Call of Atlantis is an upcoming puzzle game by Playrix Entertainment for the PC. It is the third “Atlantis” game Playrix has released, the others being Atlantis Quest, and Rise of Atlantis. In this game, you must travel through seven ancient lands, such as Troy, Rome, and Egypt, and uncover the magic gems of power hidden in each.
As you travel through these lands, you progress by uncovering hidden artifacts on a Bejeweled like “match three” game board. Each artifact is split into pieces which you need to reassemble by moving them down to the bottom of the game board by eliminating the tiles beneath them. If you can match four or more symbols together, you can charge a special ability that will help you out by destroying random tiles on the board. Other abilities and power-ups are available to aid you in your journey as well.
In between the match three games you can find a hidden object mini game, where more artifact and treasure segments have been hidden, Where’s Waldo style, on one of several backgrounds. You need to simply click on the segments with your mouse to reassemble the treasures; once you have found them, that is.
The graphics are sharp, with great attention to detail for a match three type of game, especially during the hidden object sections. The different zones are bright and colorful, each having a distinct look and theme. While background to each game board is mostly stationary, occasional animations, such as weather effects, pop up from time to time and add to the over all feel of the game.
An added wrinkle to the match three strategy comes from the game boards themselves. While most match three boards are simple squares and rectangles, the boards in Call of Atlantis come in many different shapes, and the added angles and corners change the game play in interesting ways.
Call of Atlantis is more than an average match three game. If you enjoy puzzle games with more depth and challenge, such as Puzzle Quest, then you will definitely like Call of Atlantis. It is set for a November release.










The other challenge, besides the ones that have been mentioned, are the customers. The customers that would like their cars parked have all different personalities. Some customers are patient and other ones are in a hurry and needed their car yesterday. The cell phone guy is back and just as annoying as ever. His car makes noise, which makes all the other customers angry. Luckily, you are able to hit the car to make the sound stop.

Little Farm provides more challenges than just finding matches. Players have to manage such things as the waste pile that accumulates and get rid of the bugs that show up in later levels. The bugs can be swatted way with a click of the mouse, but they fly to the next vegetable and need to be swatted away again before they leave for good. Things get hectic between trying to find matches and stopping the bugs from eating the vegetables, but there are items you can buy to make life easier. The trucks bring your vegetables to the market and receive money for them. Players can buy different seeds as the game progresses, which make more money when sold at the market. The items help out a lot, but are fairly expensive and some items can only be bought later in the game.
Of course, there is more to do than just grab leaves and grow fruit. The weather is different from scenario to scenario, which requires you to keep the water level and temperature levels correct. Players can buy items to make their job easier, such as sprinklers, bug spray and heating lamps. The items you buy are present through out each scenario and they can stack. In other words, you can buy a sprinkler and a heating lamp and they will both be available to you. Players have to manage the weather and the fruit trees and as the levels progress there are more fruit trees thrown into the mix, which means more items for the player to manage.
