The story is not that original: a young heroine(and you) inherit a shabby restaurant after her grandfather. Everything in it needs to be repaired. But before you can run it, you need just two simple things - a lot of money and GREAT experience.

To get borth, you will be working for 6 different restaurants in your home town before you gain enough experience. Those are:

1. Chuck’s Wagon(American Diner)

2. Monty’s Full English (English cuisine)

3. The Captain’s Quarters(seafood restaurant)

4. Leon’s Parisian Palace (French cuisine)

5. Hiro’s Pan-Asian Cuisine

6. Vegetarian Delight

As far as the gameplay is concerned, you’re going to play an utterly new game genre - HIDDEN INGREDIENTS GAME. At first sight, everything looks like in Diner Dash or Turbo Subs - a customer comes to you and orders some dish. It consists of say, 10 ingredients. Some of them need to be boilded, baked, fried, sauteed before you can finally press on delivery button. So, you’ll have to do two kinds of jobs:

1. Find the ingredients scattered around your kitchen

2. Perform actions(like baking, boiling, frying, heating up in a microwave oven). For that sake, you’ll just have to click on a gas stove or microwave oven.

The list of ingredients and sequence of actions is displayed at the top right corner in your current order.

Tips and Tricks for Go-Go Gourmet. Luckily, there are no particular tips and tricks. Just be sure to carefully study the new ingredients in the beginning of the level. Before you start playing, try to remember the location of every ingredient in your chaotic kitchen. If you’re stuck, while the time is ticking away, press the hint button.

On bonus levels, you’ll be required to find the listed ingredients under a limited time(on some levels you’ll have to do htis with a torch in your hand while the lights are off).

Tough job. I agree. But every level that you complete successfully brings you money that you can spend for upgrades for Ginger’s Kitchen and priceless experience.

Game Hunger for BIG games

January 30th, 2008 by admin

You can never satisfy your hunger for games. Now that I am done with such epic titles as Chocolatier 2 and fast-paced Turbo Subs, I am dying to start playing something new, elegant, and relaxing. I feel that it’s nothing better than look back in 2007 - since the greatest titles remained there.

I’m thankful to my destiny and Google that brought me to a review of Dream Day First Home by family-friendly-games.blogspot.com . It has truly recreated the flavour of this elegant hidden object game. So, I am pretty positive - I am going to try it! It really hooked me up.

P.S. I only wonder - how can a man(family-friendly-games.blogspot.com owner) write such detailed reviews of casual games? It’s nice to see some men in the community of casual game fans. And it’s nice to meet men who prefer clean family-friendly games to the core titles full of blood and violence(do you hear me, my elder son;0)

Caribbean Hideaway - Utterly New Concept of Match-3

January 28th, 2008 by admin

Did I tell you I am not a great fan of match-3 puzzles? But since now I am. Twenty minutes ago I discovered the game that has turned my attitude to matching puzzles upside down. It’s Caribbean Hideaway presented by Big Fish Games. First, it blends the concepts of matching puzzle and strategy game. And secondly, it offers an utterly new concept of matching.

Strategy element: you’re a pirate who finds himself on an island in the Caribbean. So, you’re to construct new buildings like smith, dock, jewel shop and create your own pirate civilizations.

Puzzle element comes to life when you start to put your intentions into reality. You will have to create matches of three of more identical elements when they’re placed in one row or column.

So, why do I call this game utterly new? FORGET ABOUT SWAPPING OBJECTS TO CREATE MATCHES. In Caribbean Hideaway, you will have a spare object in your hand, and you’ll have to place it near two identical elements in place of other element originally located there.

More than that, on every level you’ll have to perform an additional task like getting rid of blue cells, swapping objects of a particular type(say, chests). The poins(oops, I mean coins) you’ve earned on a level will help you construct more buildings and get your pirate civilization running!

Did I mention the game has cute pirate characters, and is full of hair-raising stories?

Yo-ho-ho! You’d better download Caribbean Hideaway
