Mixed-Up Mother Goose Deluxe

mrdav — Tue, 06 Aug 2013 11:19:02 +0000

Aimed at pre-school children, Sierra's Mixed-up Mother Goose Deluxe is planted firmly in familiar ground for its age group. It is based on nursery rhymes so there are appearances by Little Bo Peep, Little Jack Horner, Jack and Jill and Humpty Dumpty, to name but a few. It's not a 'new' title as such, but this Deluxe version for both IBM and Mac is delightfully entertaining with quirky animations, bright and colourful graphics and a suitably up-beat sound track. Also, it is playable in both English and Spanish. (From the review)

Someone's on a killing spree, and it's up to you to solve the murders. Some clues bring you closer to the killer. Others may lead down blind alleys. Find the killer before he strikes again. Make a mistake, and you could be the next victim.

The body was found at 3 am, the naked torso tortured and mutilated. Just another body in another alley on another morning in the City of Angels. But this one's more than a statistic to you. He's your best friend.
