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

The book explains it all.  Evil comes ever 600 years to try to steal some Holy Seals to bring evil to life.

Mind Snares Alices Journey

4 out of 5 Stars


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

I would have made it 5 Stars if not fort he ending, which just ends.

The story line is not only entertaining, but it also serves a purpose to all who forget that no matter if your Alice who has a bad boss, career and dreams that don't seem like they will ever come true.

You are reminded that the puppet master should not hold your fate, but make your own fate.

What happens when a group of boarding school gets out of land and a prank kills one of their professors in front of her son?

REVENGE!  Years later.

Your a detective who on the trail to find Emily - the lastest kid kidnapped victim.  Peter, the son has mental issues and his latest issue is belief that if he takes the souls of ten people he can bring back his mother.  Based on an old Indian tale involving a magical necklace.

You must stop him.  You go from several locations gathering items and the only tip I can give you is use the HINT button a lot and to save on time use the COMPASS (acts like a map) that tells you where you are and what room needs your attention.

Insane Cold: Back to the Ice Age

3.5 out of 5 Stars


CLICK 2 ENLARGE


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

You play Jacob who is looking for the love of his life Helen who was abducted by Frost giants right in front of his eyes as he held on to the artifact he found at his side.  The artifact activated some old time evil and they wanted it back and so.....

So you learn (somehow since the shop owner never told you about the artifact - who we never do see in the first place) you can save people souls in the medallion type object as you seek a way to save the planet from turning into another ice age.

You will need to sometimes combine items to create the item your seeking in the search games and HINT is always there.

Lots of cool animation - just one tip.  When you arrive at the scene above you don't have to go back to the other rooms as the HINTS button suggests.  I never understood why - it doesn't help you at this point of the game.  Just click on the statues arm pit area and get a ice club and move ahead with the game.

You can't get lost as you will never be jumping back for something you missed in the game, but you will be jumping from room to room for the obvious things.

Amber's Tales The Isle Of Dead Ships


WARNING:  DO NOT PURCHASE THIS GAME


What started off with a wonderful adventure story of how a mysterious boat that cursed an island to be covered in salt - turned out to have a bug in their system (as of this date) and ruined the game.

You can search though out the internet that I'm not the only one with the issue that the pearl to be placed in toe roulette wheel keeps getting bounced back.
