Reflexive Entertainment has announced its next game, Simplz: Zoo, a time management game that will put players in charge of their own zoo and give them a chance to control nearly every aspect of it, from which animals they exhibit to where to put the drinking fountains.

Created by the same team that developed Airport Mania, Simplz: Zoo was created with a similar focus: having fun and putting smiles on players' faces. The game will feature a soundtrack from composer Isaac Shepard, whose music you might remember from the zen-like hit Web game Music Catch.

Collapse! Preview

When it comes to classic puzzle games, GameHouse's Collapse! series is right up there with the best of them -- which is why we were excited to learn that the franchise is returning with a brand new block-busting, color-matching title called simply COLLAPSE!

The premise of Collapse! is of course to click on clusters of three or more of the same colored block to clear them from the screen. When this happens, the surrounding blocks "collapse" in on the hole to create new color matching combinations. In COLLAPSE! you'll travel a new world with more than 180 levels and guide your own customizable character on a heroic mission to free the land from invaders, going up against enemies like Blockzilla and Blocktopus.

Build it! Miami Beach Resort Preview

erin — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 10:35:00 -0600

Most games in the building sim genre offer players a variety of different maps and scenarios to play, but cerasus.media's upcoming Build It! Miami Beach Resort is trying something a little different: In it, players continue to work on the same map for more than 60 years as the city becomes bigger and bigger.

The goal, as the title implies, is to build a thriving resort on Miami Beach while completing the challenges that are assigned within each level. You'll begin in the year 1920 with simple bungalows, and advance year by year (each level is a new year) to the 1970s. Through the decades you'll add things like art deco hotels, cinemas, the first fast-food diner, and even giant hotels right on the beach.
