Guns Girls Lawyers Dollars (GGLD) is a business strategy game. Your main objective is to build world business empire as an arms dealer. Your company consists of President (you), Company Stations (established around the world to give you various information and earn profit) and Company Units (Escort Units that travel with president; Station Units which protect company stations) .

Your basic task is to travel around the world, buy and sell goods (weapons and mercenaries), hire units for company protection and establish company stations. The world isn't a peaceful place. Countries can be in war, political instability, civil war, cold war and sanctions. This is not bad for arms trade business, and you should consider country political situation in order to find best place to buy or sell goods.

Naturally, arms trade business is not so popular in some countries. Map view button "Company Status" can give you some information regarding country hospitality (which can be Ally, Neutral and State Enemy). Expect you won't be welcome in states where your company status is "State Enemy".

Your basic transportation will be company cargo plane. President, your escort units and your cargo load are placed in cargo plane (except airplane units; they fly beside your cargo planes as an air protection). So you must be careful in choosing your company units and your goods in order to comply with free cargo space in your cargo plane. Free cargo space can be increased by buying additional cargo planes.

Time is important factor. Flights from country to country takes time. Your speed will be the speed of your slowest cargo plane. For the less successful businessmen there is always an alternative: robbing the banks. Don't except that country where your action takes place loves that; your company status there will be decreased.

What's in the game:

• 500 units for trade or combat
• 120 Countries
• Bodyguards, Secretaries, Lawyers, Agents and Criminals
• Buy and sell tanks, planes, vehicles, artillery, and chemical weapons
• Establish company stations
• Make maximum profit
• Search and Destroy
• Find and rescue
• Rob banks
• Enjoy the life

In the third chapter of this simulation series, you guide your tribe as it populates a new part of Isola.

Virtual Villagers offers you the chance to develop the skill sets of each and every one of your tribe members, as they grow up and become older. Each tribe member has his own character and what he likes and dislikes. You will have to make the best of all of them to make sure the whole tribe survives and becomes stronger. Throughout the game you will also be presented with a number of puzzles to solve. Winning tech points will improve your skills (leadership, restoration, alchemy, medicine and science).

If you are a big fan of simulation games and notably of The Sims series you will probably like this game. However, although the game offers enough help, the lack of clear objectives at the beginning might put off some users. You will need a bit of patience before your tribe really starts developing.

Virtual Villagers 3 - The Secret City is faithful to other iterations of the series: good graphics, lots of puzzles and control over a number of characters. A fun and exotic simulation game!

Who hasn't dreamed of one day making millions as a hacker? In Uplink you perform all sorts of jobs for major corporations, hacking into servers, stealing files and making money in the process.

Uplink adds a realistic touch to the game, as you start out by being hired and have a set of software tools, including crackers and file removers, to work with. You regularly receive missions via email, which you can decide to perform any time.

The game is obviously aimed at geeks, or anyone who was left fascinated with the Matrix as it includes a very technical side to it, where you can actually check the performances of your own PC and improve it. You'll also have to manage the money you earn wisely, as you can invest in shares and monitor the stock market.

Despite weak graphics, Uplink is a very exciting game with a strategical side to it. Will appeal to wannabe hackers.

Everyone has sometime dreamed of being mayor and ruling a city. The good news is that you can now make that dream come true.

City Life gives you the reins of a whole city and entrusts you a simple yet difficult mission: manage every single aspect of your city and make it a great place to live. You can choose to play either in Scenario mode, where you begin your career with an already built city, or in Free mode, in which you start building everything up from scratch. Whatever playing mode you choose, you must take care of every single detail: power factories to light up streets, residential areas for citizens, companies and firms for them to work, shopping areas, hospitals, schools and of course, traffic and public transportation. As you can imagine, you'll need loads of concentration and a good strategy if you want to succeed as virtual major. Man, I never knew running a city was that hard!

But that's not all: City Life includes another challenge, this time involving citizens themselves. They're categorized in different social classes and you'll need to have that into account when building residential areas if you don't want demonstrations and riots going on everyday.

Gameplay is quite easy: most actions are performed with the mouse, plus menus are simple and clear. I especially enjoyed the ability to zoom in up to street level, so that you can actually walk along the inhabitants of your city. On the downside, moving around the map is not that intuitive and I couldn't find a way to change perspective with the mouse, which is far more comfortable than they keyboard.

