7. Dark Parables: The Exiled Prince
Save the Chancellor’s daughter who has gone missing in The Black Forest. Rumoured to be the latest victim of The Frog Prince, the very same to have been transformed into a handsome prince with a kiss from the beautiful Princess Ivy, you need to unravel this ancient mystery and brave the dark forces that haunt fairy tales of old. Gorgeous graphics, tons of hidden object searches and a series of puzzles will have you challenged and entertained for hours on end.
6. Luxor 3
A return to one of my all time favourite games, Luxor 3 packs some interesting twists and a super shiny new look. Offering three modes: Adventure, Puzzle and Freeplay, Luxor 3 now comes with four levels – easy, medium, hard and insane (the latter of which has to be unlocked before it can be played). I’m still working my way through the levels and simply love this Match-3 game’s new features. Collected Ankhs no longer give you extra lives, but rather give you currency to purchase extra power ups which can be bought in the game’s store. Scarabs still push colourful spheres towards the pyramid, but with new obstacles that pop up to speed them on their way. Challenging and addictive, Luxor 3 continues to enthral.

5. Big Kahuna Reef 2 – Chain Reaction
The second instalment of this super-cool match 3 game is a sure fire hit. Explore the exotic waters of the Hawaiian deep sea paradise, working your way through more than 750 increasingly challenging levels. Fantastic graphics, smooth gameplay and a host of new features make Big Kahuna Reef 2 a winner. The game boasts new fish (including sharks and whales) which you unlock as you complete different levels, new underwater scenes and an exciting new feature – the ability to destroy boxes with a range of different bombs.

4. Princess Isabella: Return of the Curse
Taking place a year after the events of Princess Isabella: A Witches Curse, this game centres around the disappearance of Princess Isabella’s baby daughter, who has been captured by the returning evil witch. Joining the fairy helper is a new face, a fledgling dragon who join forces to help you destroy the witch’s curse. Solve puzzles, collect gems and free a host of characters from the spells enveloping them to help find and free the baby princess. Great graphics, a greater variety of locations, hidden objects and smoother game play than it’s predecessor, make this a great game for women!
3. The Tiny Bang Story
Help save the people of Tiny Planet when it is hit by an asteroid and broken into tiny pieces. Explore different regions and solve many puzzles to fix the machines that will help put the planet back together again. Totally absorbing, extremely entertaining and quite a brain teaser too! Boasting gorgeously rich painted scenes, quirky characters and hauntingly beautiful music, this game is an utter delight. Not your run-of-the-mill adventure game, The Tiny Bang Story is sweet and subtle, having very limited hints and forcing you to figure it out by yourself without the aid of a skip or solve button. This is a game to be savoured, not rushed, so if you are in a hurry to get to the end by skipping the challenges and moving on, you’ll find this game seriously frustrating. Read full review here!
2. Roads of Rome III
Roads of Rome III is a challenging game that requires quick wits, even quicker reactions and good strategy and time management skills. It features colourful graphics, great sound effects and smooth game play. Your quest is to help Victorius protect Rome from invading Barbarians and restore the city’s broken infrastructure. Featuring a wide range of different settlements, you need to accomplish various tasks such as building bridges, fixing roads and mining gold to keep the invading forces at bay, in all weather conditions and seasons. Great fun, this game is complex, addictive and extremely difficult to achieve expert status at every level, as you race against the clock to accomplish every task. Read full review here!
