Ranch Rush


Ever gathered eggs from ostriches or collected honey from bees? Help Sara turn a failed nursery into a thriving Ranch Rush with three acres of empty land. Will her clever experiments and hard work really pay off? New challenges await you on every level, while speedy upgrades give you a boost when you need them most. Rack up trophies and watch your profits grow with every achievement in this Time Management Rush.



* Time Management farming game.
* Ranch-romping levels.
* Design your own ranch!




Ranch Rush is is so much fun! Plant your crops, take care of you animals, etc and collect the produce for each day's order. What more can I say? It is your basic assign the actions and see how good you can get! Each week includes one day that is a Farmer's Market where you collect as many products as you can within the short time limit. Set it up in advance and make sure everything is full up at the end of the day before... lots of produce to collect means a great cash haul for the day!


Ranch Rush was even better than Alice Greenfingers! It feels like someone took Alice Greenfingers and made some really great improvements to it! One of my favorite differences is that you can move your fields, rather than digging them up and replanting them. The children were all involved in this one! Ranch Rush is similar to the recent Virtual Farm, but a million times better! This one is being labeled with the coveted Must Have label!

Alice Greenfingers


Step into the gardening business as Alice Greenfingers in this intriguing simulation game, where you build and decorate your own garden of flowers, animals and vegetables. Follow the market trends, learn to know your customers and sell ripe crops down at the town market to expand and get your business profitable. Sow, water and harvest a wide range of crops!

Alice Greenfingers is a delightful game where you you decide how to plant you farm. Win awards for your style and decorative abilities! Collect your produce and take it to market, and set your prices based on current demand. Occasional surprises and opportunities happen like doctor bills, and cash prizes for winning first place at the garden show. See how well you can do within 30 days!


Alice Greenfingers is a family favorite. It is a rather simple game, and a fairly short game, but it does have continued playability. Because of the creative nature to laying out your farm, it is easy to play this again and again and have a new and different experience each time. Even my boys like to try this one on their own! Check out one of the best games of 2007 for yourself!

10 Days Under The Sea


Set sail on the open seas, and help Little Carrie find her spirit. It`s been removed from her body by the ghost of a mysterious old man. Luckily she`s stumbled upon an ancient compass, but things aren`t quite as they appear. The pieces to the compass are scattered below the waves. Comb underwater scenes for hidden objects in gorgeous locations like the Sea of Japan, the Caribbean, and the Nile. Can you restore the state of things in 10 Days Under The Sea?

10 Days Under The Sea is a hidden object game that is filled with beautiful underwater scenes. While not all scenes are underwater, when you are underwater, you have a camera available to take pictures of the fish swimming by for your picture album. Between each set of scenes you get a different mini game to play. Watch the fish to catch extra hints floating by.


10 Days Under The Sea has some nice touches, like the ability to take and keep up to 100 photos in your album. On the other hand, the pitcher was a vase, and the knife looked like a cigarette. And the kids and I have decided that if we really wanted a Hidden Object game at the moment, we would simply try to find things around the house! Then again, maybe the heat is making us irritable. 100 degrees at midnight...and no air conditioning...

Fitness Frenzy was your typical time management game, but fun none the less. The characters being fun and friendly makes this a great time management for kids to get started on. It being a fairly simple game lends to that also. While it was not my favorite, Fitness Frenzy is a game I can feel good about recommending.

Ancient Quest of Saqqarah


Travel to Saqqarah, an ancient Egyptian dwelling, where an eclipse transpires every thousand years. Below this eclipse, a magical underground oasis exists under a pyramid filled with puzzles, treasures, and legends. You must fulfill an Egyptian prophecy to stop an evil god from breaking out of his tomb in this Match 3 puzzler. In order to succeed, master seven distinct types of puzzles in Ancient Quest of Saqqarah.

Ancient Quest of Saqqarah is a fascinating Match 3 puzzle! Each of the seven temples holds a different Match 3 game! At various levels in each temple you enter a mini game of finding hidden glyphs to increase the power of and unlock spells for your guide, a magical monkey.

I can't believe that I am going to recommend a Match 3 game again so soon! Ancient Quest of Saqqarah had the boys drawn in, and practically drooling over my shoulder! "Cool Mom! I would play this Match 3 game, this is my kind of game!" I don't hear things like that from the 7 year old very often! If that recommendation wasn't enough, then I will share that there is a shuffle button that you can use each time it is charged, the board automatically resets for you if there are no more moves, and if you watch closely you will notice that the game gives you hints as to moves you can make, or where hidden objects are! All in all, I think this is a fantastic game that appears to have a lot of playability for a wide range of ages!

