Miss Teri Tale Review
Hidden object Mac games and story lines are not my thing, but I’m starting to warm up to them. Miss Teri Tale is one of those games that is changing my mind about I spy plays. This particular one is a lighthearted dognapping tale and hidden object game. It begins with Miss Teri a novelist living in quiet, crime free suburbia being blackmailed by an internet villain who wants her to find the neighbor’s dog, Jason.
Your play brings you to Peeking Town, USA where the entire neighborhood is suspect of kidnapping a favorite pet. Miss Teri must break into people’s homes by figuring out their security codes. Clues are given to her to be able to do this fairly easily. Once in the home she searches rooms for clues. This hidden object game has clear and good graphics making the game more pleasurable. If she clicks on too many wrong objects, she is warned she is making too much noise. The list of objects she needs to find is on the left side. While in the different rooms, you hear clear and accurate sound effects like the water dripping, telephone ringing and rain falling.
There are many helps in this hidden object game. One is the Gazette, the local paper, will when you click on the newspaper in her house, give articles pertaining to the kidnapping. Mini puzzles like the memory cards will also give clues. The email messages from the blackmailer will help the play along.
This hidden object game is different from some of the other murder mystery games. First it is not as dark and ghastly as Women’s Murder Club: Death in Scarlet or as involved as Agatha Christie’s: Peril at End House. Miss Teri Tale is more on the comedic and happy side, if you will, of kidnapping. The rooms you need to search are easily identifiable and not dark and murky. I enjoyed both realistic murder mystery and the more cartoonish themes of hidden object games, and I liked Miss Teri Tale. The story is a silly premise, but it is a relaxing and enjoyable play without the murder theme for a change of pace.
Features of Miss Teri Tale:
-Investigate Neighbors’ Houses
-Hidden Items
-Comedic Theme
-Discover the Mystery of Jason’s Kidnapping

Chocolate Castle Review
The children’s theme, cute artwork, and the name of Mac game Chocolate Castle are very deceptive. This game appears to be a colorful, simple and fun puzzle for kids, but once you get into it, you realize that it’s a complicated strategy driven mind workout. It draws you in by its initial simplicity and keeps you engaged with its intellectual play.
The game has 4 types of animals and 4 different flavors of chocolate to be eaten by the retro looking, cute characters. To play, you click and drag the same color chocolate pieces to form a larger and connected one, then click and drag the same color animal (pig, bear, rabbit and dog) to the chocolate to be eaten. After successful completion, the animal and chocolate will disappear. Sounds easy enough, but is it?
There are many obstacles or challenges to this game. Once the same color chocolate pieces are together, they cannot be separated. However, if you do make a mistake, by clicking undo or redo or enter will allow you to do a do over. Walls cannot be moved, blue blocks can be moved but do not stick together, pink magic blocks can be moved once before they turn into walls, and white ice cubes once moved in one direction keeps sliding until it hits something. The Turkish Delight can be eaten and will explode everything in 8 surrounding blocks. The snakes do not do much, but you can drag their head around the game board. They cannot move backwards and will break in 2 by using a Turkish Delight.
There are 3 modes of play: easy, medium and hard. Each mode has 40 rooms to devour for a total of 120 puzzles. The easy mode 
will be suitable for young children, and I think they will be happy playing this game. The rest of the puzzles, medium and hard levels, are aimed towards older kids and adults. Solutions can be saved, and you can design and play your own creations.
Chocolate Castle is a blend of the old time board game Rush Hour (get the red, plastic car across the board with different size cars and trucks blocking your passage) , and Tetris (the now famous computer game with different shaped objects floating down to fill the appropriate space). The time just flies by when you are thinking up the possible answer to the dilemma of completing the puzzle in an orderly manner. This game is for anyone who loves to solve difficult puzzles or just want to have a fun and relaxed time playing some of the less challenging games and listening to appropriate arcade-like music. Take the time to enjoy Chocolate Castle and its many rooms.
