Guess how I feel about this one
There are a lot of hidden object games that's been flowing everywhere and I have to say there are some good hidden object games, some bad, and the majority of them just plain horrible. This one falls under the category of being a good game.
I loved the mini games because they were challenging. I even got stuck in some areas because some items were hard to find and some mini games were hard to complete and that's why I liked this game. You had to use brain power.
If you like the Dream Chronicle Series, the Azada series, and any hidden object game where you do more than just look for items then I would highly recommend this game. You won't get bored. I also believe a sequel might be in the making. Yay! |

Sometimes sequels can be a good thing
In movies sequels can be a bad thing...In hidden object interactive games, it can be a good thing. Samantha Swift and the Golden Touch is just that.
If you played the first then you don't need an explanation as to how this one is played. It has the same motif: Samantha has to keep an evil doer from being able to get a treasure than can ruin the world.
This game has the same style as the first but it's just a tad longer than the first. I even like the scanner feature. You don't need to use the bolts because the scanner allows you to click on the item and will go from yellow to red(cold to hot) if you're in the right area. The mini games are great too. They're challenging but not to the point where it leaves you stumped or having the need to search for clues as to how to solve the puzzles.
Game developers are getting the right idea on how to step up the hidden object game motif. Just looking for items in a room doesn't do it for me anymore and I'm pretty sure it's the same for other hidden object fans.
Samantha Smith is great...What would be golden if a part three is in the near future. |

Little Shop Worth Big Bucks
Ok, right to the point...
Little Shop City Lights is a seek and find game that will cause you to lose sleep--and I mean that in a good way.
The items that you have to find are so well hidden that it'll keep you pinned to your computer until you actually find the needed item.
There's some perks to this game that I love. Clicking on the birds and sock monkeys for an additional bonus is a perk. Finding all of the question marks is another. Finding the thermometer where the customers will help you by letting you know if you're hot or cold when it comes to finding their items is an even bigger perk.
The only thing that I don't like is when you begin a round, the time begins to count down before the customers show their list of items to find and it doesn't give you that much time. Also if you're able to find all of the items and you only have about 10 seconds left and you reach the bonus round, the 10 seconds you have left from the round won't help if you can't find the item within that time frame. The good thing is if you can't find the bonus item, you can start all over and won't get penalized for doing so.
I love this game because it has the perks that I look for in a game. |

Gives a little more spin to The Wizard of OZ
First let me just say that I am now truly addicted to point and click games.
This game gives you an insight of what's going on after Dorothy defeated the evil witch in The Wizard of OZ. You have the usual characters: Dorothy, Tin Man, Scarecrow, and the Lion. These characters life styles truly have grown since the way the movie was made is the reason why I like it. You also have newer characters and scenarios like Petra trying to find her brother and having to go through obstacles to find him.
There is a lot of dialogue, yes, but that's what makes the game the game. It's like a film noir if you like that kind of stuff.
You have your humor, suspense, action, and mystery. That's the way I love my games.
The best part about this game is that you can't finish this within 5-6 hours. It takes longer to complete and I like that. I think making games like this where it last longer needs to be done a lot more. This is where paying the $20 seem worth it.
Finding objects in different rooms means nothing to me anymore. Ever since I was introduced to interactive adventure games like Azada, and the Mystery Case File series I've just been hooked. Emerald City Confidential helped bring my addiction to point and click games to a new light. |

Jolly Good Game
If I had to describe this game in three words, it would be Fab-u-lous!!
I wouldn't say Mystery in London is way better than the MCF series but I will say it's right up there with it.
There are a lot of Seek and Find games on here and I have probably played every last one but I have never played a seek and find game like this. I love the fact that you can thorougly search for hidden clues spec by spec. I love the 360 degree search as well as being able to use the magnifying glass to help better my search. The mini puzzles are easy but they have little twists to them which I love games with a twist.
I also love the fact that this gives you a bit of history of London. Since I never been and would love to go there, this is the closest I could get, lol!! It makes you feel as if you're the tourist instead which is completely cool.
The only frustrating this is I don't know some of the London terminology when it comes to finding clues. The puzzle game got me in a bit of a tizzy because there's a clock tower and a ukelele type of guitar but I can't find the correct name for those. I know I'll get it. Eventually.
If you ask me, I'd say this game is absolutely 'stonking'! |
