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

The Clumsys 2 Butterfly EffectThe Clumsys 2 Butterfly Effect – If you played The Clumsys 1, you might remember that Grandpa dabbled in time travel that ended up in zany antics all over the place. The sequel, The Clumsys 2 Butterfly Effect, takes you to more grampy time travel when he inadvertently brings back a butterfly from prehistoric times. So, here’s where you come in. Join Helen and rediscover all of civilization’s greatest discoveries that never happened in this hidden objects game for Mac, while Grandpa stays home working at reviving the prehistoric butterfly. Download it

Hot Dish 2 Cross Country Cook OffHot Dish 2 Cross Country Cook Off – Remember the Mac game, United States of Pool, where players crossed the country after completing a series of pool matches? Hot Dish 2 Cross Country Cook Off, would be a remote cousin, a United States of Food of sorts, where gamers combine traveling across the country with competing at regional cook offs. You’ll be joining chefs from all over America, and you’ll need to master a multitude of local dishes like Gumbo from Louisiana, Shrimp & Scallop Kebabs from Maine, Boston Baked Beans, just to name a few. Ultimately you’re vying for a place in the final round of the Gourmet Grand Prix. Download it

Sweeney Todd Annie’s Millions – Have you wondered what you’d buy if you had a million dollars? Or is that just me? Anyway, with this new Mac game, Annie’s Millions, live vicariously through Annie, as she spends a million dollars in order to inherit her uncle’s fortune. You see, her eccentric uncle has decided to pass on his riches while he’s still alive but he’s not sure who to give this inheritance to. I don’t know why he can’t just split it up and give it to everyone – but I suppose that would be less interesting so he decided to instigate a friendly family competition among Annie and her cousins. To fuel the fire in this money race, time is of the essence. Whoever spends a million dollars first, and spends it wisely, will win uncle’s jackpot. In each hidden objects scene, you’ll need to find and purchase everything on the list to move on to a new buying spree scene. Spend away until you reach a total of one million dollars! Note: if you need to use a hint, you have to earn it by playing mini-games. Download it

Solve brain-bending puzzles, search for hidden items and beat the bad guys with board game battles.  Download it

EcoRescue Project RainforestEcoRescue Project Rainforest – You hopefully will not feel AS guilty playing Eco Rescue Project Rainforest as you might with other games some call “time wasters” – and we could use any excuse we can to play games, right? There’s no made up story about someone getting kidnapped and you having to rescue them, and there’s no fictitious evil curse to be lifted by your gaming skills. Here, you’ll jump right into a factual milieu. While you do play a conservationist, the prodigious information about the world’s rain forests is true. Your official mission is to restore the rain forests all over the world by removing their pollution.

There are four girls you’ll hang out with. Maintain good relationships with them by giving them lots of attention and learning about their hopes and dreams.

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.
