Jeu d'enfant


If like me, you are into simulation/strategy games like SIMS 2, I would really suggest a few really really interesting simulation/strategy games that I have been playing.
(And I've been complaining that I've little time to study...)

1. KUDOS Rock Legend

This game is sadly a little one dimensioned, and the graphics not very exciting. But it rocks (no pun intended) to be a rock band manager! (Or at least pretend to be...)

This game allows you to control the rehearsals, the gigs as well as the types of merchandises available for the band to grow and gain fame. You can even help them 'practise' with your memory, and help them gain skills. Even when it comes to choosing members, proceed with caution as some of them clash in personality, and they can walk out on you anytime. Even on the day of your gig.


Quite an addictive game; my only grouse is that it is too one - dimensional. I have managed to allow my band to sign a contract, release albums and endorse products, but the game also ended too fast to see the potential.

3.5 stars out of 5 stars.

* This game actually has its own predecessor - Kudos, and it is not as fun as Rock Legend. Characters do not really have much development, and it's just plain clicking. You can try the trial versions - they can provide quite an insight.

2. Chocolatier and Chocolatier 2


This is really one of my favourite games - more of Chocolatier 2 actually. It allows u to purchase supplies, produce chocolates which look really yummy-scrumpti-delicious. And you go for quests and it is really interesting. It has gotten me hooked for very long! The ultimate aim is to become a Master Chocolatier, with a myriad of fancy chocolate recipes under your belt. =)

3. Jojo Fashion Show



Okay, I wouldn't call this a mentally stimulating game but it is FUN for dreamers like me, who want to design my own fashion chain and have fanciful clothes to dress my models. It has 70 stages and it is addictive. My grouse is that at about 40+ stages, it gets abit boring, asking u to mix and match clothes according to colour. It is a little brainless then. Other than that, it is fun! My favourite ones are the futuristic and bridal wear. Drools. =)
