I know this is the new thing people are playing now, but I miss the old adventure games where you're a detective and have to solve a mystery! I'm sick to death of having to find hidden objects!
Can you PLEASE start putting out more adventure games that are similar to Nancy Drew or Siberia? I';; probably end up canceling my subscription to your site because the only thing you put out are HOG!
It might be more valuable for you to know that not everyone likes hidden object games as they are extremely redundant!

Your timing could not be more perfect posting this. In fact Gamehouse has released more of the match 3 variety, have a partnership with Anuman Interactive, and Phantom EFX to name a few and this is just the beginning I believe!

I'm with you. It seems like all of the games are either hidden object or match 3. I'm so tired of both. We need more variety in the types of games available. My GamePass credits are piling up because I'm not going to buy games that are nearly the same as all of the others.

Love to see more platform games and first person shooters like the game Feelers. HO games are getting old. Plants vs Zombies 2 would be great and if you like that try Mini robot wars. Just let me shoot, kill, and blow up things and I'll be happy. Speaking of match 3 a new RooGoo would be cool.

There are many platform games out there that I would like to see here. I have two game credits because I can't decide what to buy.
Maybe some good card games would be nice. Haven't seen any of them.

RooGoo is Games For Windows platform which I don't think may be appropriate for GameHouse yet due to its high system requirements for such a simple game.

Hi you all,

I love as example games with a story line, puzzles and hogs, I know there are gamers, which prefer other genders of games.

GH is really buying in games to make us all happy. Sometimes there are several with the same gender released. It is not GH's mistake. It has to do with work overs and developer-releases, so they have to wait for developers promises to get fulfilled, waiting until the suggested changes take place, sometimes there are several changes to be made and corrected etc.

It gives a thread which is called Existing Game Titles You would like to see at Game House. Why not send there a message and let them know what you guys and galls want!

Cheers
Lagoona

Most of us are just saying the genres we like. I don't have a specific game in mind except another Delicious game, and that's already in the works.

Same here, elliebumble. I haven't ever finished one of the HO's with a mystery attached, either because I get stuck or I get impatient.

On the contrary, more HOGs, especially FrOGs and IHOG's, please.

And there you have it, folks... requests for less of and more of the same genres! Just last week someone requested MORE hogs, as well as bamlink today. I think our problem is that there's so much out there now (compared to say 5 or 10 years ago) that we're all quite spoiled! I know I am... sometimes I'll sit and stare at a whole desktop full of game icons and can't pick one to play. Oh the good ol' days, when each new game release brought true excitement. But I can well see how you'd have passes piling up these days, and I think GH is doing their darned best under the circumstances. But it would be a help if more would use the Titles list, as Lagoona suggested. TM has always been a favorite of mine, but the only one I'm really waiting for is the new Emily. (yea, yusef!)

I don't know about that. If you have a game that will sell then get it. It doesn't take much more than a good hog.

Have you tried Antique Roadtrip 2 Homecoming yet? It's mostly click, click, but the mini games (which are pretty good) are built into the hidden object scenes. So, you get a little break from the click click of finding things but the mini games are necessary to further the game (although you can skip them and still move forward). I'm not too far into it yet, but I like it. It's more interesting and harder than the last Antique Road Trip. As soon as I play a little more, I'll write a review on it.

I am really glad that you are putting out more hidden object games. I agree with bamlink. We need more HOGS, but especially IHOGS and FROGS. Those are the only kind of games I play. I am 61 and I don't have the reflexes anymore to play a lot of the games and I don't have the memory I used to to play detective games where I have to keep track of people and clues. I've been seriously considering canceling my Gamehouse FunPass because there have not been enough of the HOGS, IHOGS, and FROGS that I can play during the month. Some of the games you put out I have already gotten on other game sites. But I have really enjoyed the last week or so when you have put out the kind of games I like. Keep up the good work please.

I was going to ask that.

I have played antique roadtrip2 and I enjoyed it. I like the Little Shop games and the Mystery PI games, I bought them all when I was a member of Real Arcade. If you know of any more games like these then could you let me know, please, and I will give them a try.

Thank you Michelle

Hi Yusef,

When I responded about the existing page, I was more thinking of you guys and galls being heard. It doesn't matter if you don't mention a specific game title, but just that GH knows what you want and what you don't want. It is easier for them to have it all together on one thread then read through all of them to gather their feedback.

Cheers

Hi Elliebumble,

You can enter at the right side of this page by Enter Game Title Hidden Object and hit the search button. You will find all sorts of games, which have hidden objects, you can see it up in the genre column. If you want to know more about this specific game you can click on the picture and read the review.

Did you ever played Hodgepodge Hollow. It has a lot of clicks in this game and it is beautifully drawn. At the end of each level with a lot of HO's you have to mix a potion. You have a recipe and you can memorize as many ingredients as you like and add them, if you can't remember anymore you can look up the receipt again and continue, where you have left. It's that easy. Give it a try and let me know how you liked it.

Cheers
Lagoona

Thank you Lagoona

I have used the hidden object button and looked through most of the games, but it is good to know of games that other players like.

I am just going to download Hodgepodge Hollow.

Thank you Michelle x

FYI
IHOG Interactive Hidden Object Game
FROG Fragmented Object Game, this is when you have an object that is in pieces and you have together them all to make a whole.

I am an old-school adventure gamer as well, but I think right now the majority of adventure-type games are meshed with HOGs (iHOGs, FROGS), so I am happy when they are released here (think Devil on the Mississippi, Malgrave Incident, etc). For every one of us who want more adventure games, there are just as many who want time management or match 3 I an happy to see a good variety even if I don't play the others much (although I do *love* the Delicious series, only TM games I've ever loved that much!). I don't mind the HOGs as long as they have a good story and also have puzzles and adventure in them (think Phantasmat).

Hi, lilybeth! Just saw your post, and want to you to the forum! I agree... I do enjoy the games you mentioned, something to get "involved" in, instead of pointing and clicking. And hurrah for another Delicious fan! Several of us here have that as a favorite also.
