes are waiting for you...

Yeah, it's the same as in Fish Tycoon. The game continues even if you switch your pc off.

And don't forget to switch your computer on from time to time, otherwise your villagers may die.

Give your villagers a food for thinking - teach them to do island research.

Researching will gain them tech points to be used for buying one of six technologies.

As the village grows and prospers, the villagers become curious about their mysterious island and the secrets it has.

So apart from guiding the villagers' day-to-day lives, you also help them to explore and the island and solve its puzzles. 16 puzzles are waiting for you.

The villagers' curiosity is often a clue to puzzles - "exploring" the island they may come across the well which needs cleaning (flashing message will signal you about it). Clean it and the first puzzle is solved! Another good strategy is to drag one of your adult villagers around the island after every tech purchase and look for new things that they can work on. And don't fuss! It takes time for your villagers to obtain the necessary skills and technology to find puzzles and to work through all of them.

While playing the game use five main screens Main screen is the one where main action takes place. Map allows you ‘travel' along the island zooming in to different spots. Villagedetail screen reflects info on the island's inhabitants: their names, age, likes and dislikes. Technologies screen shows your villagers' research points (you can spend these points to improve the life on the island). Finally, as your purpose is to achieve 16 milestones, puzzles and milestones screen shows you the completed milestones.

Virtual Villagers Tips:

- to move around the map, click anywhere with your mouse on the map and without lifting the mouse, move the ground in the direction you want to go;

- to select a villager simply click on him/her (you'll see a white ellipse around his/her feet)

- to gather food, drag villager to the berry bush. If the villager is successful he will carry a bowl of berries to the granary. It can take a couple of tries before your little people are successful at this skill;

- drag a villager to the scaffolding to teach him construction skills. In the beginning you'll work on the basic level of construction, and when you upgrade your building technology, your villagers will find other ways to use their constructing skills;

- to heal the sick villager, drag another villager on top of the sick one;

- if you need a break, you can pause the clock (go into Options - Game Speed - Pause)

Advantages. The game features good graphics and design. It sparkles with vivid colors and has a bunch of picturesque landscapes. The tasks of the game are really challenging. It will teach you responsibility.
