That didn't take long. I managed to play through all of Dream Chronicles in just a couple of days. It was far shorter than most games I'm used to playing. However, it was a decent change of pace. The puzzles weren't all that challenging. As with other hidden object games, however, the biggest challenge was usually finding the objects on screen. Most of the time it wasn't too bad. Other times, the items are so obscured that it gets a bit frustrating. You end up clicking mindlessly over entire regions looking for an item. I wouldn't have spent $20 on the game but I do feel that I got my $5 worth of enjoyment out of it.

I've taken a bit of a break from computer gaming since finishing Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy. I planned to dive into Age of Mythology this month but I haven't really had the time to devote to it. I thought that I might get through the entire month without any gaming news at all. Then, MacGameStore tempted me with their March Super Bundle. The bundle included Azada, Chocolatier 2, Dream Chronicles, Luxor 2, and Professor Fizzwizzle and the Molten Mystery. The entire bundle of five casual/puzzle games was only $25 so I bought it. I have sampled each game a bit and don't regret the purchase. These are nice games for when you only have a limited amount of play time available. You can play for ten or fifteen minutes and feel like you accomplished something. Save your progress and resume when you have some more free time.
