It is a pure delight to increase the skills of your artists and look at the finished masterpieces which they create in the course of the game. The player’s basic task is to restore a once glorious colony for artists such as musicians, painters, or singers. In which other game are you able to chase away sharks, to catch crabs, to deal with aggressive butterflies, and in passing create prestigious holiday resorts?Īrtist Colony lives up to its name by introducing a beautiful world which plays like The Sims at an art course.
APP LIKE WANDERING WILLOWS UPGRADE
After a large amount of building simulation games that could not compete at all with the original, Coconut Queen introduces the ability to build anywhere you want to, a very unusual upgrade system and hunks who are obeying only one lady. To come up with a biting version of Build-a-lot including a vast number of twists and improvements surely is not easy, but Coconut Queen makes it look like that. When you are finally able to leave the island you will think about that option twice. It becomes quite addictive to dig for recipes, collars, clothing patters, and to improve the skills of your pets. Desperately stranded on a strange island with even stranger inhabitants, you will slowly fall in love with this game where you have to care for different pets and fulfill a variety of quests for your fellow islanders. Playfirst surely has released a lot of good games this year, but Wandering Willows really stood out of the crowd.
The game itself surely is a little bit more challenging than the average casual game, but this gem definitely should be given a chance by everyone who loves games. The combination of building, battles, research, exploration and hidden object-gameplay could entertain patient players for at least 15 hours with the last level being the most exhausting and entertaining challenge I have experienced this year. This strategy game might have been one of the most unique, daring and innovative entries in the casual market of 2009. I loved it as a flash game, but when it moved to the iPhone it officially had a way of sneaking into my daily play habits wherever I went.
And yet that one button press to make the man jump balanced with the challenge of keeping him running as long as you can? Somehow this ended up being one of the most addictive experiences of 2009. As he runs faster and faster, all you can do to keep him from doing a faceplant into another building is jump.
It’s about a little guy who’s running (from what we don’t know). Sometimes it’s the simplest ideas that seem to gain the most traction. I don’t go a day without firing up Blitz half a dozen times or so to squeeze in a few quick rounds and try to trump my friends scores. Taking the traditionally solitary Bejeweled experience and making it social was a stroke of genius. The classic Bejeweled formula still holds up in 2009, proving its popularity with a killer Facebook app that eventually made its way onto the iPhone. Some of the content might be a little mature, but come on – the game has time travel, coat hangers, and Nazi dinosaurs. The sequel to last year’s Ben There, Dan That! offered up all of the ridiculous situations, over-the-top humor, and quality puzzling that you’d have expected from a classic LucasArts adventure. What most didn’t realize was that the most faithful keeper of the flame didn’t come in the form of a LucasArts license, but in an independent game made by two guys who’ve played LucasArts adventures way too much. Some are simply best-of-breed, while others just stuck out in our minds for being particularly fun or unique.įans of old school LucasArts games were all abuzz this year thanks to the re-release of classics like Loom and new stabs at old favourites like the Tales of Monkey Island series. The following list contains our picks for the most memorable games of 2009. From January to December, Gamezebo writers played, reviewed, analyzed and picked apart hundreds of games, so it takes something pretty special to stand out from the crowd.
