My Game Review:

As always I will never miss out any of the time management games from Delicious series so here I am and finally manage to complete the game after trying to find time to play Delicious – Emilys Holiday Season for the past few days. Emily is back again with a holiday sequel and a very interesting storyline in Delicious – Emily’s Holiday Season. Besides seeing her long-time friend Francois, you get to meet up with her family members, characters from Delicious – Emily’s Taste of Fame and a few new faces.

If you have played any of the past sequels, you should be really familiar with the gameplay by now since there aren’t any great changes to it. Other than the beautiful Christmas theme and graphics, the gameplay is almost the same. But because of the funny and interesting storyline, it does really add a fresh new feel to it.

There are a total of 5 different Restaurant locations and you can also choose your preferred level of difficulty. You will still do all your basic stuff like attending to walk-in guests or dine-in guests by preparing their food, serving them and clearing of tables. You can also buy decorations to which is available to boost your character or to increase your guest’s patience level.

For every start of a level other than completing the basic target of amount, you will also have additional tasks that you can try to complete for a cash bonus. If you like to aim for an expert rating at the end of every level, do try to complete the additional tasks as the cash bonus really helps and also not forgetting to click the mouse for extra cash boost that pops up in every level.

Overall I find the game pretty nice and has a really interesting storyline which it really does catch my attention, especially you get to decide on Emily’s fate which feels as if you are directing a love movie. A little disappointed perhaps on having the same gameplay but then again I really do love the storyline!

PC Games - Sprouts Adventure

Oh Great One! Only a few Sprouts remain and they are in need of your help! Use your powers to guide them in returning to their once peaceful and prosperous existence. Fulfill wishes, help them invent wonderful toys to play with and assist them in rebuilding their amazing land! The happier you can keep your Sprouts, the more productive their community will be! Become the deity you always dreamed you could be in Sprouts Adventure!

  • Be The Deity You Always Dreamed Of!
  • Earn Karma To Unlock Spells!
  • 11 Structures To Complete!
  • A Dozen Sprouts To Love And Care For!

What are Sprouts, you ask?  Sprouts are curious creatures who have lived a very long time on the Mushroom Cliffs. They have quite the spark and one thing is for sure, they need your help!

Oh that is really wonderful, I have been waiting for this game like for ages. If you like simulation games like Virtual Villagers, do not miss Sprouts Adventure as you get to care and control for really cute creatures known as Sprouts. Just like most simulation games, your basic goal is to make sure they have enough food, work and play. You can also collect little objects like butterflies and stones to add in your collection.

One of the few interesting features is that you have the ability to cast spells. You can cast spells to help your Sprouts out in farming or to warm an egg. I particularly love to cast the Rainbow spell as I love hearing the Sprouts going “Wow!” This time you do not have to worry if you left Sprouts Adventure for too long. Unlike most simulation games, Sprouts Adventure does not run when you’re not playing it so the time will stop exactly where you have left them. Of course, the bad thing to it is that you still have to oversee and wait for the building construction to finish.

Overall I really like this game very much with it’s cute graphics and it feels really interactive. Highly recommended for gamers who like to play simulation games as much as I do! Try playing for an hour and you will not be able to abandon your Sprouts! Hugs and Kisses to the Reflexive Team for creating such a cute game!

Delicious - Emilys Taste of Fame

Delicious - Emily's Taste of Fame

Emily’s back and ready for prime time in Delicious: Emily’s Taste of Fame, the latest chapter in the popular time management series, Delicious. Emily’s trip to Hollywood and her new cooking show, “Emily’s Taste of Fame”, comes to a sudden halt when her trusty car breaks down in a small roadside town. She leaps at the chance to earn money for repairs by whipping up scrumptious meals and serving them to a huge variety of customers. Will Emily make it in the big time? Or, are there more important things than fame and fortune?

  • Five all-new locations
  • Special surprise events in each level
  • Variety of dishes, desserts, drinks, and more

If you have been following Emily’s delicious series of restaurant time management game, don’t miss out Emily’s latest installment of the Delicious series, Emily’s Taste of Fame. Yup, Emily’s back with the fourth installment of the Delicious series, Emily’s Taste of Fame where you have to make your way to Emily’s new cooking show with Francois.

You can choose to play the game in 3 different level of game difficulty which allows you to change it anytime if you find it too easy or too difficult. I find this feature pretty cool as it allows gamers to customize their preferred level of difficulty. Not to worry if you are new to the game as this game offers a great tutorial for beginners.