Tradewinds Caravans

Travel along the bustling and dangerous Silk Road - an ancient trade route stretching from China to the Mediterranean Sea, trading exotic goods and engaging in real-time battles.

* Real-time battles.

Tradewinds Caravans is a spectacular sequel! You can find Tradewinds 2 here, and Tradewinds Legends here.

In the cities you can hire fighters, see the healer, purchase caravan animals to carry your wares, and browse the market buying low and selling high! As your story unfolds you are lead from place to place attempting to trade and earn taels (money) along your journeys.



I had a blast with this game! What a fantastic way to start your kids on the concept of being prepared for a journey, managing the care of others, and the age old concept of 'buy low and sell high'! My children were drawn in by the gorgeous artwork of the cities, and the boys loved the battles! I highly recommend Tradewinds Caravans!

I love the way Wedding Dash2: Rings Around the World adds new elements that are familiar friends, like Flo! Is it possible to get tired of playing games? Maybe it is just that it is 90 degrees in the house with the little air conditioner going full blast! Everybody gave this a thumbs up from where they were lying around panting!

Along the way collect food and toy objects to help keep the animals on a sunny mood!


Kiss Me just might be too sweet! Fluffy cotton candy colors, make this the friendliest game I have seen in a while! Personally, I think this game should be listed among the kid games...or held to be released on Valentine's Day! It is a wonderful simple game of cute characters, and friendly screens, that teaches to solve simple puzzles to match up pairs... sounds like a good preschool to primary game (depending on the kid)! My five year old loved it!

Add your favorite tunes and bop to your own MP3 tracks. Can`t play one-on-one with loved ones? Just add their photos to your personalized backgrounds or invite up to four people to play.

Chicken Track, and my favorite, Mexican Train! Choose from one to three other players, and then upload your own pictures for each player! You can even install your own backgrounds, and music tracks! Choose from over 25 different domino styles!


I think Dominoes is a great game for children to learn. A great way to add math to your homeschooling (unschooling) day! Buku Dominoes gives you a great opportunity to do this without worrying about missing pieces! One of the advantages to playing with a computer, is that the computer shows you your options for plays...which is great when you are learning a new game! Dominoes is best played conversation, but I'll take Buku Dominoes as a close second!

The Three Stooges: Treasure Hunt Hijinks was full of slap stick comedy, which I personally can not stand. The boys were slightly amused by it, but left after a short while in search of something else to do.

Elias The Mighty


Based on the legendary Russian folk hero, Elias the Mighty is a thrilling Arcade-Puzzle game based on shape recognition. Match the objects with their corresponding shapes to keep Elias and fellow characters strong. Use food to increase the power of your character. Their health will fade fast without your Puzzle expertise. Collect gems and spend your riches on more items. Fight alongside Elias the Mighty in a storyline steeped with tradition.



* Fun shape recognition.
* Variety of locations to visit.
* Help Elias save his horse!



Elias The Mighty is a great Match Three game. I love the bright colors and shape recognition aspects of this game! Each level presents different shapes. Similar to the puzzle inlays, you need to take the pieces from the bottom of the screen and place them in the ever moving birch bark rows. The bottom row of pieces replenishes itself with each piece you take out.


Elias The Mighty is a game that everyone at least stopped by to see what Mom was doing! I think that while the shape recognition is great for developing math skills, the fast pace of the rows might make it frustrating for the younger crowd.

Rock Tour

Work with a local band that has major potential to top the charts. Promote them and outfit them in the latest gear.

Find out in this jammin` Time Management game.



* Take charge of a local band.

You won't find Rock Tour at anywhere but Big Fish Games. Check out their latest exclusive!
Rock Tour is an awesome Time Management game for anyone who has ever dreamed of managing a band. Make sure the band members are practicing, or maybe working on the next song. Don't forget they need time to just chill. Do this in between booking gigs, and managing terms and advertising.


Rock Tour is not quite my style, but I'm giving it a thumbs up anyways. I could see it being a really enjoyable game, just not in my household. It didn't have enough "in your face action" for my kids!

