Restaurant City

[calzephyr]

I thought Pet Society on Facebook was the bomb, but I think I like Restaurant City even better sometimes, even though both are made by the same company, PlayFish. I'm up to level 20 after playing for at least two months. It's fascinating to occasionally watch like most sim games are - ooh, ooh, look at that customer, using the washroom but not ordering food - ooh, ooh, the dirty dishes are piling up!

The fun in the game comes from the addiction to levelling up and all the rewards that that next level offers - a bigger restaurant, more staff, bonus cash to name a few. I'm able to hire 7 friends besides myself, and so far it seems quite profitable to stagger them in teams - have 6 people working while 2 are resting or vice versa - to keep food flying at all times. There's all sorts of tip guides out there natch. Now that my restaurant is big enough, I'm going to start fiddling with the design.

I am addicted to Farm Town :)

I've noticed :-) I wish you were playing Farmville...I don't think I can possibly join another game at this rate!

I'm not really into Facebook or its games, but I play a different game called Star Pirates not through Facebook where you're the captain of a spaceship and you kill other people and level up your ship and fly around the Solar System and join fleets where you all attack each other. I find it fun and low commitment.

I like low commitment games :-) There are some that seem to require a bizarre form of OCD to be successful! Have you seen Kingdom of Loathing? I played that for a long while until I forgot to log in and let my seal clubber lapse. I just couldn't get back into it after that :-) I think hubs would like Star Pirates.

I'm on Facebook, but I simply could not get into any of the games there. However, I am thoroughly addicted to Howrse! Have I told you about it before? It's a horse breeding sim game that meshes real horse breeds with mythology. It's challenging and fun.

Oh yes, I'm well aware of it :-) I'm too scared to get sucked into it though :-D My friend sighthoundlady does a lot of breeding on there!

Restaurant City is pretty neat, though I have to admit I like Café World somewhat better. Less of a difference now that Playfish fixed the flaw where you didn't get experience awarded when you didn't have your restaurant open, though.

(I still dislike Facebook, but I ended up joining for the games.)

I was not much of a Facebooker either until I got sucked into the games too. It's shameful how much time I have spent on Bejewelled! I keep seeing ads for Cafe World, but I just can't join anything else. It would have to be pretty super for me to do so.
