Kudos 2
Posted by Luna Cruz on November 3rd, 2008 in Reviews

I played the Sims when it came out way back when, and I liked it very much. But I never liked how it had no apparent goal nor end: my Sims were cute and funny, but that was it. If you’re like me, and you want a sim game that also lets you work towards [...]

Jane’s Realty
Posted by Luna Cruz on September 17th, 2008 in Reviews

If you’re a construction simulation fan, you’ve probably already downloaded Jane’s Realty. I write on behalf of the first-timers (like myself), discovering this genre for the first time. Jane’s Realty taught me two things about construction sims: first, it’s addictive to build buildings, and second, it’s a damn difficult thing to do if you’re not [...]

Oval Office
Posted by Jianyang Tan on September 11th, 2008 in Reviews

I’m not one for politics, but here’s a game that totally drew me in. Oval Office is a game of political simulation, which works well to be both educational and fun at the same time. You play the role of a newly-elected President of the United States, and you’re required to address the issues at [...]

EGO
Posted by Luna Cruz on August 22nd, 2008 in Reviews

Innovation is hard to come by, especially in the casual games industry where the same old game idea can sell more than a creative one. So when Punch Entertainment’s EGO came along, and we heard it won the Most Innovative Game award at this year’s Independent Games Festival (IGF) Mobile, we wanted to see what [...]

Remember Kudos, the life sim game that lets you make meaningful choices for your sim’s life? (If you missed it, check out our review of it here. And read our interview with developer Positech Games while you’re at it!) If you did miss Kudos, it’s what The Sims would be like if you put some [...]

Fishdom
Posted by Luna Cruz on June 21st, 2008 in Reviews

Fishdom, according to the game, is “a place where dream aquariums come true.” In this game, you match tiles together to earn money, which you use to create and maintain a virtual aquarium. The simple gameplay and colorful graphics make Fishdom an easy sell. Plus, who doesn’t like fish?

Virtual Villagers 3: The Secret City

Virtual Villagers 3: The Secret City is the third installment to the award-winning game series. For those new to Virtual Villagers, the game is a village simulator, where apart from caring and guiding the people of the tribe, you’ll also have to discover and solve puzzles to advance through the game’s narrative. As with many [...]

Tradewinds Caravans
Posted by Nick Kojima on June 2nd, 2008 in Reviews

Let’s get this out of the way right at the top of this review: Go download and play this game. It’s a solid game, and 10x more fun than 90% of what we have reviewed over the last year. To be really honest, I was supposed to write this review about 24 hours ago, but [...]

Real E$tate Empire
Posted by Nick Kojima on December 13th, 2007 in Reviews

I have no idea why I like this game. It is everything most people hate about their mundane lives all piled up in one very realistic financial simulator. You get the joy of driving yourself into debt and mounting thousands of dollars in predatory credit card charges on home improvements for a place where you [...]
