Wisegal is a hidden object game based on the Lifetime "Wisegirl" made-for-tv movie, which stars Alyssa Milano. The plot follows a woman named Patty Montanari, a widow and mother who gets involved with the mob. Eerily enough, it's based on a true story.

I missed the movie, but was surprised by the topic. In general, the mafia isn't known for its feminism...but there have been cases of women involved high up in organized crime when their male counterparts are incarcerated. Not that I'd know much about it, but I read up about it on The Complete Idiot's Guide to the Mafia. Yes, there's an "idiots" book on everything!

Anyhow...in the game, Nino (Patty's son, and the narrator of the movie) gets a letter from an old friend that draws him back into the dark side of NY organized crime. It's your job to keep him alive, which is no easy task. This game is full of suspense, but definitely on the easy side, and short, too. You can beat most of it during the free trial.

Wisegal launches on BFG on  November 5, 2009. You can get a free  trial on Big  Fish Games by visiting the website below.
