Full-blown sequels to hit Facebook games aren't all that common just yet, but if they could all be as good as Zoo World 2 we wouldn't mind seeing more. The successor to Zoo World takes everything that made the original a four star game and makes it better: more options, better visuals, and just an improved experience overall.
A decade after the release of Airline Tycoon comes the long awaited sequel to the simulation that puts players in the role of CEO of an international airline. Airline Tycoon 2 will challenge players to run a modern airline, design unique airplanes and grow a run-down carrier into a globally recognized company that passengers practically beg to fly. Airports worldwide are waiting to be explored, but beware - your rivals never rest! Crafty opponents are also working to dominate the skies… and they won't let anything stand in the way of their goals!
LandGrabbers is a sort of a Risk-like area control game that's inspired by real time strategy and even a little bit of tower defense, though you neither build towers or control units directly. You'll be in charge of an army tasked with taking over all the control points of each map, marked with buildings. Your job is to swarm and take over each of these unoccupied or enemy buildings using your units.
Sequels aren't common amongst Facebook games. Developers instead tend to continually update games with new content and expansions. But RockYou is going a different route with the Zoo World series, with a new game set to hit Facebook very soon. Zoo World 2 looks to build on what made the first game such a hit, by offering more animals and more options.
VegasTowers is an iPhone and iPad game developed by SiuYiu Limited that lets you build the biggest and most lavish hotel in all of Sin City. Gamezebo's VegasTowers strategy guide and walkthrough will provide you with a quick start guide, tips and tricks, hints and cheats to help you build the biggest tower of all.
Hotel management games haven't quite caught on in the same way that other business sims have. Games like Hotel City and Tap Pet Hotel showed some potential, but ultimately were too shallow to be fully engaging. VegasTowers attempts to remedy this by offering up a huge wealth of options that makes this a much more complex game than its predecessors. But while the added depth is welcome, there are a number of other issues that keep this from being the first great hotel game.
Do you think you can make a different and make the planet a better place to live? In the upcoming life simulation Eco Tycoon - Project Green you'll have to balance your nation's economy, power levels, food supply, and natural resources to reduce CO2 levels while keeping the population happy.
I'm going to spend a good chunk of this review comparing Hot Springs Story to Game Dev Story, mostly because the games are pretty similar, and are both made by the same company. Sadly the main place these two games are different is in the fun department, and after playing a lot of Game Dev Story, I'm sad to report that Hot Springs Story just doesn't provide the same compelling experience.
