This game was a mixed bag for me. Some things I liked, some I didn't.
Although I usually hit 'skip' through the talking and action scenes, I didn't with this game. Parly because there was no skip function, but partly because the graphics were something else! Amazing colors and a bit of variety in the styles of the graphics, to boot.
The game itself was too short. I played by myself, in the most difficult mode, and still was done before I knew it. (Hit the blog only a coule of times.)
Very few HO scenes, which is probably why this is in the 'puzzle' genre, not the HO genre. The mini-puzzles ranged from yawn-done-this-before to, and I hate to admit it, a couple I had to skip.
So if you like storylines, graphics, and the opportunity to use a 'difficult' mode with no hints or sparkles, this is the game for you. If you like HO scenes and a good, long time of playing, this game isn't for you.
However, while the game itself is decent (not the best or most engaging tycoon sim I've ever played), the set-up is confusing, When I played, one of the buttons to exit a certain menu and progress with the tutorial was stuck behind the bar at the top left. I am pursuing a refund.
This game is pretty fun, however once you find a cure for the zombies, they just keep coming. I was hoping eventually the population would all be cured or something. Luckily, you can turn zombies off, which I did to reward myself for curing them. This game is sort of like a mix between Diner Dash and your basic farming game, but with no time limits. You also have to barter with various characters.

Best Virtual Villagers to Date
I love the Virtual Villagers series and this one doesn't disappoint! It has great puzzles to unlock while you try to get the "heathens" to believe in you. One annoying thing is that red masked villagers, especially children, will frequently get in your way while you are trying to complete a task but you can usually use another villager to distract them and pull them away or use your god powers.
This game is fun, but imo not as entertaining as its predecessor. The idea of renovating the whole house and having to buy basic furniture makes me think they went too much to the Sims side of things.
My favorite thing about the Sims empire is the amount of control you have over everything. The Sims Medieval, while a refreshing new take on the Sims, just lacks that aspect. Yes, completing the goals can be fun, but you are not able to take your Sim into whatever direction you want. I would love to see a regular Sims game with a medieval theme (e.g. clothes, architecture, careers, goals, etc.) come out!
Love this EP for Civ V! It makes the game much more fulfilling if you are a person that likes to acheive victory in ways other than global domination because it enhances the diplomacy aspect. I love the World Congress / UN feature! Imo, it makes the game much more realistic.
Gods Will Be Watching is a minimalistic “point and click thriller” centered on despair, commitment, and sacrifice as players face narrative puzzles and moral dilemmas.
This is the perfect game for someone like me. The story is amazingly exciting, and the fact that the choices you make are vital for which outcome the game will have is even more so. I really recommend The wolf among us! (Especially now that all the episodes are out - I would have had a hard time waiting for them.)
v1.29 for Mac: An updated map, improved AI, easier multiplayer and the new scenario "The Grand Finale" lead the list of new additions in this update. Thanks to everyone who participated in the pre-release!

The basic premise is that you have to work out why no one is home when you arrive. The abandoned house is beautifully developed, with most objects being interactive. You can open all the cupboards and drawers and pick up most things. But you don't collect objects and solve puzzles like traditional adventures, you simply gather intel from each room to piece together what happened. There is lots of reading of notes and letters to do, and listening to the thoughts of the sister which are prompted by touching certain items. At first, it feels rather aimless, and I got to a point of not knowing what to do next and putting it aside for a while. But once you get access to the rest of the house, including the basement and the attic, the story moves into the final phase. It was worth persisting with, as the story was interesting and the ending was unforeseen. Overall I found it enjoyable to play, and loved the visuals a lot. I also loved the fact that there was no combat or time limits to interfere with exploring the house and discovering the secrets, unlike many games.
