Angry Birds Match vs Found: A Hidden Object Adventure
Angry Birds Match
Angry Birds Match adds a different twist to the usual slingshot-based gameplay that the Angry Birds franchise is incredibly renowned for. In this brand-new spin-off, Rovio delivers a whole new match-3 adventure where you'll not only need to organize the Hatchlings' party but also to protect it from the mischievous pigs. Mix and match up tons of cakes and party decor to solve the many and varied puzzle levels available. You can also bring out the big boys a.k.a. the Angry Birds like Red, Chuck, and Bomb with a match-4, and use explosive Boosters to clear the toughest levels. The best part of this game though, aside from the fact that you can play this game completely offline, is definitely the crazy-cute Hatchlings that you can collect. You can even visit them and put on the new outfits you've unlocked!Angry Birds Match may have done a complete 360 on the iconic gameplay that had made the franchise famous, but this isn't exactly their first attempt at doing so - There's an Angry Birds-themed racing game called Angry Birds Go! after all. That being said, this new game does help Rovio experiment with various other game genres just to see which new field they can expand the franchise into... and apparently, the casual match-3 genre is a pretty good bet.
Found: A Hidden Object Adventure
Found: A Hidden Object Adventure is a free-to-play hidden object game (HOG) by Big Fish Games that you can play straight on your browser. The game is multidimensional, much like Mystery Manor or any of the other "hardcore" HOGs, as it offers missions where you banish creatures or barter with the locals for some extra energy in addition to the usual hidden object scenes. The story may be a bit cliche - you crash landed on a mysterious tropical island while travelling via plane - but things quickly took an intriguing turn once pirates, magic and a generous dose of mystery are added into the mix. There are, surprisingly, many interesting characters to meet as well - you would have thought the island would be deserted!Despite its old-school looks, Found: A Hidden Object Adventure is quite a find for any fan of the hidden object genre. If you're interested, be sure to give it a try!
