Shop Empire review

Shop Empire
This game was pleasant surprise for me. Its cool, its fun, its very, very addicting and its beautiful. And addicting. Did I said addicting?
Your goal in this game is to build the greatest shopping mall, ever. You build in cities like London, New York, even Tokyo. Your starting location is Paris with the Eiffel Tower as your background. You can place shops like Burger Shop, Ice Cream Shop, Jewelery, Drug Store. Your horizontal place is limited so you must build more floors and elevators to them. Not all shops can be placed near one another, some will be more suited and will give you +1 compatibility. The toilet creates problem with any other shop except the drug store, I usually place those two behind the elevators but I don't know if its the best idea. Here is one short post about this, from the time when I first met this game. I'll edit it and will add more details later on.
You will need to hire security, technical and cleaning stuff for your shops. If you don't have enough security personal all your money will be taken by robbers. They will take money even if you have no money at all and your balance is bellow zero. I wonder if banks give you credits at night so you have money to give to robbers. Also your visitors will leave piles of trash so you must hire a cleaning stuff. And your shops will have electricity problems, so you need technicians.
Today I'll stop here because I'm very tired of writing all this. I am not a clever person, actually a blondie girl, so writing is very tiresome for me. And I'm lazy so I don't know when I'll continue this.
Anyway Shop Empire is very interesting game, with cool pixel art graphics and very addicting gameplay. Its only draw back is the problem when you have very big shop and many customers, your game starts to lag but with this many objects I can understand why. Anyway its great game.

Big Bucks – online monopoly game

Big Bucks - online monopoly game
Big Bucks is great monopoly-like game where your goal is to buy property and bankrupt the other (computer) players. The game is fun, addicting and fast paced, as you struggle to keep your property, pay rents and taxes and buy more and more houses. At the beginning you can choose the difficulty of your enemies, as a noob player I prefer to start with all enemies on easy. You can choose the map size, small map will lead to short game, big one – long and even very long game. The computer is moving real time without waiting for the player’s moves so don’t waste time thinking complex plans.

Gem Trader – fun sim game

Gem Trader is strange but fun game about making money! And I really like to make money and so I like this game very much despite the fact that its rather plain and boring at first sight.
Gem Trader Game
Gem Trader
In game you have a depth of 10 000$ and you must repay it within 20 days or the bank will take your house! Scary, isn’t it? So now you must make money, and you must make them fast. You can buy eight different gems and get new loan from the bank. Each day the gems have different prices, sometimes they go up, sometimes their price goes down and you must buy and sell gems cleverly.
I recommend you to buy gems only when their price is near to its low value and sell them when they are near its high price.
