Cake Mania 3
Cake Mania 3, a fun time management game from Sandlot games, builds on the successful Cake Mania franchise. In Cake Mania 3, Jill is about to get married to Jack (who you may remember from the previous game) when a time distortion ball breaks, sending her friends and family to different eras: prehistoric, ancient Egypt, the Ming dynasty in China, 17th or 18th century Paris, and perhaps the Shire.As in previous Cake Mania games, the purpose is to give a customer a menu, take the order, make the cake, ice it, garnish it (if you've unlocked that tool) and deliver it, trying maintain or improve the customer level of hearts (patience). Items to unlock include a phone, additional ovens and icing machines, a display case, a tea maker, and garnish tools. Other items include a phone to take cake orders over the phone, and shoes for swiftness. Of course, each of these can be upgraded. They are purchased with the profits from your days.
In each time scenario, there are different power ups to use. The prehistoric has a club that allows you to give any cake to the waiting customer. In Egypt, the Ra power-up extends the day. In China, the Tao of Cake (which is a phrase I may borrow for my own purposes) extends the patience (it doesn't give more, but holds the customers at their current heart level). In the Shire/Fairyland, the crystal ball will tell you what the next customer without a menu will order.
There is an additional powerup that is achieved either through making a specific cake or through strings of 3-series (3 menus, 3 coin collections, etc). This sugar rush makes all the tools (ovens, tea machine, icers, garnishers) produce instantly instead of having a timer. This is a fun element to manage!
In addition to gameplay, there is a sandbox area where you can create wedding cakes, save and send them as e-cards. This does not need to be unlocked, but can be accessed from the first play. A cartoon function will also be unlocked down the road. There are also mini-games on the map, where you have to make and package a certain number of cakes off a conveyor belt. You can earn extra money this way, as well as bonus power-ups.
What they did well: Cutscenes added voice-overs, a nice change of pace for a casual game! The text was witty and poked good fun (for example, Jill wonders why cavemen and dinosaurs are together). I played the first release of Cake Mania 2 and encountered several major showstopper bugs. This version seems much more solid. I found the controls worked better than in the previous games. The costumes for Jill were hilarious. Each customer "pays" with appropriate "coin" (i.e. chimps pay with bones, dinos with stones, etc.) That attention to detail is nice. The sandbox mode, the mini-games, and the save functions are all superb additions.
What could have been better: An explanation of why they had a time distortion ball in the first place. The Ra gift from Egypt didn't seem to add much gameplay value.
Cake Mania 3 is a big improvement over Cake Mania 2 and is a very fun time management game.

mystery chronicles: murder among friends
Mystery Chronicles: Murder Among Friends is a hidden object game from Lazy Turtle Games.The setting is France, around the turn of the 20th century. Your cousin and wife were killed, and their butler and children are missing. It's your job to solve the crime. You have the option of playing in either the relaxed or the timed mode. Each chapter starts with 45 minutes on the clock. As with all hidden object games, there is a list of items to locate, and a hint to help. In this case, it's a magnifying glass. Clicking on it highlights one object still unfound on the screen. It takes 2 full minutes to recharge. There are multiple scenes in most chapters, and clicking on the footprints in the lower right hand box opened up the additional scenes, in case you get stuck and want to move on to finding something else.
I found I had to click seven times in quick succession before I encountered a time penalty (30 seconds). However, slow random clicks did not seem to have any effect. There are no bonuses for locating multiple objects in quick fashion.
What was done well: mini-games intersperse the hidden object scenes. You may have to play a game similar to minesweeper or piece together paper fragments, as examples. The story was intriguing. Items frequently looked the same from scene to scene (i.e. the brown briefcase you collect from the first location of the Mansion will be the same brown briefcase in other scenes as well).
What could have been better: I found the objects frequently blended in with the background. For example, in the first location, the mansion, the bullet hole in the window was difficult to locate. In the garden, the coffee grinder in the weeds was impossible for me to discern. There was no way to magnify an area, which contributed to my frustration in locating blended objects. Occasionally, there were items that I had not heard of (i.e. Hanoi tower - the ring tower). Many of the items to find had nothing to do with solving the mystery. In one scene, there is clearly a dead body. Clicking on it prompted no action. It wasn't until the end of the scene that you "discover" the body in text. That was too contrived for my tastes.

