A strange marking has appeared on your friends hand and you, playing as Alexia, are the only one with the knowledge and skills to decipher the ancient symbol and investigate the origins, so that a deadly curse can be broken.</em></p>
<p><em>The story sounds good and it is, without too much kerfuffle, the game moves along true to the story line right to the end. Dialogue is kept to a minimum, allowing you to get involved in the story without too much information bogging you down. Hidden objects are not too hard to find plus with the use of a magnifying glass, things look bigger and bolder to the poorest of eyes…</em></p>
<p><em>…Lost Realms The Curse of Babylon graphics are superb and you can turn the sound down, or completely off if you find it a tad annoying. Mini games can be skipped with a penalty of one hint, yet some mini games must be played in order to receive inventory items…</em></p>
<p><em>…Lost Realms The Curse of Babylon is good value and a nice challenge without being too hard. Not exactly a Ravenhearst, but good story, good graphics and good length. What more could a fan of interactive hidden object games ask for? Download the free demo and see if this is one for you.&#8221;<br />

<p><em><a title="Elementals – The Magic Key" href="http://www.bigfishgames.com/download-games/6562/elementals-the-magic-key/index.html?afcode=aff0f128d69a" target="_blank"><img style=' float: right; padding: 4px; margin: 0 0 2px 7px;'  class="alignright size-full wp-image-2619" title="Elementals – The Magic Key" src="http://www.freegamesnews.com/en/downloadgames/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/elementals-the-magic-key-300-2.jpg" alt="Elementals – The Magic Key" width="300" height="225" /></a>&#8220;Right from the first scene, Elementals The Magic Key stamps itself as a true interactive adventure game, not just another good hidden object offering with mini puzzles to solve. Your interaction is required within the first scene immediately and instinctively you feel that this game is going to be good IHOG. </em></p>
<p><em>In each scene you will be given a list of goals to complete. In usual fashion, your cursor will change shape over objects and items that are useful, it will change to a eye if the items needs to be looked at more closely, gears to place objects from inventory or perform actions and so on. Objects may sparkle indicating you need to pay some form of attention to them. You will find a friend, called Felly, that will tag along and help you when the going gets tough. Actually Felly is like the hint button, and while the game has unlimited hints, you do have to wait for it to recharge after using a hint. ..</em></p>
<p><em>&#8230;Elementals The Magic Key graphics are superb and the entire production first rate. While it is challenging, it isn&#8217;t too difficult and mini games and puzzles can be skipped if they are proving to be too tough at that time. The good part is you can always go back and replay the puzzles as a bonus feature of the game.</em></p>
<p><em>Elementals The Magic Key is highly recommended with good length and is right up there with the best games produced in the interactive adventure genre. There are 7 chapters, 30 mini games and puzzles to complete, plus 14 battles that are entwined within the main game and 6 bonus battles that are unlocked after you complete those. Play Elementals The Magic Key IHOG soon. You won&#8217;t be sorry.&#8221;</em></p>

<p><em>&#8220;&#8230;Elementals: The Magic Key is a new hidden object adventure game from Lucky Soft. It can be described as just a tad Iblardesque, due to the floating sky islands that make up the fantasy world of Eiron in which the game is set. You play the character of Albert, a young neophyte magician in training at the Academy, a school for conjurers, magicians, sorcerers, and wizards. As two of the few students at the school, you and your much more intelligent sister Lillian have free reign of the campus&#8230; until a disgraced former student (seeking revenge, as disgraced former students always do) returns and kidnaps your sister! Not only that, but the big-eared, green-stripe-in-his-hair bully breaks the Great Key of Eiron into its six base elemental pieces! I needn&#8217;t point out that such a fracture can only spell trouble for the delicate balance of elements in the world! It&#8217;s up to you as Albert - and your (also much more intelligent) familiar and sidekick Felly - to recover the fragments and save Lillian&#8230;</em></p>
