PC Games – Artist Colony

PC Games - Artist Colony

Experience an exciting adventure of creativity in an all new casual SIM game, Artist Colony! An adventure begins as you explore the neglected canvas of a once thriving utopia of artists – the most pioneering creators of their time. Complete tasks and chores to transform the colony and inspire artists to return to this sanctuary of creativity. With specializations in sculpture, dance, music and more, it’s up to you to guide each individual as they practice their craft, deepen their skills and create masterpieces in their chosen fields. Keep temperamental artists inspired while maintaining and upgrading the colony itself. Guide their relationships, face rivals and uncover the mystery behind the original colonists and the shocking explanation of their hasty departure.

Keep a lookout on this great simulation game that is going to be out pretty soon. If you always like simulation games, you will definitely like this too. In fact after trying out the beta earlier, I was quite sad that the beta game ended. Perhaps I was having so much fun with it that I actually felt that this beta game was a little too short.

Like most simulation games, your role is to control and decide which character does what or do next. For this game, your goal is to rebuilt, maintain and upgrade the colony. There will be different tasks available as you unlock an area or when there are new residents arriving. Even though the residents that arrive are specialized in different areas which you have lesser control and can only polish their skills accordingly, this game is still great as I find it very interesting. Well… I’m a little tired of playing simulation games with the same old tribe storyline after all.

Overall, I really like this game very much and definitely give my full support to it! Will update more on this game when it is out! Hopefully the finished product will be as great or even better!

Dear Subscribers,

Hi! Sorry it’s a little late, there was some problem with the beta game that was supposed to be scheduled for today. Unfortunately we ran into some issues with the file size of the game. So not to keep all of you waiting too long, we decided to release this beta game instead. Well… at least it’s for today. Once we have figured out the other game issue, we will release it asap to all of you as that game is really really good!

I could not find any information on this game and Junpiggy did not give me much information except that it is a hidden object game. That was part of the reason why this game wasn’t scheduled for beta testing even though Junpiggy send this game to Admin quite some time back. Okay, enjoy the game and stay happy!

Special thanks to the faithful subscribers who took their time to leave comments on our web. We really appreciate it and at least it makes us feel that doing cutecutegames is worthwhile after all!

Yes, we are still trying to sort out the banners and we have our eyes on 3 of them. So do visit us on Thursday to see the display of the winning banner!

Dear Subscribers,

Yup, as promised, this will be the beta game that will be out specially for those who have replied to the email. As I still have a handful games to try and test so I won’t be commenting much on the game. Thanks to Junpiggy again for sending me huge beta game files that clogged up my email account every Sunday night. Do enjoy the game when you receive the file tomorrow.

PC Games – DinerTown Detective Agency

PC Games - DinerTown Detective Agency

Something’s not right in DinerTown™! Help Bernie the Bookworm become a “real detective” as you hunt for vital clues in major mysteries like “who stuck their finger in all the jelly donuts?” and “who’s been partying like a rock star with the zoo animals?” Use the items you find in the crime scenes to narrow your list of suspects and ID the culprits as you search out the fun in this lighthearted spoof on traditional hidden object games.

• 25 unique cases each with multiple puzzles to solve
• Explore 20 locations throughout DinerTown in your search for clues
• Investigate all the familiar DinerToons™ – you never know who might be a suspect!

PC Games - DinerTown Detective Agency

Another great upcoming game by PlayFirst which is a hidden objects game featuring the characters from DinerTown. This time Bernie the Bookworm (yes, the 1 that u see at Diner Dash) will become a detective with Flo’s help to uncover the mysteries at DinerTown.

As you can see from the main menu, you have a choice of Story mode or Freeplay mode. Well… since this game is still in beta, I guess I won’t be able to unlock the Freeplay mode yet. Once you click on the Story mode, you can choose to play it in Timed or Untimed. After a brief storyline to the game, you are brought to the map where you can choose the case that you wanna work on.

There’s 3 steps involved in completion of each case, firstly is the search crime scene where you need to find the particular items that is listed. Secondly, you are supposed to narrow down the suspects which require you to play a mini puzzle. Don’t worry, it’s pretty easy. (At least it’s easy at the moment) Lastly, to pinpoint the suspect, you have to go through a number of testimonials or comments by the suspect’s friends to find the actual culprit.

Overall I feel this is a very nice game and I really like it very much. Unfortunately, this game will only be released in June and the date isn’t confirmed yet. But no worries, as a great fan of PlayFirst games, we will watch and will update the moment it is released.

*Don’t forget tomorrow is Monday and there will be a cool beta game up for our dear subscribers. So do remember to check your email tomorrow. The game is going to be pretty large but it’s definitely worth it.

*For those who are intending to submit your entries for the Pet Society giveaway, do remember to state what you will like to have as your prizes if you are the lucky 1.

PC Games – Jane’s Zoo

PC Games - Jane's Zoo

COMING SOON! With a brand new Time Management game Jane’s Zoo from Realore Studios you will feel the atmosphere of the wild nature and spirit of freedom. Moreover you will meet lovely Jane again and go through a fabulous adventure with her! This time well-known lady decides to save the extinct wild animals. You have a chance to help her in organizing asylums for the animals all over the world and taking care of them. Think of the future today with this fascinating colorful Jane’s Zoo game!

Features:
* Asylums for the wild animals in Europe, Asia and Africa
* Different types of animals from level to level
* Unique system of growing animals
* Charming business woman Jane is back again!

If you have been a fan of the Jane’s series, you will be thrilled to know that she’s back with another new time management game which is out for beta testing right now. This time well-known Jane decides to save the extinct wild animals.

Frankly speaking, I’m not a real fan of the Jane’s series; I always find them slightly not as well done as the rest of the other games out there. So when I actually received this beta game from 1 of my friends 2 days ago, I didn’t try it out until today. Partly due to the high number of new games and beta games that were out this week so I went 1 round before settling down on Jane’s Zoo today.

I didn’t really enjoy the gameplay as much as I thought I should as I felt a little repetitive and perhaps boring? It didn’t really felt much like a zoo when there weren’t any visitors around. What I only like about the game were the cute baby animals that you get to look after and that’s the only part I look forward to in the game. After playing it for around half an hour, I decide to turn it off instead. Maybe I will write up more on the game when the full game is out. As for now, I think I should keep it closed.

For those who haven’t tried any of the Jane’s series, here’s the download links of the games.

*There will be quite a number of great games coming out next week, so check back for what we will have for subscriber’s downloads and great games.

Have you been following this series of hidden object games? If you haven’t then you’re missing out one of the best hidden object games that were ever released. Now, the 3rd edition, Dream Chronicles®: The Chosen Child will be arriving sooner than you ever imagine impressing us with more enchanting fantasy graphics and more challenging puzzles in this game.

After trying out the beta game earlier, I must admit that the puzzles are slightly more challenging than the last 2 games and this time you have to move around different scenes or areas more often just to complete the tasks. If you have been following the story, you will be just as excited as me to see if we get to reunite Faye with her family in this edition. Yes, I’m interested to know the ending but yet a part of me is secretly hoping that the story won’t end here so that we will have the 4th edition of it!

Yes, this is another new upcoming time management game from PlayFirst . I have been following Wedding Dash series since their first game “Wedding Dash™” to the second series “Wedding Dash® 2 Rings Around the World” so naturally I will not let go of the chance to try this out. One thing about PlayFirst games which I truly admire is that even though the gameplay might be similar, their games never seem to lose the magic in them.

Thank goodness it’s still a trial version or else I will be too hooked on the game to make any posting tonight!
