The course of history is often determined by trade. Shrewd business sense and quality trade routes can grow an empire, bankrupt potential enemies, and sometimes lead to war. Sandlot Games' Tradewinds Legends, originally released for PCs, does a remarkable job of showing how powerful a tool trade can be. The game's port to the iPhone/iPod Touch manages to convey this concept well, but a few shortcomings in the execution keep it from being a truly great portable experience.
When I think of deep strategy experiences, the word Facebook doesn't really come to mind. It's not that the two wouldn't be a great fit - patience-heavy gameplay and multiplayer experiences are hallmarks of both - it's just that we've never really seen the two combined with much success. Digital Chocolate is looking to change all that with NanoStar Siege, a surprisingly deep strategy game that's easy enough to learn and nearly impossible to stop playing.

Building a new hotel from scratch is never easy. I should know - I've worked in more than a few. Without going too in depth on my personal work history, I'll simply say that growing up near Niagara Falls means that hotel work is a rite of passage where I'm from. And like any former desk clerk, I've often muttered quietly to myself that I could do a better job than the owners above me. Hotel City is a game that let me put my theory to the test.
Originally released through the Xbox 360's Live Arcade service a year and a half ago, NinjaBee's quirky city builder, A Kingdom for Keflings, has finally come to the PC as a polished and full-featured port that stands out from other games in the genre on the Windows platform.