<p><em>&#8230;Like many hidden object adventure games, you have an inventory that fills up with items you can later select to use on objects in the background. Mousing over the scene often reveals objects that can be interacted with, signalled by a change in the mouse pointer. A set of gears means the object can be manipulated somehow, a set of boots means it&#8217;s an exit, a mouth means it&#8217;s someone (or something) you can talk to, etc. Many, many miscellaneous and extraneous bits of scenery can be clicked on for a description, a neat effect that I wish many other games would copy&#8230;</em></p>
<p><em>&#8230;Elementals: The Magic Key is a gorgeous-looking game and I found its story and world to be very well thought out, but also unengaging and slow to get into. The game throws so many new fantasy elements at the player at once that it&#8217;s hard to care about all of them. In fact I didn&#8217;t even realize that Albert was actually in the Academy building (as opposed to his own home) until the game mentioned that the library we were about to enter was the Academy library. But I did eventually get into the story, to which I can only credit the excellent artwork.&#8221;</em></p>

<p><em><a title="The Tudors" href="http://www.bigfishgames.com/download-games/6536/the-tudors/index.html?afcode=aff0f128d69a" target="_blank"><img style=' float: right; padding: 4px; margin: 0 0 2px 7px;'  class="alignright size-full wp-image-2628" title="The Tudors" src="http://www.freegamesnews.com/en/downloadgames/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/the-tudors-300-2.jpg" alt="The Tudors" width="300" height="225" /></a>&#8220;Based on the television series, The Tudors, this latest hidden object game from Merscom has you involved in a fabulous story of betrayal and treason as a spy for King Henry VIII. For history buffs, King Henry VIII ruled England between 1491 and 1547. Henry the Eighth was probably best know for having six wives, two of which he had beheaded for treasonous acts, and for his role in the separation of the Church of England from the Catholic Church. He was a colorful and controversial King, loved by some, feared by others and totally detested by many. Henry VIII was the second monarch in the Tudor family royal lineage and succeeded his father Henry VII to the throne.</em></p>
<p><em>In this very historical hidden object game, playing as Elena Sedgraves, you will travel across England and Europe, finding clues and uncovering assassination plots and threats against the British throne. There are political conspiracies afoot and the enemies of Henry VIII are gathering strength to bring his rule to an end. You must use all your logic abilities and sniff out the cunning plots so that England, and our dear Henry, are kept safe&#8230;</em></p>
<p><em>…As a classic hidden object game, The Tudors is a good play, with nice length, good graphics and historical story line. It isn&#8217;t one of the new breed of IHOGS, so if you like a lot more interaction, you may find this classic hidden object game a tad boring. Try the free download, as usual your opinion may differ from ours. We give this one a good thumbs up and really enjoyed a trip down the historical path.&#8221;</em></p>

To commemorate the occasion, a replica vessel dubbed the Titanic II has been built. The ship will sail across the Atlantic, hoping to complete the journey that its predecessor began one hundred years ago. The people running the ship have even gone to the trouble of tracking down descendants of the original passengers and inviting them on board.</em></p>
<p><em>Don&#8217;t we teach history class in school in hopes of avoiding situations like this? Isn&#8217;t the point of studying history to learn from our mistakes so that we won&#8217;t repeat them? Nevertheless, this is an entertaining premise for a story. If this were happening in real life, I would probably be upset, but in the confines of a computer game, I find myself pretty entertained by it all…</em></p>
<p><em>…The audio in 1912 Titanic Mystery, both the soundtrack and the sound effects, is a joy to listen to. The music is soothing and very fitting for the game&#8217;s theme, and the sound effects are lively and cheerful…</em></p>
<p><em>…1912 Titanic Mystery is a fun and entertaining hidden objects game with a plot well rooted in factual history. It may be a little silly, but it will have you glued to your seat pretty early on.&#8221;<br />
</em></p>
<p><a href="http://www.gamezebo.com/games/1912-titanic-mystery/review" target="_blank">Gamezebo </a></p>
