I hate to admit it, but I find myself playing a lot of these stupid hidden object games lately. I played quite a few old school adventure games when I was younger, and one thing that always stuck with me was how nonsensical some of the puzzles were. Why would the thing used to solve this obviously high-techy puzzle be in a fucking tomb? I guess I enjoyed easier games where manipulating objects made more sense in the context. Like Foozle's Stone Eyeball being on his tomb on a statue, and you need it to unock his fucking spellbook or something. That I could handle.
Ummm...
So the hidden object games make less sense. Why do I need to search the Sheriff's office for the gem idol that opens Foozle's tomb? They often have laughable voice acting as well. So I play them for the ironic factor. I don't really like them. Nope.
