How to Play Youda Legend The Golden Bird of Paradise:

• Once the game fully loads click the 'Start Game' button.
• Type your name in the space provided, and select your gender. Then, click the 'Continue' button.

• Each time you find and click on a hidden object, that item will be removed from the picture and the item will be crossed off the list.
• The hint timer is located near the upper left corner just below the Menu button. It sort of looks like a blue fan, or hat, on top of the masked figure. When the hint timer is full, you can click on it to help you find some of the more difficult hidden objects. When you click on the hint timer, Youda Legend: The Golden Bird of Paradise will encircle one of the hidden objects with a glowing blue circular shape. The item you need to find will be somewhere within that circle. You may use the hint timer as many times as you need whenever it is full.
• You will need to find all of the hidden objects on the list before you can go on to the next level of play.
• Some of the hidden objects you find are useful, and go into your inventory. You will use some of your inventory items to help you find more hidden objects, or to solve puzzles.
• The items in your inventory may be viewed anytime by moving your mouse towards the bottom of the game screen where you see the word 'inventory'. When you do, your inventory screen will pop up where you can look at the items you found. Move your mouse away to close the inventory pop up screen.
• To use an inventory item, simply drag the item to a spot where you want to use it.
• The magnifying glass is located near the upper left corner just to the right of the 'Menu' button. Click on the magnifying glass to make everything bigger. Click on it again to go back to normal view.
• In this free demo version of Youda Legend: The Golden Bird of Paradise there are 4 hidden object games and 3 puzzle games.
• For the puzzle games, you may skip the puzzles after the 'Skip' button gets full, but this will cost you points. The 'Skip' button is located at the top, just to the right of the 'Menu' button.
• After you have solved all 7 puzzles you will come to a 'Go Premium' screen. If you click the 'Go Premium' button you will be taken to another site where you may purchase the premium version of the game.

• After you have solved all of the puzzles, you cannot play the game again using the same player name unless you first remove your name from the list. (If you try, you will simply be taken back to the 'Go Premium' screen). So if you wish to play again, first from the Main Menu click the 'Other Player' button. Then, on the 'Players list' window you can either click the 'Remove' button to remove your player name, or click one of the 'Create' buttons to create a different player name.

• Do play Youda Legend: The Golden Bird of Paradise on full screen. Some of the hidden objects are really small, and hard to see. So, playing the game on full screen will give you the best possible gaming experience you can have.

Richard's Rating: 4 out of 5.

Comments: The best feature of Youda Legend: The Golden Bird of Paradise are the wonderful graphics and special effects. The special effects are simply outstanding! Most of the hidden objects are not too hard to find, but some can certainly be challenging. I do like the fact that the game has no time limit. And if you should get stuck the hint timer can be very helpful. (Although I have to confess that I have had trouble occasionally finding an object even after using the hint timer. lol.) Another cool feature is that each time you play Youda Legend: The Golden Bird of Paradise although the pictures will be the same, the list of hidden objects will be different. So the game does offer good variety. I do think it would have been nice, however, if this free demo version had just a couple of more games. All in all though, if you like hidden object games, I think you will probably enjoy playing Youda Legend: The Golden Bird of Paradise.

Match Around the World

Game Description: Play Match 3 games on a map Around the World! The goal of Match Around the World is to drive specific puzzle pieces off of the grid by making matches below them, and occasionally depending on how the grid is configured, sometimes by making matches to the left or right. When you do, each piece will float up to the left to form a picture. If you are able to complete the picture before time runs out, you win, and you go on to the next level of play. But be careful, because if you are uanble to complete the enitre picture and time runs out, you lose, and the game is instantly over!

How to Play Match 3 Games:

• If you are not familiar with Match 3 play, the idea is to swap tiles that are next to each other either horizontally or vertically.
• You may swap tiles either by clicking each tile individually, or by using a dragging motion.
• If the resulting swap results in a match of 3 or more identical tiles, those tiles will swap positions and all matched tiles will be destroyed and disappear from the grid. And just as important, any tiles that are above will drop down and take the place of any destroyed tiles.
• If your attempted swap does not result in a match of 3 or more, nothing will happen, and you will simply need to try a different match.

