Stay away from G5 entertainment games

I'm new to iPad games but already learned the hard way to stay away from G5 games. 


My bad experience started when I decided to unlock the full version of their game "The Mystery of the Crystal Portal" using the in-app. The purchase itself went without a hitch. But later that day when I wanted to play, the game crashed. It started to upload and threw me out. I went to their troubleshooting section. The 1st advice was to re-start the iPad. Didn't help. So I re-installed the free version and tried to unlock it again. The unlock screen gave 2 options: "buy" and "already paid". I clicked the already paid button and was asked to pay again. So I went back to G5's troubleshooting sections and was told that if I'm asked to pay again, to iTunes because "it's out of their hands". I did that and iTunes are returning my money. 


I deleted the games and son't want anything to do with G5 games. Big Fish games are the best. I've already unlockes several of their games with no problem.    

Sherlock Holmes and the hound of the Baskerville

My new obsession is hidden objects games for iPad. The last game I finished is "Sherlock Holmes and the hound of the Baskervilles. Great game. Each room has an opposite shadow room. It's a motive that I've already seen in other games like the Mystery of Mortlake Mansion. It means double number of locations to explore and double amount of fun. I played the collector edition which includes 3 extra chapters. Hope for more Sherlock Holmes games.
