My opinion and recommendation.
I just finished playing my second Carol Reed game - Remedy. Had already played East Side Story a few months ago.
What I have enjoyed in these 2 games is that they are fun, laid back and no crazy puzzles to solve.
Have the other 2 to play - Hope Springs Eternal and Time Stand Still. Looking foward to the Colour of Murder.
So for those of you who need a break from difficult games this is the path to take.

I enjoy them as well RAL. They also have a skip if the puzzle is too hard.

That is the same two I have played and the other two are in my stack to play also. I just really like knowing it is a real place like the Capri and Anacapri games. I think that Carol Reed games are really unique and fun! Cute gardener too!

I have to agree, good stories, nice puzzles and wonderful graphics. A real joy to play.


Has any one seen any little gray cells around as I think I've lost some? Reward for finder.

I really like these games, too. I've only played Remedy and Hope Springs Eternal but I hope to get the other two off Big Fish soon.

I also enjoy these games quite a lot. How does one skip a puzzle in them? I did not know that was possible.

There's a puzzle skip in Time Stand Still (and, if I remember right, Hope Springs Eternal, too) by moving your cursor to the top right of the screen and clicking on the "Bypass" button. Clicking on this does affect your end-game score, though. wink

Thanks! Since I do not play for scoring, I don't mind at all.

Looking forward to The Colour of Murder.

I have played all 4 and am panting with anticipation for Color of Murder. It is a game I'd pre-order if they had that option.

Thanks for the recommendation RAL! I've never played a Carol Reed game before. So I downloaded one from BigFish, and I'm enjoying it a lot. It's such a relaxing game environment.
