    Understand. I assume you're talking about Virtual City, which really isn't a time management game anyway. When I hear "time management" I think more of games like Youda Survivor or Cake Mania. Virtual City is more of a simulation, which personally I don't find quite as entertaining as time management games (of course I happen to love TM games).
     
  2. Ah, to me they're all the same ;) If I see anything related to baking or building cities, etc, I don't even take a second look.

    Virtual City is more a puzzle/queuing/resource game then anything else in my opinion. You set up trucks to take one building's output to another building as input. You also manage population, citizen's happiness, environmental status, and special events. It is worth trying, in my opinion, but I will admit that I like these types of games as a genre. It is also pretty tough to bet against G5e right now.:)
     
  4. Yeah, sorry. That sounds about as much fun as licking the bottom of my shoe :p
    But I'm sure there are games I love and you can't stand ;)

    So where does shoe licking fall in the spectrum between watching paint dry and getting a root canal?

    Has anyone played this escape game: EscapeHWG?
     
  7. I saw that when it came out but the screen caps looked so bland that I just inored it. I see there's a lite version now, though.

    I kind of felt the same way about the screen shots.

    Wits End
    I'm hoping that there's a free one on AppNavi tomorrow
     
  12. Lol good question. I'd say it's worse than watching paint dry, but better than a root canal (I think).

    Okay off topic but has anyone played scribblenauts? It's gotten a ton of awards and is on sale ($.99) so was curious:)
     
  14. Been debating about whether to buy that. It went on sale twice already and I didn't. If you buy it, let me know if it's worth it ;)

    Edit: Seems like it would be hard to draw on a small screen. Probably better for iPads.

    I think you type:) I just bought it bc I know the sale will end. Looks like fun...off to find out. Btw they don't make an iPad version:)
     
  16. Weird... I thought the whole idea of the game was scribbling :p
    Let me know how it is!

    I'm real curious to know what you think as well. There's another game kind of like it called Max and the Magic Marker. I own both but haven't played either yet. Suppose that's no real shock :)

    Game is VERY unique. There is no scribbling. For $.99 it's a must have. Basically you use your imagination and have the chance to be very creative. For example, if there is a cliff you need to think of a way to get up there. You could type "Pegasus" and a Pegasus shows up that you can ride to get on top of the cliff. I guess you could also type "ladder" but the idea is to use your imagination. I'm not sure if my description did any justice but for the sale price you can't go wrong:)

    Ouch! That's going to leave a mark! I guess I'd better not speak to the banality of room escape games or you might verbally murder me!! :)

    In all honesty though, I just was interjecting where I had some knowledge-I purchased Virtual City the day it came it and own it and its sequel on multiple platforms. I wasn't trying to insult your choice in games.

     
  20. Ha, sorry to offend! I think I also thought it was Eric (PointofLight) who posted that, so I felt I could tease a bit. I'm sure I like some games others may think of as garbage (room escape games anyone? ;) ). I was just playing around. Hope you're not too insulted!