How to Play Match Around the World:

• Once the game fully loads, and it may take a little while because Match Around the World has a rather large game file, click the 'Play' button.
• If this is your first time playing, the next screen you see will be the 'Around the World' map. Click the 'Play' button in the lower right corner to begin the first level, which is Brazil.
• Once the game pieces are shuffled, notice the special puzzle pieces in the grid. Each piece is part of a picture.
• Your goal is to make matches usually below each puzzle piece, but occasionally to either its left or right depending on how a particular grid is configured, and drive it off the grid where it will then be released and float up to the left.
• Most of the time you will need to drive the special puzzle pieces to the bottom where they will exit the grid. However, a few of the grids have spaces somewhat near the top or the middle, that I like to call windows, where the special puzzle pieces may also exit. Also, some of the grids have irregular bottoms, rather than uniform bottoms, with some of the columns being shorter than others.
• The clock is located near the upper left corner. Watch it carefully!
• If you are able to drive all of the trapped puzzle pieces off the grid, and thus complete the entire picture before time runs out, you win, and go on to the next level of play.
• The faster you complete each level, the more Time Bonus points you will earn.
• But be careful. If you are unable to complete the entire picture before time runs out, you lose, and the game is instantly over!
• As long as you don't lose, and use the same computer as before, Match Around the World should automatically save your game progress. Then, when you come back, click the 'Play' button. Then click the 'Continue Previous Game' button to continue your saved game.
• Match Around the World has 20 levels of play.

Play Match Around the World on Full Screen

Please Note: Before playing Match Around the World in Full Screen mode, you may want to take a moment, or two, to read my review. Then, after playing your game, simply click the back button on your browser to return to this page.

The Match Around the World Hammer:

• The Match Around the World Hammer is located near the lower left corner.
• Charge the Hammer up by making multiple matches of 3 or more with a single move, or by making matches of 4 or more.
• When the Hammer is fully charged up it will change into a grey color and start to rock from side to side, signaling that it is ready to be used.
• To use the Hammer, first click on the Hammer. Then click on a tile within the grid.
• If the tile you use the Hammer on is not chained, or frozen, it will be destroyed.
• If you use the Hammer on a chained tile, the chain will be removed. If you use the Hammer on a frozen tile, it will become unfrozen. Now the tile can be matched and destroyed like any other tile.
• You may charge up the Hammer as many times as you would like during a level. However, the Hammer does not carry over a partial charge to the next level. In other words, each level begins with the Hammer completely uncharged.

The Match Around the World Chained Tiles:

• Some tiles have chains on them.
• A chained tile cannot be moved or destroyed until the chain has been removed.
• To remove a chain you must either bring at least two other identical colored tiles to the chained tile, or use the fully charged Hammer on it.
• After the chain is removed from the tile, the tile will act like a regular tile and can then be moved or destroyed.

The Match Around the World Frozen Tiles:

• Frozen tiles look like they have icicles on their upper halves.
• Frozen tiles behave similar to chained tiles. So just use the same ideas I presented above.

Match Around the World Game Options: There are two separate game controls located in the lower left corner. The control on the left turns the music on or off. The control on the right turns the game sounds on or off. These contols may also be accessed by clicking the 'Pause' button.


Match Around the World Playing Tips:

• If you should get stuck for a while, Match Around the World will suggest a move by using a glowing effect on two tiles that are eligible to be swapped. Remember, this is merely a suggestion. It may be a good move, or a poor move. If you have enough time you may want to look around. You may find something better.
• Should there will no more matches remaining on the entire grid, Match Around the World will let you know, and then it will automatically reshuffle the entire grid for you. Then, just keep playing as usual.
• Try to remove the chains from tiles whenever you can. Because chained tiles cannot be moved, they tend to clog up the grid. This limits your flexibility. However, do not spend an inordinate amount of time trying to remove every chain. Remember your only goal is to drive each special puzzle piece off the grid. Many times you will be able to work around a chained tile.
• Look for matches of 4 or more so you can charge up the Hammer quicker, and more often. Using the Hammer can really help you get out of a sticky situation.
• If I remember correctly, on Level 8, France, and on Level 10, Italy, you may find most, and possibly all, of the special puzzle pieces located directly above chained tiles in one or more columns on the extreme edges of the grid. What you need to do is to charge up the Hammer multiple times. Then use it two times on any chained tile, or once on any unchained tile, that is blocking your way and preventing the trapped puzzle pieces from falling to the bottom.
• On Level 11, Turkey, there are two 'windows' in the upper part of the grid. The special puzzle pieces can also exit from either of these windows rather than having to drive them to the very bottom. This can save you a lot of time.
• Remember on some levels like Level 13, the bottom of the grid is not uniform. Rather it juts up in certain places. This means, just like in Level 11, you can take a shortcut if you can get the special puzzle pieces to exit up higher on the grid.
• If it looks like you are about to lose a level, there is an easy way out. Simply leave the page, and then come back. When you do come back, click the 'Play' button. Then click the 'Continue Previous Game' button. This allows you to begin the level you were about to lose all over again, with your previous score still intact. Yes, it is a bit unethical, but it does work.
• Do play Match Around the World on full screen. It will be easier on your eyes, and chances are you will progress further in the game.

