To announce some new stuff:

My game blog is up!  It’s a blog dedicated to my new journey as an online gaming newbie.  Currently, I’m playing Perfect World.  And my character’s name is Friamar.  Please do visit!

Also, our barkada’s first mini-movie is up too!  I didn’t post it in youtube because it really is our first time to do it, so it’s a bit crappy.  But we had so much fun doing it!

So, just visit Cyber Sabeerday, our barkada’s blog, to see the movie!

Just take a look at what’s keeping me up all night most of the time:

That’s my Perfect World (PW) character, Friamar, a Yu Ling currently playing at Level 9. It’s my dream to be a redhead.

Here’s me (actually, it’s Friamar and not me me) flying with my newbie wing. And yup, the moon looked beautiful

While I’m still a newbie at this game, I’m already definitely hooked. Now, that’s a problem, since I also want to start playing The Sims 2 (but haven’t installed it in the lappie yet as I’m not sure if my system will support it. I could try Sims Life Stories because it’s laptop-friendly, but I’m not really sure if it will run in Vista. Halp?) and these games will be taking up so much of my free time. But, don’t worry, I still have self-control hehehe.

Anybody who can teach me more about this game?

And so, after lemonade business, sim cities, theme park, hospital, and even cruise ship tycoon games, the tycoon game series have come to the fairy-godmother-creating-sensation. Believe me, the first time I came across this game at Yahoo! games, I was like, “WTF?!?! Now we create fairy godmothers too?!”

Actually, the title of the game is a bit misleading. In this game, you don’t create fairy godmothers. Instead, you try to resuscitate Fairy Godmother’s dying Potions Empire due to lots of competitors trying to boot her out of the business. Maybe it should have been named Professor Snape’s Potions Tycoon game.

It’s the usual tycoon game: you apply the laws of supply and demand and try to balance all factors to attain the goals of each level, like earning this certain amount of net worth or booting out a competitor.

At first, I was a bit hesitant to try this game. It sounded so girly. But while that I’m only looking for a light PC game which will not demand too much of my time (or my money), I decided to give it a try. No harm in having a go at it since it has a free trial version which has all the features of the game but you could only play it for one hour.

So, here we go:

By the way, all the screen captures of the game are taken from a level that I’ve just finished. I wasn’t able to take screen captures of the tutorial anyway.

So, at the menu, it’s a choice between the Classic Game and the Happy Ever After Game. If using it for the first time, you have to start the Classic Game first. The Happy Ever After Game only gets activated once you finished a level in the Classic Game.
