Been playing PC games most of my life and I'm here to voice my opinion about some of them.

Mysteryville 1

3.5 out of 5 Stars 



Category: Video Games
Genre:  Adventure, Hide and Seek
Console: PC Games


Your name is Laura now and your a journalist who wants to write an article about Mysteryville.

You have to find items in the scenes for apparently people who are to lazy or blind to find them on their own.  Some you seek via flashlight and others you really have to squint to see into the photograph.

Your adventure is the crime of some local cats are missing and no one has answers.

You meet the local waitress, a nutty professor, a creepy museum caretaker, a felon pilot, a Chinese man who loves to give you mystery potions that you don't question before taking,  a stranger, a nun that is no help and an FBI agent in your mini-story of 21 levels long.

And let's not forget the fortune teller!

This story would have been a drawn out feature if they wanted too, but the best part of the story?  The FBI agent looks like Billy Ray Cyrus in disguise.  Ha~ha.

Nancy Drew: The Silent Spy

5 out of 5 Stars




Category: Video Games
Genre:  Adventure, Puzzles
Console: PC Games

It only took 29 games in of the Nancy Drew series to finally have Nancy Drew get off her butt and investigate what exactly happened to her mother.  Was her death an accident?  Was she really dead?  Who did it?

As much as we wished one of those scenarios weren't real it was great to finally hear more about early Nancy with her mother Kate.

Welcome to Scotland!

You must still find the "bad guy/girl" but you also meet familiar faces and ones fighting on the same side as the "good guys".

The ending was special, but the outtakes weren't as funny.

Public Enemies - Bonnie and Clyde Extended Edition

4.5 out of 5 Stars





Category: Video Games
Genre:  Adventure, Hidden Games, Puzzles
Console: PC Games

The best part of the adventure is the ending where everything comes together, but listening to the story of Bonnie & Clyde and all the trouble they gave law enforcement back in the day was just as thrilling to collect.

Some of the items are located to match the darkness so lighten up your screen as much as you can, but there will be plently of HELP stars if you get stuck.
