Farm Mania Preview
Realore Studios has announced that they plan on releasing a new farmed-themed time management game entitled Farm Mania. The game follows the story of Anna, a young girl with dreams of running a prosperous farm (what girl doesn’t?). In addition to planting and selling your crops, you’ll also be able to bake pies and breads, breed and grow lifestock, and turn wool into scarves and gloves. The game will feature 60 levels, 12 mini games (including a hidden object mini-game), 12 buildings, and 25 various upgrades.
Jane's Hotel: Family Hero
Move over, Paris Hilton - in Jane's Hotel: Family Hero, you're an heiress who actually works hard at her family business! Jane vows to stop the foreclosure of four hotels by borrowing money from the bank and then working at each one until enough cash is collected to help pull her family through. Through this ambitious venture you'll work at a beachfront resort in the Canary Islands, a castle in England, a fancy French inn and a traditional Japanese hotel.
Ozzy Bubbles Review
There was a time when side-scrolling platform games ruled the gaming world -- when a new Mario or Metroid title brought visions of frantic jump-and-run fantasies, not gratuitous 3D worlds and multiplatform launches. With the emergence of powerful console hardware, though, the side-scroller became something of a lost art, much to the frustration of fans. Thank goodness, then, for the creative freedom the PC and the Internet offer small developers, and for games like Ozzy Bubbles.
Jane's Hotel Review
Anyone who's seen hit British comedy series Fawlty Towers will know that running a hotel is anything but easy. Of course, having an accident-prone manager at the helm, supported by a cast of clueless misfits is hardly the recipe for success. So you'll no doubt be pleased to know that in the management game Jane's Hotel - in which you must transform a bedsit into the plushest hotel in town - the only person responsible for success and failure is your good self. Phew!
Turtle Odyssey 2 Review
A good casual game should not only be hard to turn off when it's time to get back, to, well, life - but it should also tug at your thoughts to the point where you're itching to sit back down at the computer and resume playing whenever you have a spare moment.
Realore Studios' Turtle Odyssey 2 is this kind of game.
Believe in Santa Review
For those who haven't already gobbled their fill of Diner Dash and overdosed on holiday cheer, there's no better way to ring in this Christmas than with similarly-styled outing Believe in Santa.
Turtle Odyssey 2 Preview
Given that Nintendo's Super Mario Bros - the most successful interactive outing ever with over 40 million copies sold - is, essentially, the original casual game, it's surprising that desktop fans haven't seen more activity on this front.
Thankfully, Realore Studios are hoping to remedy the situation by bringing happy-faced terrapin mascot Ozzy back for more keyboard-mashing fun in upcoming jump-n-run romp Turtle Odyssey 2.
