Continental Cafe Review
Continental Café is a conglomeration of puzzles, story and delicious recipes. It is cleverly held together with an unlikely tale about Laura winning the lottery, buying a restaurant with a mystery behind the former owner, a sinister character and then traveling the world to learn how to cook recipes made famous by other foreign chefs. It somehow works.
Your play begins on an airplane clicking on lit stars for hints. You click until you are suddenly stopped. Hopefully you will get far in this mini bonus game but you can also lose everything. The world map will take you first to France to meet Kallie Crotteau, a well renown 
French chef. She will help you with new recipes after you do some favors. Running errands for the chef consists of multiple puzzles – all different with some easy and others difficult. There are jigsaw, match the shape, word, slide, and tasks to complete puzzles before you can play the hidden object scene. 
One logic game is similar to World Mosaic and fun to play. The rewards for completing these puzzles are the real recipes you can use and make a delicious meal for your family. This is similar to the latest cooking Mac games like Top Chef and Hell’s Kitchen.
Each puzzle is different and all may not be something you are into so the game provides a rain check if you are lucky enough to earn it. This rain check will allow you to pass on a game if you want. This feature is great because I do not like all the puzzles and opted to skip a 
game. Unfortunately, I couldn’t play the Word Wheel because it kept timing me out. I later learned that if you play it in the hard mode, the game will progress normally.
I enjoy this game even with the minor flaw. The puzzles are diverse making it feel like you are getting a variety of games and the recipes are bonuses on top of the excellent graphics and well thought out puzzles.

Big Kahuna Words Review
Mac game Big Kahuna Words is part of Reflexive’s successful Big Kahuna match game series. The music and the oceanic reef scenes are identical to the match plays. The puzzle formation, power ups and blocks are also very familiar. However, the similarities end there. You return to the depth of the blue seas to form words instead of matching 3 items to garner points.
The play is simple to learn but forming the words will be a challenge even with the hint button. You can play either relaxed or the action timed mode. You click on letters touching each other to form a word. You can drag one letter to another to swap positions. If you have trouble configuring a word, click on the hint button and then move over the letters to see what word can be made. The longer the words, the more points you will get and also earn you a bonus word bomb to destroy letters. You must make words over the stones to destroy the square and after all the stone blocks are gone, the level is complete. If the square is metal then you must make a word over it 2 times to destroy. If the square is locked you must use that letter at the beginning of the word.
The many power-ups are the wild cards, explosives and bonus words. There is a volcano level where the letters on the board will change. Statistics are given after each level and this data will encourage you to do better in the next stage. Also after each level you return to the
reef to release fish, turtles and sharks to the waters for your screensavers. In addition, interesting information is given when choosing your items to release into the ocean.
Big Kahuna Words is an enjoyable challenge to your brain fitness in the higher levels when the puzzle boards in various unusual shapes and many blocks will test your mental capabilities. You will need to summon all your brain cells when dealing with the small corners with just consonants, but will savor revenge when an explosive destroys some of those very letters that are in your path to completing a level. Big Kahuna Words is not as funny as Bookworm Deluxe but is just as difficult and addictive in its play. If that is not enough, you also get a great screensaver to sit back and enjoy the beautiful reef.