Richard's Rating: 3 out of 5.

Comments: Even though Match Around the World is certainly a lot of fun, I did find myself getting bored several times. I would suggest that for anyone who plays this game to only play a few levels at a time, and then come back later and continue. That might help alleviate some of the boredom.

Birds on a Wire

Game Description: Birds on a Wire is in essence a bubble shooting game, although in this game you shoot birds instead of bubbles. The idea is to make matches of three or more similiar birds to remove them from the playing field. If you are able to remove all of the birds before any bird reaches the horizontal line at the bottom, you win, and you go on to the next level of play. However if even one bird reaches the line at the bottom, it is instant game over! Good luck, and have fun!

How to Play Birds on a Wire:

• Once the game fully loads, click the 'Play' button to begin.
• The bird you are going to shoot is positioned on the spring-like contraption.
• Aim with your mouse, and click to shoot.
• The idea is to make matches of three or more similiar birds to remove them from the playing field.
• If you are able to remove all of the birds before any bird reaches the horizontal line at the bottom, you win, and you go on to the next level of play.
• However if even one bird reaches the line at the bottom, it is instant game over!

Birds on a Wire Game Options:

• The game sounds may be turned on or off by clicking the microphone icon located near the lower left corner.

Birds on a Wire Playing Tips:

• Watch the 'Danger Level' on the right side. When it gets to the top stripe, all of the birds will move down to the next wire.
• You will always know what type of bird you will be shooting with your next shot because you will see this bird fluttering just inside the lower right pole. Knowing the next bird you will shoot can help you plan your current shot.
• Learn the bank shot where you will bounce the bird off of one of the side poles, either on the left or right. Many times the only way to reach your intended target will be to use the bank shot. The bank shot is easy to learn, and only takes a little bit of practice to perfect.
• Try to make matches higher up on the playing field, because if any birds are only connected to the other birds at the point where your shot hits, all of the lower birds will be removed too. That is the way to remove large numbers of birds with a single shot.
• Take you time with each shot, because Birds on a Wire has no clock or time limit.

Richard's Rating: 4 out of 5.

Comments: Birds on a Wire is pure, simple, entertainment.

Please Note: I apologize for Birds on a Wire being cut-off somewhat on the right side. There seems to be no easy solution to fixing this. However, you can still play the game without having any problems, because you can see everything that you need to see. So, at worst, this is simply a minor inconvenience.

Chief Eagle Solitaire

Game Description: Chief Eagle Solitaire is a pyramid solitaire game, which means it is based on the number 13. However, there are two big differences from the traditional pyramid solitaire type of game. The first difference is that the familiar pyramid pattern that you would typically see in most pyramid solitaire games is not used. Instead, Chief Eagle Solitaire uses its own three unique patterns, that are repeated throughout the game. The other key difference is that all 52 cards are dealt face up, and no cards are left in the pack, so you always know the whereabouts of every card. The object, of course, is to make combinations of cards adding up to the number 13, and try to remove all 52 cards from the playing field. If you do, you win and you go on to the next round. If you run out of moves... it is instant game over!

