Awakenings: The Dreamless Castle Cheats and Walkthrough

Here is the guide I promised you, Awakenings: The Dreamless Castle. What can I say about this game? Wow! It had great graphics, absolutely beautiful, a storyline that kept me interested the entire way through, and it left me wanting more! I thoroughly enjoyed this game more than I have the past few. It was just fantastic and I hope we see more like it, or a sequel!
I'm not sure what I'll do for my next guide. I am eyeing up a few games to write guides for over spring break. I'm broke, so I'm staying on campus for spring break. Unfortunately, so is my room mate! I tried to loan her some more colorful clothes, but she just snarled at me, yes she actually snarled! Once she finally got the hint that I did not need help writing my guides, she started sitting on her side of the room, blaring music through her headphones and writing or drawing - I don't really want to know, in a notebook. Thankfully, term is over in just a few more months and I can head back home. Of course, there is also Easter vacation and I will be going home for that. Meanwhile, I struggle to deal with an ever depressing roommate and juggle my studies. Wish me luck! Thankfully, she doesn't read my blogs, or so I hope!

Love Story Letters from the Past Review
|

So…he still doesn’t know, but I’m still dreaming about my Econ “tutor”…oh, sorry, I’m back now. Anyway, since I’m such a romantic, when I saw the game Love Story: Letters from the Past, I had to check it out.
Mary is an elderly woman who has just lost her husband. After the funeral, back at the house, you are given instructions to check the mailbox. The mailbox is sparkling, but when you click on it, you’re told that it’s stuck, and that you should find something which with to open it. To do so, you have a list of items to find; if you get stuck there’s a hint available, but then once you select the hint once, you have to wait for the locket to fill up again. You cannot really mess up while playing; the game directs you exactly what to do and when!
Finally you open the mailbox, and waiting for you is a package! Everyone loves a package, right?! Once you figure out that you need to take it inside to open it, you again have a list of items to find in the room before you can proceed. If you’re good at finding hidden items in a picture, like me, this mini-game part of the game is a breeze!
Little by little, the story unfolds to present you with letters from your long-lost love. Ahh how romantic! As you continue, the game directs you to find memory objects; these trigger little memory flashes of your relationship. It seems somewhat mysterious though, since supposedly your long lost love was killed in a war and you never heard from him again…
Now the point of view changes, and you see John, trapped in a cell in some POW camp. More search and find kinds of games, and then a maze!
This game is very challenging, but totally addicting. I cannot wait to get John and Mary back together…awww, how romantic! Speaking of romance, the tutor just called and he’s on his way, and I’m supposed to be ready to discuss three chapters of the book! Hrm…maybe I can convince him that there’s something more fun than discussing Economics… how romantic! ;)

Sarah Maribu and the Lost World Cheats and Walkthrough
|
By

I finished Sarah Maribu and the Lost World already! The game has great graphics, but pretty basic game-play. It's a hidden object game, with lots of hidden objects that will vary for everyone. Then there are you inventory items that you need to interact with something else in the game. Usually, this means opening a door, gate, cage, etc. The puzzles weren't overly hard and most you could skip. Finding the items could be tough at times, but the hardest part sometimes was figuring out where to use your inventory objects. Don't worry, they are all outlined for you! The plot was very weak but the game was still enjoyable. I mean, come on, what parents are going to let their daughter and her boyfriend run off with their crazy uncle to an unknown island to explore it... alone?! Not mine! I mean, if I had a boyfriend. Anyway, I do recommend this game.
My roommate gets more annoying by the minute. First we had the black... everything! Clothes, nails, lipstick, etc. Then the lollipop sucking, hovering over my shoulder, trying to "help", and the extremely loud music that comes blasting through her headphones, I'm surprised she's not deaf! She's also very messy. Now mind you, I'm not perfect, but I like a small room such as a dorm room to be tidy otherwise it's like living in a barn. And I know all about barns! I finally had to take duct tape, handy for everything right, and tape a line down the middle of the room. Her side, my side. This concept only just took place very recently so I'll update you next time on how that is going.
Next up will be Awakening: The Dreamless Castle. So keep your eyes peeled! My cousins said the NE winter is horrible, so all you snow bunnies, stay warm and stay safe. Happy gaming!