The game started with Emily’s car was wrecked near a diner owned by Betty. As they don’t have enough money to repair their car and they need to continue the journey, Emily decides to work at the diner to earn enough money for the car repairs. Each day starts with 2 daily goals, a basic goal which you have to score or earn so that you can proceed to the next day and an expert goal to let Emily earn extra money to be use for buying decorations for the restaurant. These decorations have special qualities that can be used to improve the restaurant’s service or customer’s actions. In addition to the daily goals, you also have to complete a task or challenge which is one of the latest feature in this game. The tasks or challenges varies daily, it can be like helping Francois to pick up packages or even with a hidden management gameplay added into it.

To prevent you from getting sick of running a restaurant all the time, this time round they have added extra elements where you get to run a  farm or even a shop at the same time. I find that pretty refreshing as it gives a full new experience in playing Emily’s delicious series which I have been faithfully following each of them. Emily’s Taste of Fame also features five main restaurant areas with a gameplay of ten days each adding up to a total of 50 fun-filled days of time management fun!

Overall, I really love this latest installment of the Delicious series, Emily’s Taste of Fame. With all the added new improvements and features, this game is definitely recommended for time management game lovers!

PC Games – Aveyond – Lord of Twilight

PC Games – Aveyond – Lord of Twilight

PC Games - Aveyond - Lord of Twilight

PC Games - Aveyond - Lord of Twilight

Solve dozens of adventure puzzles and explore an enchanting world! Aveyond: Lord of Twilight is packed with monsters, magic, and humor. Stop an evil vampire lord from plunging the world into darkness and enslaving humanity. Explore lush tropical forests, arid deserts, mystical woodlands and more. Soar to dizzying heights and descend to the depths of the Underworld in this awesome RPG adventure!

  • Solve dozens of quests
  • Choose your difficulty level
  • Explore dozens of lands
  • Raise pets and collects eggs

I still remembered playing the very first sequel of the Aveyond series around three years ago when it first started and I was totally hooked on it. In fact, I even took leave for the next day as I really wanted to complete the game asap without losing sleep and concentration over it. But of course the game was longer than what I expected so I took about a week to finish it. So after playing the first sequel to it, I did keep my loyalty on the second and of course the third sequel that was just been released – Aveyond – Lord of Twilight.

For those who have already played the first and second sequel, you probably know what to expect and most likely is already playing the game like I am right now. Aveyond – Lord of Twilight is basically a strategy and RPG game where you get to explore through different lands to level up and completing quests.  A nice feature to this game is that you can choose your difficulty level easy, normal and expert modes of play. You can either jump head-on into the game or you can opt for a tutorial if you need help. No worries if you’re afraid you might forget which tasks you are on when you start the game the next day as they do have a journal to keep you reminded on the outstanding tasks.

Overall I would say that the graphics of this game are really nice and cute with interesting characters and quests. If you like games with a hint of adventure and fantasy in an RPG game, do not miss this game out as this game is really addictive, it’s really hard to put it down when you have started. As for now, I’m suppressing the urge to stop working on the post and to play the game instead which is true as this post was a little late as I couldn’t stop playing the game. So please remember to complete any chores or homework you have before you start the game!

PC Games – Supermarket Mania

PC Games - Supermarket Mania

PC Games - Supermarket Mania

Show your big business rivals what a little hometown pluck can do as you turn five small time grocery stores into huge successes. In order to run your competition out of town, you must beat 50 stock-until-you-drop levels, reloading shelves faster than customers can clear them and upgrading your stores. The challenges come fast…can you handle them? All it takes is a sharp eye and a quick wrist, so strap on your apron and grab a cart!

  • Show Your Big Business Rivals What You Can Do!
  • 50 Levels to Enjoy!
  • Over 20 Accessories and Upgrades!
  • 5 Distinct Stores to Run!

At the start of Supermarket Mania, you start your basic tutorial and training at Torg Corporation which is a big corporation that dominates the market in the game.  Even though you thought you were doing everything right and good, Mr Torg decides to fire you to replace the staff with a team of robots. After being out of job, you finally found a new job at a run-down grocery store. Well… that’s where the fun begins as you start out in the new store.

After playing the basic levels, you know that your primary job is to keep the shelves of the store stock so that the customers can get what they want and leave the store as a satisfied customer without losing patience. So to keep up with the game, don’t wait until the shelves are empty restock as often as you feel like it.  Remember to remove trash if there’s any and drop it at the recycle bin. What I do like is that you can pick up all at 1 go without any constrain on number of trash you can pick at a time.