<p><em>&#8220;The story of the Titanic is an infamous tale of tragedy, loss, and the unthinkable. In 1912 Titanic Mystery, the birth of the Titanic II 100 years after the sinking of the legendary leviathan brings promise of reconciliation by completing the vessel&#8217;s original maiden voyage. However, not all is as it seems when threat of a bomb surfaces. It&#8217;s up to you to stop it in this new hidden object game from Suricate Software.</em></p>
<p><em>The Titanic II is a vessel based directly off the original, only updated with modern technology. At the beginning of the story you&#8217;ll be introduced to six members of the crew. With very little known except that you&#8217;re a descendant of one of the original passengers, the story soon unfolds into something much more dramatic when one of the six crew members, identity unknown, informs you there&#8217;s a bomb on board. In order to have any chance of preventing the sinking of the Titantic II, you must find and follow the clues left by the mystery bomber and eventually try to find and deactivate the bomb&#8230;</em></p>
<p><em>&#8230;The game itself does a masterful job of storytelling, though, with the game growing more intense as you progress through each area. Instead of it being told live, you&#8217;ll be reading it as you collect diary entries from a woman on board the original Titanic during the maiden voyage. The story is anything but shallow, and soon grows into a very personal and enthralling account of the simple life, the past, love, and survival. But the entries aren&#8217;t just a nice touch of storytelling and involvement: they tie directly into the present and the situation with the bomb.</em></p>
<p><em>Overall, 1912 Titanic Mystery is a game with average gameplay, but an interesting story that helps to make the experience a little more interesting.&#8221;</em></p>

<p><em><a title="Valerie Porter and the Scarlet Scandal" href="http://www.bigfishgames.com/download-games/6576/valerie-porter-and-the-scarlet-scandal/index.html?afcode=aff0f128d69a" target="_blank"><img style=' float: right; padding: 4px; margin: 0 0 2px 7px;'  class="alignright size-full wp-image-2640" title="Valerie Porter and the Scarlet Scandal" src="http://www.freegamesnews.com/en/downloadgames/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/valerie-porter-300-2.jpg" alt="Valerie Porter and the Scarlet Scandal" width="300" height="225" /></a>&#8220;&#8230;Valerie Porter is a hidden object adventure game, and quite an active one at that. Like most hidden object games, gameplay primarily involves searching a scene strewn with all manner of knickknacks and junk. You have a list of specific objects to find; clicking on one of these items removes it from the scene and your list. After finding all the objects, you move to the next scene. And so on. Hidden object games are the most popular casual games&#8230;</em></p>
<p><em>…Though technically Valerie Porter is a hidden object adventure game, it&#8217;s a limited one with an inventory/puzzle system confined to individual scenes. Among your list of items to find you&#8217;ll see tasks or items written in red script. These require some sort of interaction between an item in your inventory and a portion of the scene. Using a key to unlock a filing cabinet in order to deposit a file, for example…</em></p>
<p><em>…The game was most impressive with these rather clever minigames… Equally impressive are the character voice overs; almost every line is spoken, which helps animate the slightly predictable plot…</em></p>
<p><em>…However, I can&#8217;t give out all gold stars&#8230; the game is displayed in the inexcusably low resolution of 800&#215;600 pixels! Though there are few tiny objects to get muddled at that resolution, now and then I had to waste a hint on an object (some rosary beads resting on a plate of food) that I probably would have been able to spot at 1024&#215;768 or higher. Probably. Maybe. It&#8217;s 2009, friends! We&#8217;ve all got newer computers that blur images when they&#8217;re upsampled to our monitors&#8217; native screen depths!&#8221;<br />

<p><em><a title="Hidden Magic" href="http://www.bigfishgames.com/download-games/6498/hidden-magic/index.html?afcode=aff0f128d69a" target="_blank"><img style=' float: right; padding: 4px; margin: 0 0 2px 7px;'  class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2631" title="Hidden Magic" src="http://www.freegamesnews.com/en/downloadgames/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/hidden-magic-300-2.jpg" alt="Hidden Magic" width="300" height="225" /></a>&#8220;First you better know just what is a Mage. A Mage is a sorcerer or magician, said to be of good intentions, trying to live free from evil. Perhaps you know one yourself, as they like to live normal lives, doing only good deeds, using their knowledge of magical powers and potent spells to combat evil.</em></p>
