Influent is good entrant into a market that needs improvement!

This game is a great tool to learn vocabulary in different languages, and can be utilized to supplement existing courses and classes. The game play is simple and reptetitve but provides a good take on learning vocabulary that is different from conventional methods.

This game could use some improvement (ie, leaving the apartment, ways to utilize the tool as a teacher, allowing verbs and adjectives in the Vocab lists that can be associated to objects, etc etc).

With all that being said, as a English Language Teacher and Tutor in China, this has been a productive tool with my students in both settings. And I would recommend this tool to others looking to pick up some vocabulary in a target language.

Casual poker in its bluffing, tell guessing, strategizing, finest.

If you are looking for a casual Poker game that feels like poker night at your friends place look no further. The jokes, stories and running gags keep the game upbeat and fun. Although PN2 will not make you feel like you are at a Hold 'em tournament in Vegas, it will give you all the things you love about the game of poker.

Some noteable downsides include a lack of variable difficulty and no way to shut off the banter. However, the unlockables and themes add more value and stay true to the reason for picking up this game in the first place: To have fun!

Wonderfully simply, yet seductively complex.

The concept is simple: build your ship, man the battle-stations and rescue the galaxy. However, to complete the objective, a mind like Spock is needed more than that of Kirk. Although the game canned be played through with brute force (and thoroughly enjoyed), it entices the Captain to become a finesse player. Learning the ins and outs of the many possible combinations from types of ships and systems, to the types of aliens manning them. The variety of things you control, and the sheer randomness of the universe, adds a level or replay-ability not captured by other titles.

If you are looking for a game to pique your curiosity, demand your best management skills, and keep you having fun the whole way, scoop up FTL!

Suprisignly simple, yet addictavely fun. The Political Machine 2012 provides just enough custimization and structure to make an exciting game worth every penny of its price. It delivers great game mechanics and fulfills on what it promises to be, a whacky presidential race simulator.
