Aura: Fate Of The Ages garnered 47/100% at Computer and Video Games and 4.5/5 stars at Glide Underground:

"As a diversion, and a change of pace for normal fast-paced gamers, it's great. If you are in the mood for a puzzle, and you haven't played it, it's a must-have."

Myst IV: Revelation got 4/5 stars at Gamespy:

"An outstanding story no Myst fan can miss; gorgeous graphics and environments; some ingenious and logical puzzles. Some of the puzzles are too cryptic for their own good, leaving you to wander lost and confused."

Syberia II received 4/5 stars at Gamerdad:

"Alas, there isn’t as much variety in locations as there were in the first game, plus the puzzles do not seem as intriguing or challenging as in the first game...But it’s the story that will keep players interested in “Syberia II” to its finale. Does this island exist? Is Hans delirious or is there really mammoths that roam across blue grass? Why is Kate really along for the ride? Will she return to her old life in New York when the quest is completed?...To find out these answers, pick up “Syberia II” for a memorable and strange adventure."

WANTED: A Wild Western Adventure (aka Fenimore Fillmore: The Westerner) lassoed a score of 6.6/10 at Gamespot:

"Wanted: A Wild Western Adventure boasts a certain quirky, ingratiating charm. It's a good thing, too, since the game suffers from some major problems--juvenile writing, a lame ending, a clunky camera and interface, some ill-conceived puzzles and action sequences, and major bugs, among other things. Still, fans of old-school adventures who can put up with a lot of problems should find the game reasonably entertaining."
