This is a favorite game for my 5 year old! He loves the Koala, and this game is affectionately known around our house as "the koala game". My kids love to gather around the computer with me to help find the list of items! And in between finding things we get to read about the various tourist spots in Australia that we are searching through... this has started many interesting conversations around the house. "Another prawn mate?"

One of the things that we like most about this hidden object game is that the pictures are not dark and dreary like so many games today. These bright sunny pictures capture our imaginations, and bring smiles to our faces! I think this is on our must have list! And it is definitely a game that the whole family is enjoying! This is a wonderful follow up to to the earlier Big City Adventure: San Francisco.

This reminded me of playing pool, but on the computer. You need to line up your shots to ricochet around the screen to gather as many pints as possible. You are only given so many shots to do so.

I have to admit that this really isn't my kind of game, but it was quite enjoyable.

Travel back in time to the late 19th century and get ready for spectacular adventures on land, sea and air together with the English daredevil Phileas Fogg and his loyal French servant Passepourtout. Use the unique chance to visit four continents and complete the inconceivable journey in this outstanding puzzler based on the classic adventure novel by Jules Verne.

* Outstanding storyline!
* Marvelous adaptation.
* Bonus animated screensaver!




This was an interesting game to play, made even more fun because of the historical story being told. I found myself rushing through the matches in order to read more of the story. You get to find pieces to the objects that are being collected in the story from the game board. After each entire piece is collected you move on to read the next part in the journal. The backgrounds are beautiful, and the story is wonderful.

This is an enjoyable way to spend some down time.

I have to say that I enjoyed this game more than all the other "fashion" time management games that have been out recently. This one at least has a sense of game to it, instead of being a busty model or having ridiculous clothing.

That being said, it did not make it to the list of must haves...