The Secret of Margrave Manor


Dusty drapes and ancient chandeliers dot the spooky Margrave Manor house. As Edwina Margrave, you must find your grandfather who`s been missing for ten years. Your only clue to his whereabouts is a strange door with an odd puzzle to unlock. In each room, collect hidden objects and view your strange medley in the collection room. Margrave Manor is the only Hidden Object game that changes the positions of the items every time you visit a room, so you`ll always have a fresh challenge. Can you discover your family`s forgotten past?



* An eerie Hidden Object game.
* Spooky searchable rooms.
* Find the family secret!



In the Secret of Margrave Manor, you play Edwina Margrave. Search your grandfather's house for pieces of the missing family crest to unlock the mysterious door. Discover where your grandfather disappeared to ten years ago, and why you were called to his house now. Along the way there are a few mini games of fitting together torn pieces of paper from journals and newspapers.

I enjoyed the story line of The Secret of Margrave Manor, and how the story played out. The time between screens is unfortunately black with no music or loading message, leaving you wondering if the game has shut down, but that is the only drawback I found to the game. You are automatically given one hint every three minutes of the game, but use them wisely since the count never goes above three. A game that encourages you to use your hints, instead of saving them up. I think that is a unique twist!

Virtual Farm


Yee-haw. Slip into the tractor seat and turn a small farm into a booming business. Choose your Virtual Farm crops, then till your ground and water your fields. Harvest your produce and take your goods to market. Once there, set the prices and keep a close eye on demand. With tons of upgrades to earn, you`ve got plenty of customers to satisfy in this hillbilly Time Management game. Virtual Farm will have your entire family squealing like, well, pigs.



* Hillbilly Time Management game.
* Multiple kinds of crops to grow.
* Build a booming farm business!




Virtual Farm is an amusing way to relax and spend a few minutes. Bring back the farm that your father left you. Start with the grass and some rusty old tools, and slowly till land to plant new seeds. Sell your products at market to earn money to upgrade your tools, buy new seeds, and build processing plants. Don't forget to adjust your prices as the market demand changes.


I really enjoyed Virtual Farm. It reminded me a bit of Alice Greenfingers, with the addition of animals as well as plants. It had gentle music, and enough draw that all the kids came over to see what it was and then stay and watch. Virtual Farm is another winner in the everyone likes it category!
Update 6-30-08: After buying the game and continuing to play it, Virtual Farm has lost it's appeal. It never really changes, and you are stuck doing the same things over and over without a goal to aim for. Alice Greenfingers is a favorite in my house, even though we have finished the game several times each. If you want something similar to Virtual Farm (but with good playability), I suggest looking into Alice Greenfingers, or what I just called an improved version of Alice Greenfingers, Ranch Rush!
Check out my reviews here: Alice Greenfingers and Ranch Rush

Mystery Stories: Island of Hope


Top New York journalist Michelle Deanfield is finally taking a much needed Caribbean vacation. Join her on the white sands amidst the magic of the Mayan culture, steeped in legend and divinity. Not to mention, a good-looking diving instructor in her view. Everything is rosy for Michelle, that is, until the curse strikes and a museum casket goes missing. The natives claim it`s a curse from old spirits, but Michelle sets out to prove otherwise in this Hidden Object game. Will she uncover a network of lies in Mystery Stories: Island of Hope?



* Exotic Hidden Object game.
* Wonderful bonus levels.
* Solve the island scandal!



Mystery Stories: Island of Hope does not sound like an exciting name for this hidden object game, and certainly does not do it justice. Go in search of Mayan artifacts with a professor and an “oh too cute for words scuba diver with a boat”. Solve mini puzzles within the hidden object screens. Mystery Stories: Island of Hope gets you using all of your senses to find hidden objects. There are even levels whee you need to identify the hidden objects by the sounds they make... audio clips for clues anyone?


Mystery Stories: Island of Hope was definitely a unique hidden object experience. My daughter, being a very audio person, absolutely loved the audio clues! I found the puzzles within the screens to be an interesting change of pace, and the extra bonus items hidden throughout uniquely represented. This was an enjoyable game! Don't bother looking for this game anywhere else... this one is a Big Fish Exclusive!

Sherlock Holmes: The Mystery of the Persian Carpet

Hunker down at your flat at 221b Baker St. in London. The year is 1896, and Scotland Yard has called Sherlock Holmes with an urgent request for help.
