Positech Games has made some interesting simulation games in only two years of operation. It’s therefore somewhat puzzling that they would make Oval Office and then license it to Zero G Games. Unlike its predecessor, the critically-acclaimed political simulator Democracy 2, Oval Office only allows you to run the United States while offering only minor cosmetic changes. Its developer has even admitted on his own forums that “If you are here, and reading this, and you liked the OO [Oval Office] demo, you might as well buy Democracy 2.” Is it still a good game? Yes. Is it worth buying at a three dollar discount? Not really.

If there’s a game that has been remade to death over the years, it’s Monopoly. The tried and true formula of buying real estate and forcing other players into bankruptcy has gone through so many iterations that it’s hard to keep track of them all.

Eschalon Book 1 Role Playing Game Review and Game Download

Eschalon: Book 1 is a single-player, role-playing adventure game reminiscent of those from years ago. Character creation is similar to the old D&D way you roll for your base attributes and then you have additional points to allocate. Picking from a list of skills, you are able to customize your character further in terms of what weapon, armor, and skills he will specialize in. Additionally, you also make the choices of origin, axiom and class for your character. These choices have bonuses and negative effects so that no single one is necessarily more powerful than another. This is a huge positive in my book since in this game, character development actually means something again, and you have to put some thought into what you want to be able to do before you even begin to play.

Honestly, when I downloaded the trial for ‘Battle of Tiles’ I didn’t expect much fun out of a game composed of tiles. I was thoroughly surprised when I started playing, though. Battle of tiles features a simple GUI, quick learning curve, and well composed game play.
If you are a beginner to the world of PC gaming Battle of Tiles offers “easy” and “very easy” difficulty settings, while at the same time offering harder settings for the more experienced player.

Build-A-Lot 2: Town of the Year is a game along the lines of Maxis’s SimCity and Sierra’s city-building series, but with a real-estate twist.

First Class Flurry Action Game Review and Game Download

As soon as I opened up First Class Fury, I was immediately let down by the graphics, which were merely childish cartoons. The basic concept behind the game is introduced through a comic book style dialogue, which lets you know that you will be playing the game as a flight attendant, who works for an airline that was just bought out by new management. As the airline’s number one flight attendant, it will be up to you to keep the customers happy, and eventually lead your company to the top of the airline industry.
