Virtual Families Review
If you were a professional game reviewer, naturally you'd want to bestow high marks on a deep and ambitious game. But what would you do if that game wasn't finished? If it were laden with many technical and graphical issues that marred the experience? And what if it were an unoriginal concept?
Such is the case with Virtual Families, the latest from developer Last Day of Work (of Virtual Villagers fame), and while we had fun with this The Sims-esque game, we also grew frustrated with its lack of polish and innovation.
Virtual Families Preview
We recently checked in with the folks at Last Day of Work (Virtual Villagers, Plant Tycoon, Fish Tycoon) to learn more about their upcoming project, Virtual Families. It's a real-time casual family sim that should appeal to fans of both Virtual Villagers and The Sims, where you get to adopt a needy person and help them meet a mate, grow a family, and pass the house on to the next generation.
Virtual Villagers 3: The Secret City Review
Once more Isola beckons, luring you back to its sun-drenched shores in this third installment of the Virtual Villagers series. And, like its predeccor, Virtual Villagers: The Secret City deposits your fledgling tribe on a new part of the isle. This time, however, you begin in the ruins of a once-great city to the north, exploring, rebuilding and repopulating while unraveling its numerous mysteries.
Plant Tycoon Review
Plant Tycoon is a lot like the film Pan's Labyrinth: you might not have heard of it, or you might have written it off as not your cup of tea, but it's an example of entertainment done right.

Those who enjoyed breeding and raising their own fish in Last Day of Work's Fish Tycoon will soon be able to swap their aquariums for green houses in the upcoming sister title Plant Tycoon, which is scheduled to launch in early September.

Virtual Villagers: The Lost Children Review
Temperatures are in the teens, snow blankets the ground and icicles hang from the eves. Brrrrr! It's hard not to think about heading for a warmer climate -- something tropical, balmy and bright!