<p><em>Hidden Magic hidden object game takes you into the lives of 2 Mages who live in a modest cottage close to the dark forest. They simply wish to share their strong love for each other and together live long peaceful lives. Their world is shattered when evil goblins, who are puppets of and even more dark and sinister force, kidnap one of the Mages while the other is away picking berries. Now you must follow the trail left by a torn map into the dark forest, using your magic potions and considerable strategy skills to free your love&#8230;</em></p>
<p><em>…With 48 levels, 2 different character roles, mini games to play and battles to win, plus the several game modes, Hidden Magic takes some time to complete. The only glitch seems to be finding a missing acorn that just doesn&#8217;t exist at all anywhere in the game. Other than that this game is good and we recommend trying the usual free download version, playing the hour trial to see if it&#8217;s one for you. Hidden Magic is a nice IHOG adventure, not too difficult in relaxed mode, yet quite challenging in advanced mode.&#8221;</em></p>
<p><a href="http://www.casualexplosion.com/puzzle/hidden-magic/" target="_blank">Casual Explosion</a></p>
<p><em>&#8220;Hidden Magic, from Dekovir Entertainment, is a hidden object role-playing battle game. You play either a male or female mage searching for your wife or husband, recently kidnapped by goblins while you were out picking raspberries (in the middle of the night). While your beloved was sleeping, a troup of goblins broke in, bagged him or her, and quickly disappeared back into the woods. Returning to your forest hut, you find evidence of goblins and a torn up map revealing where they were headed - a black tower on the other side of the world! That can&#8217;t be good…</em></p>
<p><em>…Between you and the black tower is a meandering path full of dangerous foes. Luckily you know a few magical spells, and the bottomless bag of alchemist items you carry allows you to do battle with any evil creature you may meet along your quest. These encounters make up the majority of the gameplay in Hidden Magic. You&#8217;ll be following the map when all of a sudden a Smokey Seeker or Zombie or Witch will pop out and attack. If you&#8217;re a match-3 game fan, you might recognize the inspiration for this system in games like Puzzle Quest…</em></p>
<p><em>…A varied amount of minigames are also present in Hidden Magic. You&#8217;ll run across puzzles, match-3 boards, memory boards, cryptograms, and more…&#8221;</em></p>

Marooned?</h4>
</div>
<p><a href="http://www.gamezebo.com/games/marooned/review" target="_blank">Gamezebo</a></p>
<p><em><a title="Marooned" href="http://www.playfirst.com/game/marooned?q=AFFGNW_" target="_blank"><img style=' float: right; padding: 4px; margin: 0 0 2px 7px;'  class="alignright size-full wp-image-2623" title="Marooned" src="http://www.freegamesnews.com/en/downloadgames/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/marooned-300-2.jpg" alt="Marooned" width="300" height="225" /></a>&#8220;You awaken on an island with no memory of who you are or why you&#8217;re there. What is this place? There were clearly scientists working here at one time - where have they all gone? What was the purpose of their experiments? Most importantly, how are you going to get home? These are just some of the questions you&#8217;ll confront as you struggle to regain your memory in the hidden object game, Marooned.</em></p>
<p><em>You&#8217;ll investigate every inch of the island in your efforts to regain your memory, slowly piecing together the bread crumbs of information left behind. The island isn&#8217;t particularly big, however, so you&#8217;ll revisit each location many times: three times for hidden object searches, and a few other times to uncover key objects you&#8217;ll need to continue further…</em></p>
<p><em>…The mystery of Marooned, involving an ancient civilization&#8217;s unusual power source, is a darn good one and will keep you intrigued as you work your way around the island&#8217;s various locations. Sorting through the bric-a-brac left behind by the science team, you quickly learn that you yourself are a scientist of some renown…</em></p>
