The Clockwork Man: The Hidden World - Review

The Clockwork Man: The Hidden World is everything the first game should have been. It has all of the things that made The Clockwork Man enjoyable (exquisite hand-drawn graphics, unique scrollable and zoomable scenes, cool steampunk theme, fresh and challenging puzzles) but addresses the issue of the first game's short length. Boasting six rich chapters instead of the original's scant three, The Hidden World feels like a full-fledged game and delivers a satisfying ending.

The story once again centers on aspiring engineer Miranda Calomy and her robot friend Sprocket. Miranda is searching for her parents, who disappeared eight years ago. Her search begins in an abandoned mine in Ireland, the last place her parents were seen alive, and takes her to several increasingly exotic and wondrous locations.

The Hidden World clearly assumes you've played the first Clockwork Man and dumps the player into the story a little abruptly. And to be honest, the story isn't the game's strongest point. No, you'll be playing this one for the beautiful graphics, polished hidden object/adventure gameplay and ingenious puzzles. Read more...

Hidden Mysteries: Vampire Secrets - Review

As the hidden object genre becomes more and more crowded, games have to try harder to be considered worthwhile. There's nothing really wrong with Hidden Mysteries: Vampire Secrets, it's just terribly ordinary. In a field where true standouts are emerging, Vampire Secrets' biggest crime is that it's simply not special.

You play as Claire, who decides she needs a vacation after suffering from a series of painful visions. She heads off to visit her beloved Aunt Rosie, who she discovers has mysteriously left town. Rosie, it turns out, suffers from visions of her own, and only Claire can discover the evil that is threatening the town and allow Rosie to return. It doesn't make much sense, really, but it does give Claire an excuse to prowl around the churches and lighthouses of Savannah. Read more...
