World Mosaic 2 Review
The saga of the Sea people continues in Mac game World Mosaic 2. A colleague of Dr Remington (from World Mosaic) somehow breaks a hourglass and in that moment is transported back to a past world of dinosaurs and ancient plants. In order to get back to the present he reads a note left by Dr. Remington in his bag advising him to fix the hourglass in order to return, and to do so he must solve logic puzzles to form mosaic tiles.
The tutorial for this game is very explicit and clear. The logic puzzle’s grids start out as simple 5x5 board and increases in number of boxes and difficulty as the levels go higher. There are numbers at the side and top of the grid. These numbers tell you the pattern of each row and column. Start with the largest numbers to begin your quest. If the row or column is a 5, then each square will be turned over to 
display an icon. Going on to the other squares, you must remember that there is always at least one space between the groups of flipped boxes. For instance some rows or columns will have more than one number listed (1,3 or 1,1,1). This will tell you there is at the very minimum 1 space between each group of flipped squares. In the first instance, you will flip the 1st box, skip the next and then flip the next 3 boxes. You can change your cursor by clicking on the shovel to the right to put in the space box. It will mark it with an X. In doing this it makes it easier to figure out the rest of the grid. If you should make a mistake, the square will make a terrible noise and put the correct item in the box. It will also show the number of your mistakes on the right.
If you should get stuck and you earn hints, you can use them to help you along. You can earn a maximum of 4 hints so if you have them, use them.
I found World Mosaic 2 just as enjoyable as the first version. If you have never done logic puzzles, this one is non-threatening or frustrating to learn, and you’ll enjoy seeing the tile pictures as you go along. I liked World Mosaic 2 and could see playing it over and over.

The Amazing Brain Train Review
When you think you have figured out the target audience for a game, it changes and gives you a completely different perspective. The Amazing Brain Train is one those Mac games. The title itself is a clever play on words. What first comes to mind is the children’s locomotive, operated by Professor Fizzwizzle (the very one in the platform game by the same name and many others), which moves the play along, and then you find it’s also training the brain with diverse and changing mind exercises.
The Amazing Brain Train has 15 different games, 3 modes of play and 32 trophies to unlock. The Quest mode fuels the train along on the board with your “brain power”. Test has 5 mini games, and Practice has 15 timed or untimed mini games. Each mini game will test your logic, memory, dexterity and patience.
Instructions are simple and given by animated, colorful characters. The first few levels are easy enough for young children to figure out, however don’t let it fool you, it quickly becomes more challenging and difficult to keep in the timeframe. Some of the mini games were the memorizing what is behind the barn door, untangling dogs on leashes, connecting the stars to form a constellation, and bringing animals to food without sliding off the board. Once you get comfortable in the games it makes a complete 90 degree turn and your time runs out or you forget what really was behind that door, but don’t get frustrated just keep going you will conquer the toughest of tests. If the timed tests are too much, just switch to the untimed games until you get the hang of things, and you’ll do a lot better later on.
The pros of this Mac game is that the Amazing Brain Train will test and push your limits of thinking. It has different kinds of mini games so you are not always doing the same kind of play each time. The cons may be you will feel silly playing a game with the beautifully done graphics of very cute, pre-school-like animals and characters. If you can get past the children’s artwork, Professor Fizzwizzle’s Amazing Brain Train is for those practicing and maintaining their mental wellness. It is great for all those brain fitness people who are looking for difficult mind games, other than crosswords or sudokus. Also it is for those who just like to play fun and educational games, but be ready to put your brain to work while traveling down the railroad of thinking.
