The Settlers VI: Rise of an Empire Gold Edition

The Settlers VI: Rise of an Empire Gold Edition

What I'm not: I'm not a teenager who can neglect his homework, play for hours every day, and talk to his friends about how to kill the bad guy.

What I'm not: I'm not a war general who knows to put the archers on high ground and flank the cavalry with spearmen.

What I'm not: I'm not someone who works for the department of zoning and planning.

What I am: Just someone who likes to play a game and win more than lose.

What this game is not: This is not a fast action paced game where you tell your wife you're too busy upgrading units, don't answer the phone because you're bein attacked by aliens, or hold in that bladder tight because any minute now and you lose.

What this game is: It's a slow paced game. You can kick back, sip coffee, smoke a cig, and even walk away to attend to real life concerns and still come back with everything intact.

What this game is not: This is not a high dedication game. You don't have to dedicate eight hours a day, seven days a week to upgrade your cooking skill.

What this game is: A couple of hours of fun. The time stamp has given me an average of two hours of game play per completed campaign map.

What this game is not: This is not a game designed for the strategic expert or the officer of city commissions. You don't have to know anything about planning a city or war strategies to have fun and win the scenarios.

What this game is: A game for dummies. It literaly tells you, "Click on the flashing button. Now place the cursor over the blue signal on the screen. There! You just created a building, now watch." And, "Click on the catapult, now click on the flashing icon to activate it. Now click on the glowing target." I need someone to hold my hand and walk me through some of these games. I've played other games with hundreds of buildings and all they do is, "What would you like to build first?" I don't know, i'm not a zoning commissioner.

In summary, this is a slow paced, low action, high in telling you what to do and when to do it game. You can walk away and come back if needed. You can spend a few hours and have fun. You can take your time to think about what to do next. You can win every scenario. This is the game for me. I hope they make more like these.

Build-a-lot [Game Download]

By apoem "apoem" (Bosque Farms, NM USA) - reviews

I am hooked on this game. I have been playing for a day or two now. In the challenge mode you have some challenges and then a limited amount of time to reach the goal. This game will not appeal to everyone because it is not true to life and it is fairly simple. For someone like me who has little spurts of time to play easy games that don't require a lot of learning time; this is a fun game.

Enjoy.

Cinema Tycoon 2: Movie Mania [Game Download]

By Bellasnow (Florida, USA) - reviews

This game is very enjoyable. There are 10 levels, increasing in difficulty in which you are managing a Theater. You have to decide what movies to play, how to upgrade your theater, and how to advertise, without going over budget or in debt. Each level has it's own goals that you have to meet before being able to advance to the next level, i.e. "Have 4 snack bars." You ultimately set the pace of the game. This game also doesn't need to be paused constantly if you have to step away from the computer to check on something (like dinner) like a sims game.

Overall, the game is not very difficult, and would be fine for kids, or if you just want something to do.

4 Elements [Game Download]

By S. Levine "SRebeL" (Chicago, IL) - reviews

Puzzle gamers will find 4 Elements addictive! I love that, unlike most games where you have a limited number of "lives," this game runs continuously (if you run out of time, you can keep retrying). Also the three different phases -- treasure hunts followed by puzzle path clearing leading to comparing pictures -- keeps it from getting boring.

Gazillionaire III [Game Download]

By GOODfly (San Diego, USA) - reviews

Everyone in our family absolutely LOVES this game, parents and kids. It's good, wacky entertainment and seriously addicting. As a parent, I like to see it teaching and encouraging math skills in fun ways. As kids, our children love the alien creatures, the endless surprises, and building their intergalactic trading empires. *HIGHLY RECOMMENDED*. Gazillionaire is a major winner.