<p><em>…Marooned is certainly an enjoyable experience, with a fun mystery and decent voice acting from its main character, but its low difficulty level and short length make it tough to recommend as a full purchase. Keep your eyes peeled for a bundle of the full trilogy - that&#8217;ll probably be a more satisfying way to visit this game.&#8221;</em></p>

But the game simply doesn&#8217;t do these things as well as many of the games that it borrows its ideas from.</em></p>
<p><em>The game begins when Alexandra&#8217;s grandfather, a renowned adventurer, disappears unexpectedly, leaving behind his journal. The journal contains many references to a secret place called the Lunar Archipelago, and sketches in it look very similar to an amulet that Alexandra&#8217;s grandfather gave her when she was a girl. Alexandra sets off to solve the mystery of the Lunar Archipelago and hopefully find her missing grandfather in the process&#8230;</em></p>
<p><em>…On the plus side, the graphics aren&#8217;t bad. The locations are bright, and for the most part you won&#8217;t find yourself squinting trying to find items that are ridiculously small or blurry. But there&#8217;s nothing terribly unique about the nondescript ruins and generic jungles and temples. In truth, nothing about Alexandra Fortune really sets it apart from other similar games. It&#8217;s perfectly playable and not a frustrating game at all, but a lack of compelling story or unique puzzles means it&#8217;s not a title that you&#8217;re going to remember in a few weeks, or want to play a second time.&#8221;</em></p>

<p><em><a title="The Conjurer: A Magical Mystery" href="http://www.playfirst.com/game/the-conjurer?q=AFFGNW_" target="_blank"><img style=' float: right; padding: 4px; margin: 0 0 2px 7px;'  class="alignright size-full wp-image-2609" title="The Conjurer: A Magical Mystery" src="http://www.freegamesnews.com/en/downloadgames/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/the-conjurer-300-2.jpg" alt="The Conjurer: A Magical Mystery" width="300" height="225" /></a>&#8220;Some hidden object games, naturally, are better than others. And now we&#8217;ve got The Conjurer: A Magical Mystery, a very good but not flawless &#8220;HOG&#8221; from GameHouse. When it comes to production values, personality and story, this new game delivers the goods, but falls short in other areas.</em></p>
<p><em>The story surrounding this adventure follows the world&#8217;s greatest magician, the Conjurer, who decides to retire - but not before he delivers one final performance at his mysterious Victorian-era mansion - and you&#8217;re invited to the legendary show. But there&#8217;s also a catch: the illusionist has also issued a challenge to ten other top magicians, such as &#8220;Inkwell the Incredible,&#8221; to perform at this retirement party, and whoever impresses the most will inherit the Conjurer&#8217;s coveted secrets. There&#8217;s more to the tale, too, including assassination attempts against the host, but we&#8217;ll let you unravel all the details yourself&#8230;</em></p>
<p><em>&#8230;If you can forgive […] minor issues, The Conjurer, with its high production, enjoyable story and fun HOG searching, should prove to be a better-than-average HOG puzzler for those looking for a weekend-long diversion.&#8221;</em><br />
<a href="http://www.casualexplosion.com/puzzle/the-conjurer/" target="_blank"><br />
Casual Explosion</a></p>
<p><em>&#8220;…The Conjurer is a hidden object adventure game, of sorts. Though you have an inventory of collected objects, you don&#8217;t directly use them to solve puzzles or unlock new areas. They merely represent props needed for each of the magicians&#8217; signature tricks. Notes about each magician and the Conjurer himself are saved in his own journal (written in invisible ink, of course!) that you quickly find in your investigation…</em></p>
<p><em>…The Conjurer is quite generous with hints, and would make an excellent first hidden object game for someone new to the genre. Clicking on any word in your grocery list of hidden objects reveals its silhouette - perfect if you want to know whether you&#8217;re looking for a baseball &#8220;bat&#8221; or flying mammal &#8220;bat&#8221; - or even just to see whether a spear is aligned horizontally or vertically. You also have a crystal ball that you can click on to show you the location of an object. This can be reused as often as you like, but it takes perhaps twenty seconds to recharge between uses. So-called &#8220;super hints&#8221; are also given out, one per magician suspect, that can tell you the exact location of a specific object. These don&#8217;t carry over into future magicians&#8217; chapters, so use them while you&#8217;ve got them…</em></p>
