Flo games always keep you challenged and busy for hours. I’ve played many time management games and the Diner Dash series is the hardest to beat. Here’s a paragraph from my Diner Dash Hometown Hero game review: “Diner Dash games continue to be the hardest ones to play in its genre and it doesn’t stop here. I don’t get very far before they have me banging my head on my desk. I can’t be that lousy of a player at these games since I manage to get through other tough diner games including Turbo Pizza — an insane one.”

On a visit to her hometown, Flo and her Grandma Florence take a stroll down memory lane. Bring five restaurants back to life, and meet new customers like the Hungry Man and the Celebrity. Take special care of customers with reservations and place flowers at tables in order to make diners happier. Stuck with a four-person group and no four-person tables? Now you can move tables together to create a larger table. Help restore Flo’s hometown now!

What is the first thing that comes to mind with “Affair Bureau?” I’m thinking of a salacious story of an affair between a bureau and a chair. And a nightstand turns insanely jealous as it struggles to profess its love for chair. No good? OK, so it’s really about someone starting up his own FBI, CIA, KGB, [fill in your favorite made up abbreviation].

I love the Dream Chronicles series. Now with a name like “Book of Air,” you have to wonder if such a book exists if it’s made of air. OK, so another way to read it is that the book or episode is about air, and that’s applies to this one. I reviewed Dream Chronicles: The Book of Air. I’d like to review games more often, but no matter how many time machine games I play — none gives me more time to play.

PC and Mac Catch of the Week: Dream Chronicles: The Book of Air: Help Lyra, Faye’s daughter, find the unique Clockmaker and escape from a strange dimension in Dream Chronicles: The Book of Air! The day before her 18th birthday, Lyra finds herself trapped in a strange dimension. Following clues sent by her grandfather she flies across the realm in search of a mysterious person who will help her restore time and return home. Solve intriguing puzzles and find Hidden Objects to reunite Lyra with her family!

If I were to judge the game on name alone, I’d be wondering why someone would be a Lord of mirrors. Or is Mirrors the name of a country or province. Wouldn’t that be strange? I’m from Mirrors. It’s near Wales, but no one hears about us because Wales gets all the attention.