How to Play Chief Eagle Solitaire:

• Once the game fully loads, you will see the main game screen.
• If you already know how to play pyramid solitaire you can skip the tutorial. You should also uncheck the 'Show Instructions' box. Then click 'Play'.
• If you are new to pyramid solitaire, or if you haven't played in a while, it is probably a good idea to either watch the tutorial or at least leave the 'Show Instructions' box checked.
• At the beginning of each round, all 52 cards will be dealt face up in stacks in overlapping style. There are three distinct patterns that will be repeated, and used in rotation, as you move from round to round.
• Each card has a numerical value. Kings count as 13, Queens count as 12, and Jacks count as 11. All other cards count as their normal face value. For instance, a six counts as 6, a five counts as 5, and so forth. Aces count as 1.
• The goal is to make combinations of cards that add up to the number 13.
• Combinations adding up to 13 may only consist of a single card (a King), or two cards, but never more than two cards.
• The only cards that may be clicked are the top card of each stack, or the card in the 'Temp Card Store'.
• The 'Temp Card Store' is a rectangular space located near the lower right corner. It is a place where you may temporiarly store one card. Moving a card to the 'Temp Card Store' gives you flexibility, and can help you win your round!
• You may move any top card of a stack to the 'Temp Card Store', but only when the 'Temp Card Store' is unoccupied. To move a card to the 'Temp Card Store', first click on the top card of a stack, then click on the space that says 'Temp Card Store'.
• When you click on cards that combine to make a total of 13, those cards will be removed from the playing field.
• Use the 'Undo' button to undo your last move. (You may only use the 'Undo' button to go back one move, but never more than one move).
• Your objective is to remove all 52 cards from the playing field. If you do, you win and go on to the next round of play.
• If you run out of moves, and there are no more possible combinations of 13 that can be made, Chief Eagle Solitaire will tell you that there are no more moves available and the game is lost.

How to Score in Chief Eagle Solitaire:

• Score 500 points for each combination that you make adding up to 13.
• As each round begins, you will see 'Time Bonus' points counting down in the upper left corner. If you successfully complete your round before the 'Time Bonus' gets all the way down to zero, you will earn any 'Time Bonus' points that remain. These 'Time Bonus' points will be added to your score at the end of the round.
• You will automatically receive huge bonus points for each round you successfully complete!
• Also score a 'Round Number Bonus' for each round you successfully complete. The 'Round Number Bonus' is the round number multipled by 1000. So for Round 1, the 'Round Number Bonus' would be 1000. For Round 2, it would be 2000. And for Round 3 it would be 3000. (Please note: Because the same three rounds are repeated throughout the game, the 'Round Number Bonus' itself will never exceed 3000. However, after you successfully complete Round 3, your total score will keep accumulating as you move up each round).

Play Chief Eagle Solitaire on Full Screen

Please Note: Before playing Chief Eagle Solitaire in Full Screen mode, you may want to take a moment, or two, to read my review. Then, after playing your game, simply click the back button on your browser to return to this page.

Chief Eagle Solitaire Game Options:

• You can pause the game by clicking the 'Menu' button located near the lower left corner. Click the 'Resume' button to continue your paused game.
• The game sounds may be turned on or off by clicking the microphone icon, also located in the lower left corner, just above the 'Menu' button.

Chief Eagle Solitaire Playing Tips:

• When you move a card to the 'Temp Card Store', you should always have a definite plan in mind on how you will remove this card by pairing it with another card that will add up to 13. This means that you must think at least one move ahead, and sometimes several moves ahead.
• When you click on a card, watch the bottom of the screen. Chief Eagle Solitaire will tell you what card you need to complete the pair. For instance, if you click on a nine card you will see the message "4 Required To Complete the Pair".
• If you click on a card that you would like to be the first card in a combination and then change your mind, simply click on a different card to begin a new combination.
• Learn the combinations that add up to 13. This just takes a little bit of practice. For example: Queen and Ace, Jack and Deuce, Ten and Three, and so forth. Knowing these combinations ahead of time will enable you to work faster, and work more efficiently.
• When you have a choice of playing two different cards, and one of the cards has other cards beneath it, and the other card does not, always play the card that covers other cards. The reason is obvious. The more cards you have uncovered, the more choices you have, and the more potential plays you can make.
• Don't hesitate to use the 'Undo' button when it will help you. Yes, each time you use the 'Undo' button you will temporarily lose 500 points. However, you will immediately make up those 500 points with your very next match of 13. So there really is no downside to using the 'Undo' button.
• You may use the 'Hint' button should you struggle to find a pair of cards that add up to 13. But remember, this will only show you a random move, and it may not be the best one.
• If you are an experienced pyramid solitaire game player, you should usually be able to take advantage of Round 1 by finishing fast because Round 1 is probably the easiest of the three rounds that are repeated throughtout the entire game. Finishing Round 1 quickly will allow you to rack up big 'Time Bonus' points. Of course, whether you can take advantage of Round 1 depends on what type of deal you receive. If you happen to get a difficult deal for Round 1, Round 1 can be plenty tough. I have to admit that I have lost quite a few times in Round 1 myself. And also keep in mind that your primary objective is always to win a round, regardless of time, so you may continue in the game.
• For Round 2, there are two large stacks of cards in the middle. Each of these stacks has ten cards. Pay close attention to these. It is to your advantage to shorten these stacks before using up too many other cards, if you can. You don't want to get near the end of this round with either of these stacks too deep, because deep stacks are much harder to deal with. Of course, as with every round, how you play Round 2 will depend on the deal you receive.
• Do play Chief Eagle Solitaire in full screen mode. The cards will be easier to see, and you will have a lot more fun.

