A constellation in the sky aligns with the solar eclipse sending a beam of light shooting up from the ground. Upon investigating this phenomenon you and your friends are transported to another place. Build a village to care for yourselves while you solve the puzzle of how to return home. Tend to the needs of your village and solve the puzzle of Gemini Lost.


Gemini Lost
Explore ancient ruins and find a way to care for your ever increasing population of villagers in Gemini Lost. Find compatible villagers to marry and produce children as you learn to farm and build better shelters. Explore your new home and find the missing pieces to the machine that transported you all to the new place.




I loved the graphics of Gemini Lost! The friendly faces brought everyone over to see the game. Although there are a lot of strategy games involving caring for and improving your village that have come into our house lately, this game had everyone excited to start their own village. Gemini Lost is a simple game with helpful hints on what to do next, making it fun for the younger crowd too. We are giving this game our approval and recommending it as a nice strategy game for the whole family!

Chicken Invaders 3: Revenge of the Yolk Easter Edition

Rejoin our hero as he saves the Earth from certain doom, as the intergalactic chickens once again seek their revenge for what we do every day to their brethren! Will you be able to stop the Easter dyed YolkStar before it is completed? Will you survive the endless attacks of the intergalactic chickens? Race with the comets, and blast through the Eater baskets to find out in Chicken Invaders 3: Revenge of the Yolk Easter Edition.


Chicken Invaders 3: Revenge of the Yolk Easter EditionThe intergalactic chickens have returned and this time they are dressed for Easter in Chicken Invaders 3: Revenge of the Yolk Easter Edition.

Gather food for missiles and free lives, and watch the counter going up as you eat the familiar drumsticks, whole chickens, and various size chicken burgers!

 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!

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.

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.

Help keep them watered and free of weeds to keep them healthy. Chase the mice and crows out of the fields to save your crops for sale.

Magic Seeds is the type of Time Management game that I usually enjoy. It has pleasant sound track that includes bird calls that attracted the boys interest. The idea of crossing plants to develop new breeds, and being able to track it in the in game chart was interesting to me. It seems that Magic Seeds is a fairly simple program, that is fairly easily finished. This does not diminish the fun to be had by playing this game. This simple game is one to add to your pc computer game library today!

Farm Frenzy 3: American Pie


Farm Frenzy 3: American Pie


Join Scarlett as she heads out west to save granny's farm with Farm Frenzy 3: American Pie. Not only do we have turkeys laying the eggs this time, but the dogs are meaner and get into brawls with the bears. 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.

Farm Frenzy 3: American Pie
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. Watch out for the zany animations that drop or fly across your screen.. it is just a bit of a distraction to see a bear flying by umbrella down your screen as you scramble to pick up eggs, and keep your products moving!Work through the career mode to unlock the endless mode and get lost working out on the farm for a while...


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. We fell in love with the original Farm Frenzy, and have loved every one since.. this makes the fifth Farm Frenzy game that we have bought. We highly recommend adding Farm Frenzy 3: American Pie to your pc computer game library! We are having a blast with it!
