Emily is Away

 

Title: Emily is Away <3  Game System: PC (Steam)  Game Type: Text Simulation

The year is 2008 and AIM is dead (for those of you old enough to know what I am talking about) all of your friends are on "facenook" and finally convince you to join. With your friends' help you navigate the end of high school. There are multiple ways the game can end, you get to decide how it does. You go through a few chapters to decide how the end of high school ends for you. 

I enjoyed this small game, I would have enjoyed seeing more added to it. However, for what it is it's a nice game. In order to type you just have to hit only 1 button to type it and then hit enter for it to send. It's a game to sit and enjoy for a couple hours. 

Grow Up

 

Title: Grow Up  Game System: PC (Steam)  Game Type: Simulation

When you first start the game you get a letter from your parents. You can pick how your parents look and your gender and then your name. Or you can leave most of it up to random. You will then go through stages from 1 to 18 by talking with kids at school and your parents. You can get a relationship with one of your friends. You use what's called a "brain map" to be able to get points so you may study and do entertainment. You pick some of the subjects you study. How you do on tests and how you respond to your friends and parents is how you will be dressed. I enjoy this game a bit more probably then I should but I am glad I own it and can nerd out. It's a nice relaxing game. Kind of like Sims but not as intricate.  

Diablo 3

Title: Diablo 3  Game System: Xbox One X  Game type: Fantasy

You create your character, you get to pick male or female along with your class. After you do that of course you get to pick your name. You follow the story line and there are some side quests along the way. The basic of the story is that Diablo has started wrecking havoc on the world and you are a nephalem and you are the only one that can stop him. With help from some people along your journey you get to not just take out Diablo but Death himself as well. After you finish the story line you are able to go through adventure mode and get some really cool gear!

This is a very well made game. Blizzard always knows how to make some of the best games. This game is on all platforms. I have it on PC and have access to it on Xbox. I love playing with other people and just questing on my own. This is a game you can play over and over and it is fun every time. 

Fable 2

Title: Fable 2  Game System: Xbox One  Game type: Fantasy

You pick if you want to be male or female and you start your story. Some of the story line can not be changed at all however you can pick how you react to things and it puts you closer to being angelic or evil. You can change your clothes but there is no armor with it. The clothes are for looks or to help you be evil, aggressive, attractive and much more. You go through and the main objective is to seek revenge on the man that kills your sister when you are just a child. You will go from being a child to a full grown adult with kids of your own if you so choose. After you defeat Lucian you have a choice to make out of three that effects the whole of Albion not just you. You can continue to play and maintain your character after you have beat Lucian. 

I really enjoyed this game. I have for many years from when it came out. The graphics when it came out were amazing and very lifelike, over the years the graphics don't seem as good but for the time it was made it was fantastic! There are a lot of side quests to help you along on becoming good or evil. There is also a lot of ways to make money to help you buy the best of the best. It is obvious there was a lot of time and effort put into the game and I enjoy playing it over and over. I hope you enjoy it as well if you play. Happy Gaming!!

Miitopia Demo

Title: Miitopia  Game System: 3DS/2DS  Game type: Casual Dungeon Crawler

You start by picking or creating your mii, you go along and instantly meet the bad guy. The villian takes faces of innocent villagers and puts them on beasts. You must defeat the beasts and monsters and the faces go back to the owner. The big faces that you see him take you have to talk to them to let them have their faces back. You upgrade armor to yourself and your party and feed them and sleep at Inns. The characters in your party interact with each other on their own and its a funny comic relief from the fighting. The closer your party gets with each other the more they will help each other in battle. Your objective is to go through and save everyone and their faces and defeat the boss. 

Now keep in mind this was just the demo so I haven't been able to play it all. However I am hooked and totally need to buy it now. The demo was a load of fun. Also a cool aspect is the progress you make with the demo can transfer to your actual game if you play like I did. I beat the demo in a matter of a couple hours. I was sad to see it end. This game was well thought out and super cute and fun. Great for all ages!!

Soda Dungeon

Title: Soda Dungeon  Game System: Computer  Game Type: Casual Dungeon Crawler

In this game you are you. The tavern keeper and everyone else talks to you and you upgrade the tavern from your winnings from running the dungeon. It is very simple. You can turn on auto and let it play for you. You pick up to 5 people to fight in this dungeon. With each new soda type you buy in the tavern you can get a new type of fighter. There are different type of monsters in the dungeon that you will have to fight, you can warp to other parts and can be caught in sleeping or poison traps. 

This game is very simple and very entertaining to watch and to play. Although it isn't very complicated or interactive you do buy things to help make the dungeon trips easier on you and to get more loot. It's fun to have going on in the background as you are doing other work or playing another game. 

Tomodachi Life

Title: Tomodachi Life  Game System: Nintendo 3ds  Game Type: Simulation

In this game you will be the look a like, You will create people and put them in their own apartment, due to the interaction between them they will develop relationships and friendships and they can even move into a house while keeping their apartments and have a kid. The kid you have two choices, you can send them off to explore other players lands. You also interact with the people you create by playing mini games with them and you can watch them do things. There is a fun interaction they will do if they catch you watching them when they are flirting with each other. 

I have enjoyed this game over the time I have had it. It reminds me of Sims in a lot of ways. There are still a lot of things I get to discover and enjoy about it and I hope you will all consider getting it as well.