Natalie Brooks Mystery at Hillcrest High Cheats and Walkthrough
|
By

Hey gamers! I am on a mission this month. To bring you a new guide every week! Let's see how I do.
The guide I bring you today is Natalie Brooks: Mystery at Hillcrest High (aka Natalie Brooks 3). Now, it's only 3/4 finished because there is a major bug in the game that often causes players to freeze around Chapter 6 or 7 and cannot go further. I am told by Big Fish Games that this is a known problem and that the developers of the game (not Big Fish Games) is working on it. At which time it is solved, the guide will be finished.
Up until I got totally stuck and cannot go further, I was really enjoying the game I cannot wait to finish it. The storyline, graphics, game play, are all top notch. There are a few translation errors, but it doesn't take away from the game. What does take away from the game is that darn bug! It does not happen to everyone, I have talked to people who have played the game all the way through just fine, but I have also talked to people who have the same problem I did.
Now as for Natalie, I really think she needs to re-think her wardrobe. Three games in and she is still wearing the same clothes! Sort of like my new roommate! I haven't updated you on that have I. Well, she's a little different and very annoying. I have no idea how I will study with her around. I actually have to leave the comfort and coziness of my dorm room and go to the library to study. Anyway, back to her clothes. She only believes in one color, black. Black pants, black shirts, black shoes, black socks, probably black underwear but I didn't ask or look! Black nails, black eyeshadow, even black lipstick. It's crazy! Where I grew up, black was worn on cowboys in the form a hat and yes, they were the good guys. Sorry, Roy Rogers, even the good guys wear black these days! Well, I hear her coming up the hall, I better post this blog before she decides to watch what I'm doing over my shoulder - yes, very annoying!
Until next week - take care and you North Easterner's, stay warm in that big winter storm you got!

Diner Dash 5 Review
|
By
morgan
02/27/2010
|
The “tutor” had to cancel today, and although I promised him I’d study… When I saw Diner Dash 5: Boom Collector’s Edition come out, I decided to give the restaurant biz a try! After all, that’s Economics too, right?
People say being a server is tough, but I can’t believe it would be that difficult… seat the customers, take their orders, serve the food, pick up the tips, and clean up the tables… really…how hard can that be?
Well, when it starts pouring on your outdoor café and more people are showing up, and you don’t have enough tables to seat them, and your café is in the process of being built while you’re running the day-to-day business… it’s much more difficult than I ever imagined! But, oh so much fun!
The game starts out with a little story video— somebody vandalizes the sign above the diner that says “Fat-Free Breakfast” so that it reads “Free Breakfast”… Flo and her chef, Cookie, arrive and see the issue shortly before the crazy rush of people all pile into the diner at once!
Well, the diner just cannot handle the rush, and it explodes! So now, in comes Mr. Big, think the villain on the train tracks; all that is missing is the twirly moustache! Mr. Big threatens to take over the land that Flo’s Diner was on… but helpful Hal, the construction worker who just cannot survive without Flo’s hash browns, saves the day and offers to rebuild the diner! So now, in the meantime, Flo must run her business as an outdoor café, dealing with rain, wind, earthquakes, and all sorts of different types of customers! Oh my!
It’s a time management scramble to get all the customers seated and served, and each type of customer has different likes and dislikes, seating requirements, levels of patience, and generosity (the businesswomen will tip great, IF you can make them happy, but the lawyers are almost impossible to please!) You can even earn extra points by “color matching”—which is matching the customer clothing color to the seat color!
All of the café activities are point, click, and drag on a colorful and fun interface that has poor Flo running all over the place. Good thing you can “buy” upgrades, such as faster running sneakers, as you gain more money at the café. Save up for the big-ticket items—umbrellas that open automatically when it starts raining (so you don’t have to think about it—so helpful!), and a new countertop that somehow helps Cookie prepare the food faster!
At the end of each “day” of business, Hal also lets you do some customization work on your new diner—pretty neat! I picked stars on my sidewalk… after all, my café will eventually draw Hollywood royalty… no really… I already had some celebrities show up! And they tipped well too!
The colors are bright and vivid, and the game just keeps getting better “day” after “day”! I have to tell the tutor that I totally get the economics of the restaurant biz now!

