So this weekend I had a blast. Pristine white beaches, blue-green ocean as far as the eye can see, some hottie boy bringing me drinks in my beach cabana. It was like a dream come true.
Ok... so maybe it kind of was a dream that I had while I was passed out drooling on my Economics 101 book. But it was a great dream I'm telling you. And all because of my latest find... Vacation Mogul!
Normally when I talk about games, it's something that I've played for a while and then I stop to tell you about it and continue playing... sorry guys... not this time. I couldn't stop playing it, it was so much fun! I kind of beat the game already and yet I'm still going back to try to beat my score on some of the really challenging levels.
Just imagine this... you're just hanging out say maybe going to school in a western college... and you get a call that says your Uncle has died... booo... but yay, he left you and your sister everything... including five resort islands. Well, naturally you just pack up your things and head to your new island paradise!
Once there, it's time to get this place in order... building nice luxury accommodations, shops, and attracting new tourists to stay in your hotels! Everything is going great, and the money is pouring in... until your sister goes missing and the lawyer who handled your Uncle's will stands to inherit everything if you don't find her and make.... One million dollars. Cue evil music now!
Now it's time to beat the clock on every board... and yes, it's challenging. You have to strategize before you just jump in there and start building hotels. I had to replay a lot of boards later after I had some more bonus points to get faster building and added time on the clock. Once you played for... oh I don't know... let's just say a couple of hours... you'll get the hang of how to build the perfect resort layout.
The game play and graphics were great! I obviously got pulled into the game, although that's really no surprise for me. Please, a game about me owning a tropical resort paradise... where can you possibly go wrong with that kind of premise? I am all over that.
Now, if you'll excuse me... I think I'll get back to my dream... it featured the cutest boy of the month... my new crush... Ok... real quick... he's a senior and he's in my Economics class. He's majoring in marketing, and he is sooooooo hot! Good thing I'm not really good at economics... think I'll be needing some major tutoring this semester. Cue evil music!!!
