Archeo: Shinar vs Virtual Families
Archeo: Shinar
Archeo: Shinar is a fun, archeological-themed, business management-style game where you get to assemble a team of archeologists and send them on expeditions to excavate for valuable ancient items that you can then sell at the black market.Although the gameplay is pretty much casual-like, there are so many little details that you can scrutinize and optimize in this game just so you can run a more profitable business. Of course, as the leader of the team, you'll also be asked to make difficult decisions, some of which may not be well-received by the archeologists you hire.
So, if you love playing games where you'll need to manage a team and resources, you'll want to check out Archeo Shinar. The game is in-depth enough to be fun but is casual enough to be relaxing to play.
Virtual Families
Virtual Families is a fun family simulation game where you'll be in charge of taking care of a virtual family. Somewhat similar to The Sims albeit in a much smaller scale, you'll get to adopt a virtual person of your choice and encourage him or her to do what young adult humans do - find a stable career, meet a suitable partner and settle down to start a family. Instead of ordering your sim around though, you'll encourage certain behavior by praising and discourage others by scolding. In some way, you can say that you can actually shape the personality of your little virtual person.Aside from the sim, you'll also get to improve the newly-wed's home. There are even multiple hidden puzzles all over the place for you to find and solve. Sometimes, when you least expect it, an event will pop up threatening to turn the amazing virtual life you've built for your sim completely upside down! All of these provide some respite from the usual daily routine of your sims as they go about their day.
Virtual Families is an incredibly fun game especially for fans of life simulation games like The Sims. If you got the chance, you should really check this game out! The demo is free to play, but for the full experience, you'll need to buy the game.
