Big Fish Games Review and GIVEAWAY!!

Games aren't just for kids and just because you are a grown up doesn't mean you can't have a little fun! Since your children are probably fans of gaming, why not try doing it with them some time. They will be thrilled that you show some interest in one of your hobbies and you may find yourself having a really good time.  Big Fish Games has a huge selection of downloadable computer games in the following categories:  puzzle, hidden object, time management, adventure, match 3, strategy, arcade and more.  Their games can be immediately downloaded upon purchase and their prices are really affordable.

I was given the opportunity to try one of the hidden object games and there were so many great looking titles to choose from I had a hard time selecting just one. I was ultimately drawn to the game, "Mystery Case Files: Escape From Ravenhearst". The game is a sequel to another game, though beside fully understanding  some storyline elements, can be easily played even you have never played the previous game.  It is a psychological thriller and you play as a detective trying to explain the disappearances in the town who is then captured by a psychopath.   

Rather than having to shoot off bad guys as in a typical video game, the point of the game is to find hidden objects that can help you complete puzzles and open up additional clues and levels.  There is a nice mix of fairly simple puzzles and ones that really have you using your brain to figure it out. There were some that I just could not figure out no matter how hard I tried so I was glad that Big Fish Games offers a walk-through blog that provides you with the answers and can be referred to as needed.

The game itself is really fun and addicting. I played it with both of my children who are horror movie fanatics, but I would not recommend it for younger children who are easily spooked. There are some haunting scenes and the graphics are pretty amazing for a PC game.   The only downfall is the size of the file which took me hours to download and would probably work better on a system that is capable of handling detailed video games. Mine ran a bit slow because my laptop is an old model that has the basic functions for business, but not for gaming. It did, however, work well considering.  If you are unsure if you would like the game or if your system can handle it, then Big Fish Games has an awesome feature where you can play the game for 1 hour before you determine if you want to make the purchase or not.  Now, I have to run....I am getting close to beating a level and this blog post is distracting me!!