Richard's Rating: 5 out of 5.

Comments: Chief Eagle Solitaire is a superb game of strategy. With its three unique patterns, it is probably even more challenging than Pyramid Solitaire Ancient Egypt, although both games are equally good.

Eagle Eye

Game Description: You will be shown a number of pictures. Each picutre contains a certain number of moving shapes, either overlapping or standing alone. Observe the objects carefully and click the picture which is not the same as the others before the time is up. At the higher levels, the number of pictures will increase, the shapes will move faster, and they will become more complex by having more colors, varieties and components. Do not fall into their traps nor let them fool you!

How to Play Eagle Eye:

• Once the game loads, click the 'Start' button.
• For each level, you will be shown a number of moving pictures. Each picture has shapes that are either overlapping or standing alone.
• The time is shown near the upper right corner of the game.
• Your objective is to find and click the one picture that is different than the others before the time gets down to zero.
• Each time you successfully click the correct picture within the allotted time, you earn points and go up another level.
• Your score will be based on the remaining seconds after you have completed a level.
• You begin the game with 3 lives.
• If you make the wrong choice, or if you fail to make a guess within the allotted time, you will lose one life.
• The game ends when you lose your last remaining life.

Eagle Eye Game Options: The game options are accessed by clicking the object located near the lower right corner of the game screen, just under the question mark. It sort of looks like a gear shaft. Here are the options:

• The game sounds may be turned from high to low.
• The game music may be turned from high to low.
• Full Screen may be turned on or off.

Eagle Eye Playing Tips:

• If you are running out of time, you may as well just take a guess, because if you don't click a picture within the allowed time you will lose a life automatically. And, of course, you just might make a lucky guess!
• Do play Eagle Eye in full screen mode. You will have a lot more fun, and chances are you will also be more successful.

What's New? Page 8

The main purpose of the What's New? pages is to tell you about any news, and any changes, here at Richard's Game Reviews. However, I also use these pages as sort of an online journal; and I sometimes talk about day-to-day things in my personal life too.

I don't post to these pages regularly, or follow any certain schedule. In fact, I have been known not to post here for weeks, and occasionally even for months at a time. As I said in my very first What's New? post: I will post "as the spirit moves me." So, just check in here every once in a while to see if I have anything new to say.

Do you want to feel younger? It's easy! Just spend some time with a bunch of people that are a lot older than you are. I did exactly that yesterday. It wasn't planned. It just happened by circumstance. Yesterday, when I was at the podiatrist office it was jam-packed with patients, and every single patient was at least 80 years old. Some looked closer to 90. I just turned 60 earlier this year, but suddenly I felt like a young pup. Even about an hour later, when some kid in his twenties came in, that still didn't dampen my spirits. I have to say it was quite a morale booster. Of course, if you yourself are in your eighties, it might be kind of hard to find people in thier nineties or even 100 or more. But hey, give it a shot. It really does work! lol.

My next door neighbor just put up one of the ugliest fences I have ever seen in her front yard. It is about seven feet high and is composed of black metal bars. It looks like something you would see in a prison. There is only about six feet of space between my driveway and her house. She uses this area to grow plants like chili peppers, and sometimes perhaps miniature tomatoes. I don't see why she would want this area fenced off. Nobody bothers her plants, and she had easy access. Now she is going to have to enter through a gate and tend to her plants in a cramped area. And I am going to have to look at that awful eyesore on a daily basis. lol.

