I bought some of those Crisp App HOGs at the Steam Summer Sale and tried one out, Aladdin Hidden Objects. I can certainly see why BF reviewers are not interested in this type of game, especially for the price they charge. Unless there is a lot more to the BF versions, they should put these in their "bite size games" section. I must say, I worry about the future of BF.
Anyway, the game was very, very short. I did not understand the "scoring" system. It's not a timed game but I guess you are on a timer of some sort. I actually enjoyed the story until the end when it decided to confuse me. I liked it for a diversion but I would not recommend it.
Aladdin is not one of the games on BF but Time Machine is, which I imagine is the same type of gaming. I think I saw at least one other of these Crisp App games on BF which is what made me look at them on Steam.
Also, I had finished Mystery PI: Lost in Los Angeles a few days back. Usually I go back and replay all the HO scenes after unlocking them but I'm not sure yet if I'm going to do that or not this time. We'll see next time I'm in my Win 7 computer.

I finished it. I remember that puzzle. I kept at it for a while but eventually skipped it as I wasn't getting anywhere. I just looked at the BF walkthrough that Ana wrote. She gave this tip about the puzzle: Tip: To solve the puzzle try to get at least 5 beetles remaining in one row and then take only 1 for your second to last move forcing the computer to leave 1-3 for you to take Maybe that will help?

Another game I never heard of and don't have (yet, even though I see "choices" are required)  . I hope you continue to enjoy it. So, how did you like the Grim Tales game anyway? There is a lot of to-ing and fro-ing but mostly I like it. There was a second incident where I had to use a hint because I just didn't see a hot spot after looking for about 10 times at everything. I did decide to play all of the "unlocked" ho and match 3 in Mystery PI. I'll probably finish that up today.
