Game Dev Tycoon vs Zoo Tycoon
Game Dev Tycoon
Game Dev Tycoon is a fun tycoon game where you get to experience growing a start-up into a successful games company. Here, you not only can enjoy managing your team of game developers; you'll even have the freedom to create a game that you like by simply mixing and matching genres, engines and platforms, and by determining development priorities. There are many different successful genre combinations for you to discover along the way as well and from time to time, you'll be surprised with events that change the public perception of your game. Even a previous successful franchise can fall flat if you don't take into account feedback from your players.Aside from letting its players strive for the "indie to triple A" experience, Game Dev Tycoon does give players a very nice insight into the ins-and-outs of a typical games company as well as into the history of games (game platforms in particular) in an entertaining way. Do give the game a try if you enjoy tycoon games. It is definitely worth every cent you'll spend.
Zoo Tycoon
Zoo Tycoon is a zoo simulation game where you can build and decorate your very own virtual zoo and fill it with a wide variety of common and exotic animals, be it a herbivore, an omnivore or a carnivore. You'll also need to provide these animals with the proper enclosure, hire zookeepers to tend to their needs, and build facilities for the zoo's visitors so they'd have a great time there, and hence, spend more cash. There are plenty of ways for you to really customize your zoo, from the paths you build and the benches you place. You can even control how much to charge your visitors... this is after all, a real tycoon game.If you adore animals of all shapes and sizes, and you happen to enjoy playing tycoon games, you'll want to take a look at Zoo Tycoon. The game's not THAT old yet so its graphics is still pretty bearable, but if you got the Xbox version, you'll be super delighted at the visual upgrade that Microsoft has added to the game.
