Cooking Craze vs Virtual Villagers: The Lost Children
Cooking Craze
Cooking Craze is a very addictive and yet surprisingly easy-to-play time management game developed and published by Big Fish Games. Featuring a linear progression path resembling what you'd see in a standard match-3 games, Cooking Craze is so different from all the other similar cafe or restaurant-themed time management games mainly through its unique gameplay - it's very simple and well-suited for the mobile market. As opposed of having to drag and drop stuff on a small mobile screen, the game is designed so that you can simply tap once to prepare the foodstuff, another 1 or 2 times to add "toppings", and once more to serve the food to your customers. Coins that are left behind are then automatically collected.Not to mention, Cooking Craze also has a 3-tier per level system whereby each new tier represents a higher difficulty level. You are not forced to replay a level just to complete all 3 tiers, unless there's a golden comment card, which is needed to unlock new restaurants, attached to the second or third tier rather than the first, but you'll end up having more coins to spend on food and tool upgrades if you do.
Cooking Craze is indeed a very intriguing time management game (since it's likely the first of its kind) that's just perfect for casual gamers to put in a couple of minutes of play in between the gaps in their schedules and daily routines.
Virtual Villagers: The Lost Children
Virtual Villagers: The Lost Children is the second installment in the Virtual Villagers series. In this game, your small tribe managed to rescue a group of children adrift at sea. These children will need nurturing and it falls on you, the leader of the tribe to provide them with just that. Of course, you'll still need to explore the west side of Isola in hopes of discovering and learning more about the mysterious island.Similar to the previous game, Virtual Villagers: The Lost Children contains plenty of unpredictable events that will pop up from time to time to challenge your problem-solving skills. This effectively dispels the monotony of the day-to-day.
So, if you enjoy life simulation games or if you love playing Virtual Villagers' games, you'll want this in your game library as well.