<p><em>… Overall, I was very impressed with The Conjurer: A Magical Mystery. The hidden object scenes have been assembled well, with only a touch of clipartitis, and the story of Archibald, Adelaide, Alexandria, etc. actually really interested me. Perhaps it&#8217;s just my love of the &#8220;strangers invited to a secluded spot and one of them is a killer&#8221; genre&#8230; or the really exemplary chicken sandwich I had for lunch, but I enjoyed this game much more than I expected. Even though it&#8217;s not as clever as full-on inventory style object manipulation hidden object game adventures, the magic tricks are fun and I had a blast.&#8221;</em></p>

<p><em><a title="Big City Adventure: New York" href="http://www.bigfishgames.com/download-games/6547/big-city-adventure-new-york/index.html?afcode=aff0f128d69a" target="_blank"><img style=' float: right; padding: 4px; margin: 0 0 2px 7px;'  class="alignright size-full wp-image-2604" title="Big City Adventure: New York" src="http://www.freegamesnews.com/en/downloadgames/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/big-city-adventure-ny-300-2.jpg" alt="Big City Adventure: New York" width="300" height="225" /></a>&#8220;Hidden object game Big City Adventure: New York City is rather a lot like Manhattan itself: very large and with an overwhelming number of things to see and do. It can be a bit aggravating at times, but what trip to the Big Apple isn&#8217;t?</em></p>
<p><em>After touring San Francisco and Sydney, your family has decided to take in the sights of New York City, hitting hot spots like Wall Street, Chinatown, Little Italy, and Harlem. At each stop, you&#8217;ll scan the area for a list of hidden items. At least two of the items will be hidden in special areas that you&#8217;ll have to zoom in on to search, but both the special spot and the objects are indicated in blue, so that you&#8217;re not left searching in vain. The items are well hidden, but never unfairly, so a keen eye and patience will spell success. Hint coins will help you through those moments when you&#8217;re just plain stumped; you can only hold five at a time, but when your supply drops, a fresh batch will be hidden in your next location&#8230;</em></p>
<p><em>&#8230;One feature that makes Big City Adventure: New York City particularly fun to play is its Quick Continue option, which lets you skip the tallying up of your end-of-level bonus and just get on with playing. If you want to take the moment to exult in your point-accruing success, you can, but if you&#8217;d rather just bank the points and get on with things, the Quick Continue option is a fantastic and welcome shortcut&#8230;</em></p>
<p><em>&#8230;The construction is repetitive (hidden object level, puzzle, hidden object level, puzzle), but there are so many levels that it&#8217;s a game you&#8217;re going to want to take your time with, anyway. The voice acting in the intro cut scene is painful, but once that&#8217;s out of the way, you have plenty of hidden object goodness awaiting you. Pack your bags - let&#8217;s hit the town!&#8221;</em></p>
<p><a href="http://jayisgames.com/archives/2009/11/big_city_adventure_new_york.php" target="_blank">JayisGames </a></p>
<p><em>&#8220;&#8230;Like its predecessors (San Francisco and Sydney), Big City Adventure: New York is a pure hidden object game, composed entirely of hidden object scenes dotted with a rotating series of mini-games&#8230;</em></p>
<p><em>&#8230;Gameplay is very straightforward, so the opening tutorial is almost unnecessary. Each scene and mini-game is timed, and you gain points for every found object. Bonus points are awarded for quick-finds and time remaining at the end of the scene, so speed is greatly rewarded. Be warned: multiple wrong clicks steal 30 seconds off of the clock! There are hint coins in each scene which can show you objects or even add time to the counter. If minding the minutes isn&#8217;t your thing, you can skip the timer and play a relaxed, untimed mode&#8230;</em></p>
<p><em>&#8230;Big City Adventure: New York contains a staggering 90 HOG scenes (30 locations, each one visited three times), with mini-games between each scene. Even if you are the quickest hidden object fiend on the planet, you&#8217;re still looking at a minimum of four hours gameplay. Most of us are looking at lots more&#8230;</em></p>
<p><em>&#8230;After so many recent disappointments in the length of casual games (especially the HOG games), it&#8217;s nice to find a game that instead is ready to offer you hours and hours of fun, casual gameplay&#8230;&#8221;</em></p>
