Little Shop Road Trip Little Shop Road Trip – It’s time to hit the road in search of the perfect items you can sell in your little shop back home. Travel from Seattle all the way to Miami’s South Beach, making stops all along the way to famous destinations like Mount Rushmore, Niagara Falls, the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone Park  and more.

Aloha TripeaksAloha Tripeaks – The next installment of the Aloha game series (Remember the card matching Mahjong game, Aloha Solitaire?) is Aloha Tripeaks, where players take a balloon ride over the Hawaiian Islands and play 70 levels of solitaire card games. The game is based on the classic “Pyramid Golf” solitaire game, where gamers build on the tableau’s stock pile with cards that are one value higher or lower to the face up  card, either ascending or descending. To win the level, eliminate all cards on the tableau, moving them to the stock pile. The cool difference here is when you’re stuck and there are no more moves, your handy bonuses can save you! The game also features interesting trivia about the Hawaiian Islands. Download it

Sparkle Sparkle – Sparkle is one my favorite and most addictive Luxor-like games where you exert your aiming skills to free the Crowberry Woods from the shadow of Darkness. Use your Orb Slinger to shoot colorful spheres into groups of three or more of the same color, which clears the chain of orbs from the board – and in doing so, reclaim every corner of the verdant forest. Pick up amazing amulets and sparkling power-ups hidden along the shaded path. Download it

Thomas and the Magical WordsThomas and the Magical Words – Combining Scrabble with arcade gaming and a little Harry Potter thrown in, Thomas and the Magical Words will keep word gamers, kids and adults alike, entertained for hours. Tommy has been thrown in a book of spells by his uncle and it’s up to you to help him escape his imprisonment by creating a word path to exit the book. Download it

Treasure Seekers The Enchanted CanvasesTreasure Seekers The Enchanted Canvases – Treasure Seekers The Enchanted Canvases takes you to a Romanian castle where Nelly’s brother, Tom, was last seen trying to find the Philosopher’s Stone, a relic with mystical powers. She soon realizes the only way to find him is to step inside each painting hanging on the wall and interact with the characters on these magical canvases, who will then reveal clues that will bring her closer to finding Tom. Solve adventure quests with hidden object challenges to break the castle’s spell, find Tom and discover the secrets of the Philosopher’s Stone. Download it

Create a Mall

Create a Mall macWhen I shop at a mall, I always see room for improvement there, wherever it may be. It usually comes in the form of me exclaiming, “Where’s H&M or Anthropologie?” Or, “Why don’t they have The Container Store or BCBG in this mall?” “Where’s Hotdog On A Stick? I want a lemonade!” And lastly, “Where on earth is BEST BUY!??” Now I can put my complaints aside and create my own ideal mall with this Mac game. The only way to do it right is to do it yourself! Sim gamers who’ve loved games like Build a Lot and Be a King will really get into Create a Mall. As the name of the game suggests, your primary task is to create successful malls across the country. Hire workers, purchase materials and build more stores and enhancements to each mall of your creation. Features six cities to build malls, 22 different kinds of stores and 40 medals and trophies.

The TudorsThe Tudors – The Royal House of Tudor ruled the Kingdom of England and its realms, including the Lordship and Kingdom of Ireland, from 1485 until 1603.

My Kingdom for the PrincessMy Kingdom for the Princess – In this simulation meets time-management game, a wicked tornado has hit the kingdom swirling around people, animals, trees, roads, hamlets and more.

Agatha Christie Peril at End House

Agatha Christie - Peril at End House for mac“I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.” ~Agatha Christie

As the best-selling writer of books of all time and the best-selling writer of any kind, Agatha Christie has influenced not only her loyal readers but unsuspecting audiences as well. Her works have been adapted into cartoons, anime, films, stage works, television series  (Poirot, Miss Marple, etc.) and games. The game takes its inspiration from the original novel of the same name, Peril at End House, A Hercule Poirot Mystery, which was written 76 years ago. In typical Agatha Christie fashion, this Mac game is also a “whodunit” using I-Spy, hidden objects game play. In order to solve this murder mystery, gamers are to play through dozens of fun puzzles. Nick Buckley is the last in a long line of Buckleys living at End House, an enormous and isolated estate overlooking the cliffs of St. Loo. Following several attempts on Nick’s life, the famous Belgian detective Hercule Poirot steps in to find out who the killer is and vows to unravel their motives before it’s too late.

Escape the Museum 2

Escape the Museum 2 for macYou might remember in Escape the Museum, you were playing a hidden object game from Susan’s point of view as she searched through artifacts in the crumbled museum while also looking for her daughter, Caitlyn.

Fun Friday of Five Mac Games for Halloween Part 1

Campfire Legends: The HookmanCampfire Legends: The Hookman – Get ready to be frightened…and entertained all at once. Just in time for Halloween, Campfire Legends: The Hookman delivers a hidden objects, point and click adventure that will keep you at the edge of your seat, and you’ll love every minute of having the daylights scared out of you. Christine and her sweetie take a short trip for a romantic getaway at her parents’ cabin in the woods. Upon their arrival they find the cabin ransacked and their belongings and other items scattered every which way. As they try to return everything in order, the long, long night begins to reveal that someone is lurking about. Prepare yourself because you might hear a lot of screaming…coming from your own mouth!  Download it

Ashley Jones and the Heart of EgyptPlants vs. Zombies – In a war between plants and zombies, you’d imagine that the little vegetation soldiers would not have a chance. Not so, not so! Well, not necessarily so. It’s up to you. The cutest zombies you’ve ever seen are heading towards your house to invade it, and you need to mulchify, confuse and weaken them before they reach your front door. Use your arsenal of pea shooters, cherry bombs, purple devourers  and more to fight the undead. Watch out for the pole vaulting zombies and do play the mini game of Zombie bowling using potatoes. Download it

Princess Isabella A Witch’s CursePrincess Isabella A Witch’s Curse – Every single room in Princess Isabella’s castle is cursed. Not only that, but also everyone in the castle has been turned into mirrors, except Princess Isabella. She was lucky enough to be out while a wrathful witch snuck in and put an evil spell on the entire château. That’s a royal pain, so now you’re on a quest to reverse this most unfortunate series of events and release your friends and family from their glass menagerie. The game features marble shooters, logic puzzles, jigsaw puzzles, adventure quests, even a quiz – the game will keep you happily occupied wandering around this enormous regal home, solving, playing and ultimately defeating the wicked witch. Download it

Whack the DeadWhack The Dead (free) – Halloween is one of those holidays that I get really excited about, even though I now live in France where no one knows quite how to celebrate it like Americans do. That’s okay, though, because I’ll simply celebrate it with Halloween-themed games. Why not fête this year by whacking the dead? C’mon, it’s fun. This tiny, silly game on your desktop is perfect for a one minute game play of not only whacking zombies with shovels, but also with revolvers, shotguns and grenades. Beat my score of 1001! I dare you. Download it

SweetopiaSweetopia – What is Halloween without candy? No candy corn, mini Snickers, cute bags of M&Ms? Halloween is not Halloween without candy, so I’ve included this excellent orb shooter that I’d say is one of the top five of this genre. Consider it a cross between Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Zuma. Kate Gainsborough is re-opening her grandfather’s old candy factory, but runs into problems. One disturbing hurdle is the two sherbet sizzle candies if they should collide will blow up the building and destroy all of Kate’s hard work. Your job is to keep these two orbs away from each other by matching three or more like color candies to pop them with sphere launchers. Download it
