MONOPOLY: Build-a-lot Edition Review
You don't have to be confused if you should encounter a feeling of déjà vu while playing MONOPOLY: Build-a-lot Edition. In fact, you are playing a hybrid of Build-a-lot 2 and Monopoly, although the shares of the latter are of minor significance. The idea of combining the probably most popular board game about real estate management and the counterpart of the casual market sounds utterly compelling, but sometimes it's all on the surface.

Artist Colony Preview
I-play and Nikitova are on the verge of releasing an innovative new casual simulation game, Artist Colony. Artist Colony is basically what would happen if you the world of The Sims or Virtual Villagers was inhabited by Picasso, Pollack, and Warhol.
Your task in the game is to restore a formally pioneering artist colony to its former glory by renovating the buildings, inspiring the artists, and selling their works (or helping them perform in the case of the musicians and dancers).
As seasons change, you uncover clues of the past that you can use to exploit the artists' passions and guide them through relationships, jealousy, and rejection. It's quite a deep game. We'll tell you the moment the game is released but for now, you can view the screen shots and chat about the game in our forum.
Create A Mall Review
The modern shopping mall is a magical place, filled with gleaming riches, scrumptious culinary delights, technological marvels and exotic imports from far-off lands. All of which are yours to enjoy, of course, in exchange for braving the milling throngs and endless sea of parking spaces.
Thankfully, business simulation Create a Mall puts the power to build a better shopping center in your hands, giving the people what they want while also raking in a healthy income. We just wish the creators understood a simple underlying principle: Time equals money, and you'll be aghast at just how much can be wasted on any given session.
Avalon Review
In this day and age, it's easy to get caught up in modern life and forget about the simple beauty of nature. That's the idea behind Avalon, a real time simulation game that puts you in charge of a community of fairies that are striving to bring nature and magic back to the modern world. While the core game play mechanics are heavily influenced by the Virtual Villagers series, Avalon features its own unique theme and engaging fantasy environment that's sure to please real-time simulation and fairy fans alike.
Sprouts Adventure Review
Eating, sleeping, playing, working. These are the key elements to any satisfying existence, and so it is for Sprouts Adventure’s tiny protagonists, little flora/fauna hybrids who look a bit like Nintendo’s popular pikmin characters and spend their days trying stay productive, healthy, and happy.
As simulation games go, this is a pretty simple one. The sprouts are in rough shape. A storm has reduced the number of these cute little creatures with nasally helium voices and flowers growing from their skulls to just five, and these remaining few have…well, nothing, other than a giant egg-shaped idol that they worship.
