Review:

Ok, I admit.  I am a Nancy Drew FANatic.  I read nearly all of her adventures in my youth, some as an adult and I have played (repeatedly) almost ALL of the PC games!  I watch for the new ones and try to get them whenever I can.  Although I don't have the time to play as often as I would like, I do play frequently and get a bit aggravated if interrupted during a game.



When offered the chance to review (play for hours) the newest game out - I was hesitant. . . no, to be honest I believe I nearly begged for the chance but that is beside the point.  I love the games and often play them over and over.  I am not great at the Senior mode even with repeated play so I still play in Junior with the extra hints and helps.  



In Nancy Drew: Sea of Darkness I once again began my adventure in Junior mode and fought valiantly through each puzzle along the way.  With frequent distractions I have not yet made it to the end but have made it to what I would consider about half way through the game play so far.  I love the mini puzzles and will sometimes go back and play them over and over when stuck during the game or even when finished with the full game play.  



I love that with every Nancy Drew pc title that Her Interactive puts out I never get bored.  As I previously said, I have played nearly all of the games and every one brings new puzzles, new challenges, new exciting characters and more great adventure.  This newest installment does not disappoint.  With intriguing characters and edge of my computer seat action, I am kept interested and still guessing "who done it" through most of the game.



I highly recommend Nancy Drew: Sea of Darkness to all PC gamers, mystery lovers and those who enjoy a challenge that keeps you on your toes and coming back for more!

Going green in your kitchen might be a lot easier than you first think. Manufacturers and designers know that eco-friendly appliances are in big demand and there are loads of products out there to fill the market. However, you don't have to spend hundreds of dollars to do your part. Take a look at these simple yet effective tips to achieve a greener home.





Vintage island

If you're thinking of adding an island to the layout of your kitchen, get creative and save some cash. You can find an old table then sand it down, paint it in a favorite color and give it a varnish. Then

you can add some storage fittings underneath if needed. It will give your kitchen some vintage charm and a totally unique look.

Herb garden

We've all bought a herb plant, used it once then watched it shrivel up and die before we next use it. Dedicate a space near the window where you can place a selection of herbs and make reminders to look after and water them. In the long run you will save money, add extra flavor to your meals and brighten up your windowsill.





Can it be repaired?

So the washing machine is quite old and has started playing up? Before taking it to the tip and investing in a new one, ask a professional to take a look at it and see if it can be fixed. Even if it only has a few more months left in it, you'll save on taking up wastage space. When you do dispose of it, make sure you take it to a special recycling park.





Cook smart

Use your microwave when you can in order to save energy used when using your oven. Also cook in batches so that you use the oven once rather than every night. You could make meals that can be eaten cold or heated up quickly in the microwave. Also try to keep your food fresh rather than frozen in order to shorten cooking times.





Built in compost bin

Compost bins utilise food wastage by feeding your garden's soil. You might even want to use it in your green house or vegetable patch. Make one by storing a bin under the worktop and throwing in your food wastage after every meal. Make sure to keep your eye on it and take it out every few days so that you don't get a funny smell!





Buy energy star appliances

When it does come down to buying appliances, look out for the energy stars. Americans save $30 billion by choosing energy star rated products. Although they might initially be more expensive than other models, the end saving is totally worth it.



 It's the little things that make a big difference, so remember to try and do your bit with the kitchen. A happy kitchen will make for a happy home and happy cooking! Have fun with it.