Wednesday, June 13, 2012

Well I finally did it! Right before midnight last night I decided to bite the bullet and publish the new redesign of Richard's Game Reviews. Yes, everything has a completely brand new look. I certainly hope everyone will enjoy the new design. Although I have been preparing for the new design change for the past several weeks, I actually changed my mind at the very last minute and I went with a different design than the one I was planning on using.

One of the big advantages of this new format is that it will allow me to make most of the games about ten pecent larger. Ten percent may not sound like a lot, but for some games this can really make a huge difference. I will also be giving you access to more full screen games than ever before. In fact, I am going to devote a whole new game category just for full screen games. This way, everyone can find all of the full screen games in one convenient place, which I think will work out well. I will also be creating a new leaderboard game category and I will explain how leaderboards can be used for anyone who is not familar with them.

Along with the new design, I just enabled a Blogger feature that allows you to give your opinion about any page here on Richard's Game Reviews. You can "vote" if you like the page A lot, Somewhat, or Not at all. Just scroll down any page until you come to the comment section, and you will see this feature right above the comment area. Then, simply put a checkmark in one of the boxes to cast your "vote".

I decided to expand the Game Category information on my sidebar. I also gave it a more prominent postion higher up on the page. This is a nice improvement and should help everyone, especially those who are new to my site, to find exactly what they are searching for.

I just found out today that the Suma game was not working. I suspect that it may have been down for perhaps several weeks. Luckily, I was able to find a quick fix and it should be working fine once again.

The Turkey Shooter game is now back up and running after I inserted some new code.

As you may know, I am not currently updating Richard's Game Reviews with new games on a regular basis like I have done in the past. I am working on some new internet projects, and I simply do not have the time to do any new game reviews. This change is likely permanent. Rest assured though, all of your favorite games will remain here for you to play indefinitely! Also, I will continue to respond to any comments and answer any questions on a daily basis.

Mini-Putt 3 Jurassic Putt

Game Description: Play 18 holes of miniature golf while going through, and around, obstacles in a cool prehistoric themed golf course. This game can be played by 1 to 4 people, using a single computer, with each person taking their turn. A single player may also play up to four games simultaneously by selecting the 4 player option and entering four different names. Par is 49. How low can you score? Find out now, as you play Mini-Putt 3 Jurassic Putt!

How to Play Mini-Putt 3 Jurassic Putt:

• Click the 'Start' button.
• From 1 to 4 people can play Mini-Putt 3 Jurassic Putt simultaneously.
• To indicate how many people are going to play, select Single Player, 2 players, 3 players, or 4 players.
• Select Ball Collision On or Off. (Ball collision determines if balls are allowed to collide when there is more than one player).
• Enter your name. (This is optional, but it is helpful if there are multiple players).
• Choose a color for your ball, or just leave it white. (It is a good idea, if there is more than one player, to use different colored balls so you can tell which ball belongs to whom).
• When there is more than one player each player gets a turn.
• Use your mouse and click anywhere on the tee (the dark green rectangular patch) to place your ball in the desired starting position.
• Use your mouse to make each putt.
• Shooting is a two-step process. First, move your mouse, but do not click. This mouse movement will determine the direction and strength of each shot. As you move your mouse you will see some white dots. The more distance between the dots, the stronger the shot will be. When you have determined that the shot will be the direction and strength that you desire, click your mouse to shoot.
• You may also move your mouse to any of the four edges of the game screen to adjust your field of vision when necessary.
• There are 18 holes to play.
• Par is 49.
• You cannot score more than 10 strokes on any single hole. (If you have not made the putt within 10 shots, your score will be 10).
• After you finish your game, click the 'Main Menu' button to play again.

Mini-Putt 3 Jurassic Putt Playing Tips:

• Decide where you want to place the ball on each tee to get the desired angle for your first putt.
• Plan each putt carefully. Use your imagination, and play the angles.
• You will find that some shots require a very strong shot. So, you will really need to extend your mouse far before shooting.
• The tee shot on hole 3 is especially tricky. You will need to play a hard shot in order to get it through the blue barrier. However, if you shoot the ball too hard the ball may get through the barrier only to bounce off the wall on the opposite side and go back through the barrier again and end up back near the tee.

Richard's Rating: 3 out of 5.
