The Great Tree Game

Reflexive just launched their 17th (!) game, The Great Tree. They have a pretty amazing track record as a company, and this game looks like an interesting entry. It's a casual game, still, although it's fairly fast paced for the usual casual audience.

At its core it's a clicking game; collect items by clicking on them, and then deposit them by clicking somewhere else. As per usual, though, the graphics are done up in 3D Reflexive style, with some truly gorgeous backgrounds and art. Looks like something to check out!

Dream Day First Home Game

The "Dream Day" series of hidden objects games continues with the latest installment. Dream Day First Home is the logical next step--Robert and Jenny move into a new home together and are faced with the common problems of a freshly-married couple. Maybe the house was a little shabby due to their budget, and they need to fix a few things up. Maybe they can't agree on decorations, or don't have the money to put up lavish items for a few months. There's always garage sales!

It seems like Dream Day First Home won't be the last game to bear the Dream Day name. Pretty soon they'll be having kids--"Dream Day Firstborn", anyone? I can hardly wait for the obvious sequels, including Dream Day Marital Crisis and Dream Day Bitter Divorce. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for those!

Mystery in London Game

Mystery in London is the continuation of the Travelogue 360 series of games. I'm not quite sure why they would abandon the T360 brand. Perhaps they felt a mystery game would be more appealing to users? Either way, this hybrid hidden object/tourist game has plenty to offer to fans of the first two titles.

Explore London via means of 360-degree panoramas, assembled together from real photos. Classic find-the-object gameplay drives this title, along with a mystery/thriller plot as you uncover a murderous secret in London. It's sure to appeal to fans of either genre!

Farm Frenzy Game

Have you ever wanted to wake up at 5am and do back-breaking manual labor all day? It's fun, honest! Well, if you don't want to do that in real life, you can always do it in a video game. Such is the power of a game. You can get all of the fun without any of the work.

In Farm Frenzy you're in charge of all aspects of the farm. Keep the animals, grow crops, and manage your financial business. If you're lucky, and profitable, you can use the money to upgrade your buildings and livestock. It's a great tycoon style game meets critter game!

Cindy's Sundaes Game

Cindy's Sundaes is finally available in wide release! The game has been out for awhile, but so far hasn't shown up on any major portals. This probably means the developer was hard at work making the game perfectly approachable for new players (ie, you!).

The concept is great--it's basically a matching game, but on top of that you can design your own desserts by earning ingredients from clearing levels. It's a tasty-looking game, to be sure, although you might want to avoid it if you're on a diet. Maybe the developer will create a version with vegetables and fruits as a sequel?

Chocolatier 2: Secret Ingredients

The new Chocolatier game from PlayFirst is out! Chocolatier 2 takes the "buy low, sell high" trading game to a delicious new level. It's basically Tradewinds, but with Chocolate. Who doesn't love that?

The sequel adds a bunch of new cities, story elements, and ingredients to make your own scrumptious treats. The production values seem high, and the first game was a hit, so this is a sure-fire way to entertain yourself this Holiday season. Enjoy your Thanksgiving, everyone!

Mystery Case Files: Madame Fate Game

The new Mystery Case Files game is here, and man is it looking rather gorgeous. This time around it's a carnival theme--a mysterious fortune teller reads her own fortune and discovers she's scheduled to die at midnight. That the mystery, of course. Who wants to kill Madame Fate? And why? Does she have enemies?

Go looking for clues in different carnival environments. The art direction is a touch psychedelic, which is awesome. I really did the look they have going on with Mystery Case Files: Madame Fate. Looks like they've managed the best themselves yet again!
