Even though it’s been out for a few weeks, I finally remembered to download the trial version of Big City Adventure - Syndey, Australia. I loved the first Big City Adventure set in San Francisco and couldn’t wait for the next installment. It was finally realized and I completely forgot about it until now.

The whole family including grandma, grandpa, mom, dad, and brother and sister are traveling to Sydney for this adventure. This hidden object game has all sorts of new objects to find. One thing that won’t be found is top wrinkle cream for grandma, but that’s really about it! There are sundials, turtles, airplanes, and boomerangs along with hundreds of other items, too. New puzzles to solve also are included that will lead you to your next destination.

Big City Adventure Sydney, Australia continues the fun adventure that was found in San Francisco. This is my favorite hidden object game franchise. It’s the only one I’ve ever completed and feel pretty sure that I will work to complete Sydney, too.

As seems to be the case every month, I have two Big Fish game credits. How incredibly generous of me to offer one to my husband since he was looking for something besides Civ III to play(Yes!).

He found an older casual game title Bookworm Adventures. Well it’s not vintage old but by casual games standards, it’s been around a while. From the looks of it, you find words then you are able to fight off the evil-doers to advance in the game. Help Lex build words that then help me battle monsters.

We always enjoyed Bookworm, and we love word games. So I’m not surprised my husband enjoys this title. Not sure if Bookworm Adventures has the staying power to stave off his desire to play Civ III, but at least he is willing to give another game a chance.

Playing electronic versions of Scrabble has been a great way to increase my skill at this word game. I’m not wild about word games since I like to keep things simple, so fancy words allude me. If I place a five letter word, I’m thrilled.

I’ve learned some crazy words since I started to play Scrabble. Did you know that Za means Pizza? That’s the cool thing about an electronic version is that it shows the definition of these crazy words. Somethings I completely guess words just by trying every combination that makes sense with my draw of letters.

So if you haven’t played Scrabble in a while or want to learn, pick up an electronic version of the game either for the PC or console. It would really help you gain some Scrabble skills.

Now here’s a game that appeals to me solely for its title. Maybe it’s because Caribbean Hideaway sounds more like one of those luxury vacations destinations that I’m always Googling.

It’s a match three game that has a tropical back story. Sail the high seas and recruit people to join you. So maybe it’s more of a ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ adventure than sunning on a tropical beach one. Either way, it’s hard to deny that these match three games are fun no matter what the premise. Still, one with a tropical theme is great for gloomy, stormy days when all I want to think about is some warm beach with a tall glass of iced cola.

Caribbean Hideaway is available at Big Fish Games or visit Romperz Games(link at top of page) to find it and more great casual games.

The Count of Monte Cristo is a hidden object game and retells the story based on Alexander Dumas’ book of the same name. You might have had to read this in high school or you might have caught a movie adapted from the book. It is a great story and is interesting to see it unfold in this hidden object game.

A lot of hidden object games have a story behind them like Mystery Case Files series but The Count of Monte Cristo is a game based on a familiar story. The story immediately begins with play. Then you have your first screen. Once you’ve completed it, more story is told and then it’s time to put together a puzzle. And so forth and so forth.

If you enjoy the hidden object games that involve a story, the check out The Count of Monte Cristo.
