 Chicken Invaders 3: Revenge of the Yolk Easter Edition adds Easter baskets, and spring colors to the decor, but brings back the familiar play of Chicken Invaders 3. The boys are  thrilled to see the return of Chicken Invaders, as it has been one of our favorite games for the last few years. My daughter and I were a bit disappointed to see that it is the same game, dressed up with an Easter theme. We keep hoping that the multi player function of Chicken Invaders 2 will be brought back. If you are looking for a way to keep even your gaming in the colorful Easter spirit, Chicken Invaders 3: Revenge of the Yolk Easter Edition is a perfect fit. If you are just tired of those colorful peeps, and looking to take out some frustration, this fits the bill quite well!

Scarlett has decided to buy an arctic farm in Farm Frenzy 3: Ice Age. Travel with her to the North Pole to see the farm she purchased from an ad in the newspaper. Meet some of the locals who ask for your help, as you care for penguins, gather products and learn a few new skills like making ice cream. Take a break from your busy day and chill with Farm Frenzy 3: Ice Age.  

May be it wasn't the best idea to purchase the farm through the newspaper without looking at it, but it's up to you to figure out how to turn a profit with what you have in Farm Frenzy 3: Ice Age. Fend off your livestock, made up of mostly penguins, from the bears that wander across your farm. Breed penguins, and gather their eggs and other products and use them to produce the usual items.

  Farm Frenzy 3: Ice Age is another great Farm Frenzy time management game. The boys came to admire the penguins, and watch for bears while I played... patiently waiting to ask when they could get a turn. Farm Frenzy 3: Ice Age brings back the same familiar game play, but running a little smoother this time. The bears are slightly easier to catch, and they don't move faster than you can anymore! The music, sound effects , and the graphics are the friendly high quality that we are used to. This is definitely a new favorite in our house, and is being recommended as a must have for everyone who loves time management games.

And if you think the old west is a bit boring for you, then find out what happens when you update the farm with robots in Farm Frenzy 3: American Pie today.

I love the rustic old west scenery used in Farm Frenzy 3: American Pie. The game play is similar, but there are a few updates to how the bears and dogs look.

I would not have expected to have anything but fun with Farm Frenzy 3: American Pie and it did not dissappoint me. The kids gathered around to see the new animals, vehicles, and just to watch the game play. The Farm Frenzy games have got to be some of our all time favorite time management games.

Wow! What a great game! I love the fact that this game has several difficulty levels. There are Kid's, Junior, Normal, and Hard. I went with the normal setting, and found it to be fairly challenging. I am not used to Time Management games being all that challenging at the beginning! We also tried the Junior level and found it more manageable.

You get to start by choosing a pet that is found as a stray for you to take care of, and nurse back to an adoptable condition. You get to take care of your stray pet at the end of each day. During the day, you are running the adoption center by taking care of the animals and matching owners to the pets they want.

Who would have thought that you could use plants to defend your house and yourself from zombies?! This is exactly what you get to do in Plants vs. Zombies. As you survive each wave of zombies, they leave something for you...most of the time it is a useful plant seed to add to your arsenal. Choose you favorite plants before each round to defend yourself. Collect suns to buy more plants during play. (Hint: plant sunflowers who produce suns to buy seeds faster!) Each plant has its own strengths and weaknesses, and each zombie does too. Watch for their patterns, and position your plants accordingly!

I thought I would hate Plants vs. Zombies since it is filled with "zombies and killing", but I really enjoyed playing it. The storyline of zombies did not appeal to me, but the boys didn't seem to mind it, and they loved the various plants that you could buy, and what each of them did. Their favorite? The venus flytrap type plant that ate the zombies, of course! Personally, I loved the walnuts and the sunflowers... but neither of them were for destroying the zombies! I was having such fun with Plants vs. Zombies' addictive game play that I did not even want to stop long enough to write this review! Back to my arsenal of plants!