The Clumsy's Butterfly Effect Cheats and Walkthrough
|
By

I finally finished The Clumsy's: Butterfly Effect. This the second game in this fun series. It differs some from the first game, but not in a bad way. There are three new gadgets you can use and you get to travel through time putting back together inventions! The layout is much easier than the first game and they seem to have polished it up in that area. However, it's lacking some of the extra fun the first game had. This is pretty much a straight hidden object game. In fact there are 30 levels! That may not sound like a lot, but within each level, are anywhere from 4 to 6 hidden object areas to solve. Needless to say, this is a very long game! However, if you enjoyed the first one, then by all means, buy this one!
This game was not easy to finish. In fact I had planned to have it finished on Sunday, but alas, my roommate was driving me crazy! She has this annoying habit of standing behind me while sucking on a lollypop and pointing out objects over my shoulder. She is usually wrong too! So combine a constant slurping noise, mumble speak because the lollipop is still in her mouth when she talks, and someone poking and pointing. Add in the little black cloud that follows her everywhere and those infernal headphones that do not block out her music, if you call that music, and you have an extremely annoyed roommate. Namely, ME!
Well, as you can see I finally got through the guide, even with her "help." Now, I'm about to start a game called Sarah Maribu and the Lost World. Keep and eye out for it. After that, I will be working on Awakening: The Dreamless Castle. I hope to finish both this guides by the end of February, so keep your fingers crossed. Meanwhile, I have to figure away to get rid of my new roommate or reform her! Until next time, happy gaming!

Penny Dreadfuls Sweeny Todd Review
|
By

I have been staying pretty close to home during our latest storms. Most of the roads have been closed at one time or the other so you don’t want to go too far or you may not be able to get home for a day or two. My little dog Lulu loves to take a walk but hates the rain so it has been a struggle because she won’t wear any kind of sweater or coat. The trials and tribulations of owning a pet! So with time on my hands I have been playing games. Penny Dreadfuls Sweeny Todd is one of the best. You play a detective trying to catch up with a guy who is killing people and then having his girlfriend bake them into pies. Ugh!!I thought I might as well tell you that right at the beginning. If you can get past that you will have a good time playing.
This game is not easy. The puzzles are really hard and they give you no clues how to solve them. Some of them I solved and a lot of them I used the skip button. Using the skip button adds time to your game but personally don’t care how long it takes to play anyway. There is a jigsaw puzzle after every chapter that is fairly easy. Also you get graded after every chapter. Sometimes I did pretty well and other times not. Some of the hidden object scenes are crowed but they are clear so you get used to them. Also you are asked to find items I never heard OF. What the heck is a spotted dick anyway?!!! Once you play you will find out what they are talking about, if you can remember! I liked the fact that you had to go back and forth between scenes a lot to find clues. It really makes the game fun. Sweeny Todd had me hooked from the get go. If you are the squeamish kind you might want to look elsewhere for your entertainment. As for me I loved it! See what you think! |

Alice’s Tea Cup Madness Review
|
By

02/07/2010

Excuse me… I’ve just had tea with the queen… and how did you spend your afternoon?? That’s what I thought… certainly not as exciting as my afternoon… but we can’t all be privileged to dine with royalty.
LOL! Ok, so the snobbish tea party thing is a little too much fun for me… I’ll stop now. Alice’s Tea Cup Madness… how fun! Alice was always one of my favorite characters growing up… in fact I’m drinking out of a Alice in Wonderland cup right now, so I couldn’t help but be super excited when I saw this new game come out. I just HAD to play it right away!
The characters in this game are ridiculously cute! There’s the white rabbit, of course, and the Mad Hatter, and the queen, and my favorite… the Cheshire cat… who isn’t mad… but he’s cranky. Ha ha! Alice fell down the rabbit hole, but this time the only way out is to make money to cross the field of flowers… so Alice teams up with the white rabbit to open up a tea house in order to make some dough… or pastries… whatever.
Anyhow, it’s a challenging time management scramble to get the orders filled and the tea made and the pastries baked and topped appropriately. Later you add more toppings, and different kinds of teas and different pastry shapes to make it even more challenging! It’s crazy! Or should I say… mad?!
They even throw in some different kinds of time management techniques… such as if you have two orders of croissants, you can grab the pastry and drag your mouse over two places to fill two plates instead of running back and forth. Alice can only carry one plate at a time, so this comes in handy especially when the orders start pouring in. Ha get it? Pour… it’s a tea house? Huh? Man, I’m funny today!
My one word of advice is save your money up for the instant serves right away. This feature lets you automatically serve customers at once. So you can concentrate on making the orders and then all you have to do is click a button to serve all of them at once! It really is a time-saver!
The graphics are beautiful. Bright pinks, blues, and purples galore, and the game is super fun to play! I know what I’ll be doing for the rest of the weekend… well besides breaking for some quality time with my ummmm… “tutor.” I think we’re hitting it off pretty well… even though I still don’t understand a word he says about economics…
