The Hardy Boys: The Hidden Theft

from: Dreamcatcher Interactive

October 03, 2008
Many ways they can improve. Graphics are great but the story line was a little lame. Felt lost and clueless quite often. I keep in mind that the first Nancy Drew game was quite lame as well. And look how GREAT they are now. There is hope for the Hardy Boys. I would suggest playing just so you can get use to the tools and game format.

Agatha Christie: Death On The Nile

from: Dreamcatcher Interactive

October 13, 2008
As far as hidden object games go, this one is pretty good; however, I was disappointed that The Adventure Company chose to use this format for its 4th release. Be advised that you can find this exact game on many websites to download, such as [...] or Yahoo, and that it has been out for several months on the internet so don't buy a second copy of it.

Another disadvantage of the hidden object format is that it's really easy to ignore the story (although the "solution" to DOTN is fairly well known) so there isn't much motivation to interview the characters or complete the bonus rounds.

If you haven't tried any other Agatha Christie games, I would recommend "Evil Under the Sun" instead, where you actually are trying to ... Read More:

Sherlock Holmes: Nemesis

from: Dreamcatcher Interactive

April 14, 2008
I wanted to love this game and I more or less enjoyed the prior adventure, Sherlock Holmes the Awakened. This particular adventure pits Holmes against a French master-thief, Arsene Lupin, who plans to regain the honor of his country by stealing a variety of English treasures.

The graphics are much as they were for the prior game but what is interesting is the detail given to the actual historic sights. I've been to the Tower of London and it was amusing to see it in the game modeled with great attention to the layout of the place. But the graphics are hardly crisp and the human characters a bit blocky.

The voice-actors for Holmes and Watson are well done and the game captures the 'feeling' of Holmes quite well. Other ... Read More:

Murder in the Abbey

from: Dreamcatcher Interactive

August 12, 2008
what can i say that hasn't already be said, long install, too much dialogue, cartoony graphics, nice story and voice acting, i knew nothing about this game going in and was pleasently surprised at the get-go. Those of you that ahve given this game a "bad" review just has too high expecttations - kinda like i did with runaway 2 - what a disappointment that was. this game is different than many adventure games - more of a interactive cartoon story. so if you think you'd like that- get this game, if not avoid.

Sam & Max: Season One

from: Dreamcatcher Interactive

August 07, 2007
I bought this game based on the positive reviews, but I'm not sure I'm playing the same game as the other reviewers. The dialog is lame, annoying, and repetitive, not funny. Sponge Bob is funnier than this game. The puzzles are neither challenging nor interesting. If you like Myst or Syberia, you will not like this. I only could stand to play it through the first episode and beginning of the second before I decided to uninstall. Very disappointing.

Aura: Fate of the Ages

from: Dreamcatcher Interactive

June 30, 2004
This is the first puzzle game I've purchased and it was HARD. If it wasn't for the cheats and shortcuts site I found I would have never gotten past the first puzzle. The graphics are great, but again not an easy puzzle. If your a novice at puzzle games like I am stay away from this one. Wish I had found an easier game to start with that would have stirred my interest if looking for more puzzle games. Think I'll stick with my strategy games such as Pharaoh.

Keepsake

from: Dreamcatcher Interactive

April 04, 2006
I finally purchased this game after browsing the pc game shelves and reading its description in a Best Buy for the fifth time. It was pretty darn good. I was consumed into the story as soon as I opened the school's front doors. I loved the graphics! I actually wanted to be in her place just to walk around the building myself. It is a little redundant with the walking and teleporting back and forth though. On the other hand I actually liked the storyline. At least it was consistent and going somewhere. I can see myself in the future dusting it off and playing it again. I truly enjoyed it!!
