I like games. This much is true. The problem is, I'm not very
good at them. So I'm starting this blog to provide a non-gamer's perspective on gaming. You're not going to find strategy guides, walkthroughs, or cheats here. Just one lame chick's opinions on the lame games she plays.
Currently, I am horribly addicted to hidden object games (HOGs) which I mostly play at home on my PC, but I've put a few on my laptop, just in case I need a fix on-the-go. To date, the best ones I've played (and there are many) are Puppet Show: Mystery of Joyville, and its sequel, Puppet Show: Souls of the Innocent. What makes one HOG better than another? Lots of things! But, for me, it's all about the mini-games and puzzles. Let's face it, finding hidden objects is pretty much the same across the board, but a really good HOG will have challenging puzzles and mini-games, decent graphics and, if you're lucky, a remotely interesting story. Puppet Show has 'em all!

| So creeeppyyy...but very pretty. |

| The hidden object pictures are very pretty, and just challenging enough without being too frustrating. |
 |
| There are many mini-games that you need to complete in order to advance the story. If you hate these kinds of puzzles, no worries - if you wait a few minutes, you can skip it and get back to finding hidden objects. |
The best thing about HOGs? No physical skill required! If you can click a mouse, you can play a HOG. If you're anything like me, though, you will click and click and click....and click.