School House Shuffle
School House Shuffle is a time management game, where you create a school and attempt to turn the kids into geniuses. Ms. Brighton, who is the school principal, talks like Charlie Brown's teacher.The levels start slowly, with one grade at a time. The grades are distinguished by hair color. The second grade starts at level 7. This is a school that you and I probably would wish we had attended. When kids get hungry or need to go to the bathroom, they get dismissed to the cafeteria or to the restroom.
To help corral the kids, the player starts with a hall monitor (if a kid passes within his range, (s)he will go back to class) and a chaperone (get it close enough to the kid and the kid will follow the chaperone). Money is earned as kids learn and at the end of the day. There is a bonus if the class performed well enough to earn an A. (Note: if there is a way to earn an A on the first two levels, I was unable to figure out the appropriate strategy.) The money purchases upgrades (faster restroom/cafeteria breaks, better classrooms for faster learning; additional staff to help with control the children; aesthetic improvements to the school).
What they did well: the music is good. It has several different themes: one that reminded me of the Incredibles; another that was very swing-style, and a third that made me think of Jerry Lee Lewis. I liked the personalization of the profile screen, where the player gets to name the school and pick a favorite class. The school name shows up on the play screen as well, which was a very nice touch. Also, the paper that was the background for the summary sometimes had some funny non-sequiturs. The gym, which reminded me of a hamster ball, was amusing.
What could have been better: Controls. It was difficult to click on the kids/monitor/chaperone/janitor, especially when the kids were in the gym. I would send a kid to the cafeteria to get something to eat, then click on the janitor to repair something. All of a sudden, I'd notice the kid was wandering off and not going to the cafeteria. That was pretty frustrating. For many parts of the game, I was waiting for something to happen. It was worse in the early levels, but even in the more advanced levels, I sometimes had nothing to do. It didn't make sense that the principal would be disciplining the classes, which acted up multiple times in the day. Each time she disciplined them, this annoying pop-up message would appear. Also, apparently the staff is not the cream of the crop, as they doze off and the principal must discipline them too.
I have to say that I was disappointed in the execution of this game. I expected it to be much more fun and enjoyable than it was. Instead, playing through felt a little bit like torture.

Home Sweet Home 2: Kitchens and Baths
Home Sweet Home 2: Kitchens and Baths is the second game in the Home Sweet Home series. As in the first game, it's a home decorating sim, except the focus is now kitchens and bathrooms, whereas the first one centered around living rooms.There are two phases to each level: the decorating and then the building. For decorating, you start with a room - sometimes the room has stuff in it, sometimes it's pretty bare - a budget, and what amounts to a word puzzle. The clients are never quite specific about what they want: it's always caged in a descriptive form. For example, one level will have a movie star telling you he will have 2 of his dudes over and they would bring a friend and he needs a place to chill. The player must interpret that as needing to use 5 chairs in the room to make the maximum score. The goal is to meet the customer desire, within budget. In order to move on to the build phase, a minimum customer satisfaction level must be met and all items must be placed (most levels require a minimum number of things to be built). If you can't figure out what the customer wants, there are hints available.
In the build phase, you have 3 workers (you might recognize them from HSH 1!) to help you build out the room in a specific number of days. There are power-ups, where an item will flash the worker's color. Placing the worker on that item will result in them building faster. Coffee is also available, which perks up the worker and prevents them from getting hurt (and slowing down the process). Occasionally, the workers will stop and ask for a tool that the player must find in the toolbox.
The level score is determined by the customer satisfaction (up to 1000 points), whether the player used a hint (not using a hint gives a 100 point bonus) and a build score for achieving the goal in the number of days. 3 medals are awarded: bronze, for reaching 1400 points, silver for 1700 points, and gold for 1900 points. Each level also unlocks 2 items which the player can use to decorate a bonus personal apartment.
What they did well: it's an enjoyable sim. There was never any point at which I felt stressed. Moving items from one place to another was easy, and it was nice to be able to recycle materials. The build levels were sometimes quite challenging, keeping the workers injury free, motivated, and getting all the items built. New items unlock all the time. The word puzzles are fun to decipher. Wall colors are rich and full.
What could have been better: The graphics on the level-choosing screen. It wasn't always immediately obvious which was the new level (sometimes you design rooms for the same client). I was able to make some very odd bathroom and kitchen arrangements. For example, there were some kitchens that lacked a refrigerator and/or a sink. A few bathrooms were missing a toilet. I was still able to get the gold score for that level, though. That seemed odd. Also, there was no penalty for placing items that made the customer unhappy. So a player could spend a lot of time in trial and error and still get a high score. Personally, I would've appreciated more of a challenge (i.e. sale price of placed items is half the value, etc).
