Detective Secrets Solitaire - Silent Conspiracy is a card game with a Solitaire theme encased within a detective story involving fraud and mismanagement.  Developed by DIGIMIGHT, this title combines cut-scenes, mini game puzzles and 300 Solitaire layouts in a story line that I found to be more than a little confusing in its flow and the way it was presented. The game opens as you are introduced to Grace, a young woman, who had expected to inherit her parent's property on their passing.

Developed by T1 Games, Block Rush is a new puzzle offering.  You could almost regard Block Run as an inverted Match 3 puzzle game.  Instead of trying to clear away tiles from a grid, you will be required to add tiles to a grid layout playing field.  The idea involved in this game will be to fill rows and/or columns so that you receive an appropriate reward.

Relaxing Time - Paradise Resort is a Hidden Object game that is available in Collector's Edition format.  As its title might indicate, the game is set at Paradise Resort, an establishment that is due to prepare for its grand opening before it guests arrive to enjoy the facilities that will be on offer.  You will be required to help get everything ready which hardly seems to fit in with the Relaxing Time part of the product's title.