There are different types of customers who require different items and have different patience levels. I don’t think it’s really necessary to memorize who needs what and what their patience level is like, as long as you fulfilled your primary job of restocking the shelves, this will not be a problem. But of course if you can manage to memorize the customer’s profiles, it’s an added bonus to the game. The only few types of customers that require extra attention are the movie stars, teenagers and the thieves. Movie stars boost your sales so keep a look out on them if you want to get more cash for upgrades. As for teenagers and thieves, they are more like trouble makers. So watch them closely to keep them out of mischief.

You can purchase a variety of upgrades for your store. Yes, I know the flooring is an eyesore at the first store and the first thing that you probably want to upgrade is the flooring. But normally I will leave beautification to later as getting money in is more important than anything else in the game.  Most upgrades like cart and food upgrades can be carried over as you advance through the levels so no worries about wasting money to upgrade them as you advance to the other stores.

Overall I feel that this game is pretty short which you can probably complete the whole game in less than 5 hrs and on top of that it’s pretty easy to get the expert score for each of the level. Except for the last few levels which I had to replay a few times to get the expert score. Even though this game is not considered new which I remembered playing it a few months ago but still I do like the nice graphics and I do hope the game developers can create a sequel to this.

PC Games – Elf Bowling Hawaiian Vacation

PC Games - Elf Bowling Hawaiian Vacation

If you thought Santa’s elves were crazy before, just wait until you see them on vacation! The zany crew has escaped from the workshop to hit the sand and surf in Hawaii. Grab your sunscreen and flip flops, these elves mean business—funny business that is!

  • 10 characters and 19 bowling balls to choose from
  • Four crazy play modes
  • Cool power-ups and dirty tricks to collect on each lane
  • Five single player modes and three multiplayer modes
  • All-new insults and one-liners from those crazy elves

Have you ever have the feeling that you don’t feel like playing hidden object games or even time management games and yet you feel like thrashing something? Well… let me recommend you this game which I always follow and keeps on my laptop. This is one game that I normally play whenever I feel a little moody.

Yup, this is a bowling game but instead of hitting pins, you’ll be hitting elves instead. Sounds wicked? I would say nope, that’s depending on how you view the situation. For me when I get pretty moody sometimes, I will treat those elves as unhappy thoughts and use the bowling ball to hit them all away. Perhaps it doesn’t really solve any real life problems but I always believe that once your mood gets better, you tend to think better too!

For beginners, pick a starting position, left-click and hold while to set throw power then use the mouse to control the direction of your ball as it goes down the lane. Of course, there will be certain elements to hinder your perfect bowl but that’s what makes it really entertaining. There are a couple of interesting bonuses or power-ups you can use to score your perfect bowl. And what’s more interesting is that you will enjoy the elves’ reactions. Especially when you see them hop, shiver with terror or even make funny remarks. All in all, I still find this game pretty amusing even though it’s feels and sounds the same like the previous series. As long as it still keeps me entertained, I can live with the similarities.

PC Games - Plan It Green

Congratulations! You’ve been elected mayor, and you want to restore your hometown to its former glory. Watch as Greenville transforms before your eyes as you build eco-homes, apply green upgrades and bring in new clean jobs and industry! Plan It Green leverages the resources of National Geographic, an organization that was green when green wasn’t cool. Change the ways of the past and bring a new, eco-friendly future to Greenville!

  • Pick the latest eco-upgrades
  • Transform your city
  • Its easy being green!

Appointed as the mayor of Greenville, you promised to make the city cleaner, healthier and more prosperous. Don’t mix this game up with the rest of the building games, this game does not have the building and selling strategy so you got to earn and spend immediately in order to complete your goals as fast as possible to aim for 5 stars. At the first look, I hesitated if I should try this game out or something else as the screenshots don’t look cute and appealing. After playing for a few levels, I was glad that I made the right decision to play this after all!

Your main job is to construct various buildings from 4 different categories: residential, recreation, commercial and facilities. The best thing about constructing the buildings is that you have the 3 choices to choose from which I think it’s pretty cool! I love choices! Yes, it does look gloomy at first but after applying the different upgrades or repainting it in the shade you want, the whole district actually brightens up with more colors with instant results!

The only thing that I didn’t really like about the game was that you can’t replay certain levels that you didn’t score 5 stars. So my advice is to make sure you are satisfied with the level results before you continue on to the next level. Overall I think this game is great, in fact better than most of the games of the similar gameplay. Don’t believe, try it out for yourself! You definitely feel a sense of satisfaction whenever you transform a gloomy district to a bright and beautiful place!
