The big syndication wagon of "Hidden object" games is gaining speed, and taking the internet by storm. Big Fish Games, one of the major publishers of these games, have released another one for us, this time in the "Forgotten Riddles" series. |

The game is set in modern times, where the player, as the chief archaeologist, is given the task of finding out how artefacts left by the princess of the royal Mayan family (who had died in 1536), had been uncovered dating back to 1556. The game is the typical of the "hidden object" games, where the player has to find a list of objects on a picture. The difference is that the list is in the form of riddles, and each riddle is solved by finding the correct object on the screen. The only bad thing is, the areas are reused a lot, as are the riddles within them, giving the game a very repetitive feel. The difficulty of the game is somewhat too easy, and there isn't much to break up the gameplay. |

The graphics are pretty simple, and look very roughly drawn, and the ambient sounds are barely noticeable. All in all, this game feels like a very rushed and unfinished product, and may not be worth the money spent. |

Well, the scabby copy train of "Where's Waldo" puzzles has pooped another piece out, this time taking a few of your dollars for the privileges of playing the same crap again.
Some crap about Mayan's and their princesses and Spaniards, blah, blah. So here's the new story. Your name is Eduardo Diego, and you have been hired to protect the 500 year old Mayan princess, but little do you know, she's horny! So he gets his… I'm gonna stop there.
The game looks like shit, it feels like I'm playing the same level over and over again, but that could be cause I actually am. I mean, there's like 3 levels and 10 objects, so you just play all the levels over and over, finding the same objects. By the end, you'll be able to find the objects by memory. And instead of just asking for the object, the fuken thing puts it in a really lave and easy riddle, like "I am made of glass and used to drink from.". WTF, just say glass!!! That's not a riddle, it's a waste of words. Here is a screenshot of how devastatingly easy these "puzzles" are.
A brain dead lemur could solve them!
