Virtual Villagers Preview
By Alicia Ashby
Last Day of Work and 3 Blokes Studios have just released a new Facebook version of their long-running Virtual Villagers casual strategy games. Derivative franchises like My Tribe have already gotten their games launched on Facebook, but Virtual Villagers may prove to be worth the wait. It plays very differently than most prior attempts at casual strategy on Facebook, working in a Zynga-style energy meter that gives structure to the gameplay.

Pocket Village Review
By Nadia Oxford
The name "Pocket Village" evokes an image of a peaceful hamlet with sunny mornings, rolling hills, and close neighbors (and closer cousins, cough cough). A nice place to visit, perhaps, even if you're just rolling through to grab a hamburger before hitting the Interstate and gunning it to Disneyland. However, wooga's Pocket Village is actually an iOS town-building game that demands some pretty hardcore labor from its adorable population. It's easy to feel bad for the little guys, but don't worry; Pocket Village moves so slowly that it won't be long before you abandon its population, anyway.
