Games and More

Babies are cute.  Everyone loves them.  Miniclip.com thought they would take advantage of that fact and make a game about babies.

The game is Baby Blimp.  Your job is to help the storks in the baby factory prepare the babies for expectant parents.  Then you send out the storks to deliver those newly prepared little tykes.

As you progress through the levels you can upgrade your storks for speed and strength (carrying capacity).  You can also upgrade your factory with better toys, more beds and baths, all the things little babies might need.

It is a cute little game.  But probably not one I play more than once through.  Nor will it take too long to complete.  It’s a cute diversion.

On a lunch break and looking for something to do?  Try playing Farm Frenzy 2.  It is offered free from iwin games.

The game is periodically interrupted by sponsor’s ads and you are required to maintain an Internet connection.  Also an initial download is required.  However all the features of the purchased game are available.

The new version of Farm Frenzy allows you more choice in your game path.  It also features hidden picture bonus rounds.  You still purchase upgrades as you proceed through the game and again you can purchase them in whatever order you desire.  However, as in the previous version, some levels require certain upgrades.

This has all the enjoyable features of a time management game plus choices in round order and upgrades to keep it interesting.  I enjoyed it.

If you enjoyed Cake Shop or you just like time management games Game Fools.com has Cake Mania 2 available for free online play.

The second version of the game offers more varieties of cakes and frostings.  In order to see all the available options you will need to purchase an additional over and frosting machine.  Unlike the original version you choose your starting location as you attempt to help one or the other of Jill’s friends.  The game play is the same as the original–just different scenery and a different storyline.  Also, the graphics are better.

The second version does not offer the mini-games that are available in the third version.  Nor does it feature the dress up option.  However, it is still an enjoyable time management game if you are looking to while away a few hours.

If you enjoy time management games Cake Shop is a sweet take on the genre.  You are playing a young shop girl who moves to a new state to run a cake shop.  As the game progresses you purchase more items to draw people to your shop like coffee and ice cream machines.

But you don’t want to spend all your cash on shop upgrades because the shop girl is getting homesick.  To improve her mood you need to spend some of your hard earned cash constructing her new home.  When her mood is better the tips tend to be higher.

The shop upgrades must be purchased in order.  However, you do get to choose how much of your money goes into house construction versus shop upgrades.  You can find this game for sale at both BigFish and IWin game sites.  They also feature 60 minute trials.

However, if you are looking for a free version try Double Games.  You will have to endure ads around the game screen as well as the periodic ad message during your game.  Also, this version of the game does not include the house construction aspect of the game, which really took away from the game play.  I guess you get what you pay for.
