Status : Offline | The Azada series is fun, they are more puzzle games combined with a little bit of hog seeking. about 90% of those games are traditional puzzles/mini games.
Another true HOG game, with an interesting story and some additional puzzling is Ravenhearst and even better Return to Ravenhearst

Status : Offline | I must still try out Azada, so I'm not sure exactly what you're looking for, but on the puzzle front you might want to try out the Dream Chronicle games. I personally also enjoyed Sherlock Holmes: Mot Persian Carpet, and for a really casual, easy more HOG-ish Sherlock experience, you could try The Lost Cases of Sherlock Holmes.
Yeah, I'm a Sherlock fan, sorry! [smiley=detective.gif]

Status : Offline | Hey Traveller; did you know that there's another Sherlock movie coming out with Robert Downy Jr. ? Just curious what you thought of the first one...sorry to get off-topic.
I honestly haven't played any of the Sherlock games...yet. I'll take a look later tonight at the BigFish site.
Mystery games are fun if they make you think!

Status : Offline | Ooh, no, I didn't know, so thanks for the heads-up! Regarding the first one, I thought it was...-interesting... It definitely strove to break the mold, eh? Firstly, it put more action and romance into what one would expect from a "Sherlock" movie, and secondly, I'm not too sure I liked what they did with either of the characters, but especially to Watson.
Although Watson is by far not the "dunce" some people and some of the Sherlock games tries to portray him as, he still definitely was in awe of old Sherlock in the original stories.
I won't say I hated the movie, but it did move me out of my comfort zone, if you know what I mean, and I can't decide if that's good or bad!