City Life 2008 lets you build the city of your dreams, but be aware that this involves a lot of work!

Buying and selling property has become one of the most popular ways to make a lot of money in a relatively short space of time. The closest I've got to getting onto the property ladder was selling my garden shed to a local tramp, but unfortunately he couldn't keep up the repayments. So I decided to try and make some money from the housing market in a virtual environment as it seems a lot safer.

Real E$tate Empire is a strategy game, where, starting with just a caravan, you must wheel and deal your way around the property market. You can haggle over the price of property and make money from rentals before selling on the real estate for a profit. As you build up your portfolio you can buy increasingly grand properties.

The game is simple to understand and to handle but I soon got bored of it as the process of buying and selling becomes quite tedious. Graphically, the game is very simplistic and the sound in the game is pretty annoying. If you're a power-hungry wannabe property tycoon then you should enjoy Real E$tate Empire. If not, you're likely to get bored within a few minutes.

I must admit I had some prejudices about this game before testing it. It looked like the typical teenager game set in a pink, Barbie-like world, but the truth is very different. In fact Beauty Factory is more similar to those typical tycoon games where you have to build your own empire.

Beauty Factory follows that line, only that this time it's a beauty products company. After creating and customizing your avatar, you'll have to do research for different products (perfume, mascara, eyeshadow, lipstick...), design their packaging, plan a marketing campaign and start the production. Then you'll have to check sales reports and adjust your production according to benefits and market demand.

You take control of every single aspect in the game from a overhead perspective, not actually moving characters from one place to the other, but checking the different areas in your company and making sure they're going the right way. The games features a nice 3D design and a good background music as well.

Although it may sound a bit complicated, I can assure you it's not. Actually, it's fun to be in charge of a fictional company and play your role as boss. Plus, Beauty Factory is easy to learn to play and it even includes a useful tip collection at the beginning of the game -which, on the other hand, would be nice to have at hand during the game. Of course, mastering the whole cosmetic business is a different story!

There are countless management simulations out there that let you assume the role of anything from football coach to railroad tycoon. However, this is the first game I've come across that allows you to take command of a Hollywood film studio. I never realised there was so much involved in building a film empire until I played this game, where you must take charge of the budgeting, casting, approaches from writers, hiring and firing of directors and producers, and lots more.

With so many options presented within a very text-intensive interface it's a little difficult to get into the game at first and all the stats, facts and figures can be overwhelming. With persistance though Hollywood Mogul can be amusing as you choose the types of films you want to make, discover new acting and directing talent and even take care of your own life by buying property and maintaing a love life. Ultimately though, the game gets a little repetitive and the fact that the actors and directors included in the game are made-up makes it difficult to develop any kind of long-term attachment. Not a turkey, but by no means a blockbuster.

Do you want to be a Rock Star? Then this new game is just for you! The game is part RPG, part life-sim, part Tycoon game. You are a struggling rock singer who puts together their own band, and tries to achieve fame and fortune, from humble beginnings as a starving garage-band. Pick your band-members, choose the band name, write the songs, play the gigs...

Rock Legend is a turn-based game. Each turn of the game represents a single day, and it's up to you to decide how the band spends their time. Some of the activities you will need to spend time on include songwriting, rehearsals, auditions, publicity events, practicing individual instruments, and of course, recording your latest album.

The game has sophisticated AI that controls your band members (you are the singer, they are your backing band) and decides how motivated, energetic and happy they are. If you work the band too hard, arrange poorly-attended gigs, and don't provide your band with the lifestyle they expect, you will have resignations on your hands. Running a successful band is part financial management, part people-management, and part creative struggle. Would you survive the music business?

Simutrans is a transport and economic simulation game. Simutrans has not yet reached production state, but it is quite possible to build big transport networks between the industries and cities.

The player can create bus and rail connections and transport passengers, mail and goods in and between cities and industries. Even passenger ferries and oil tankers are included in the game. Goods are produced by industries from raw materials, sometimes over many steps of intermediate products. i.e. coal and iron ore are needed to produce steel in a steel mill. Oil may be transformed to plastics in a refinery. Plastics and steel are used to build cars by the car industry. Finally the cars are sold in the cities which need gas to run, which will also be produced at the refinery.

All goods need to be transported which is the ultimate aim. Transport the goods and allow industry to thrive but be careful not to destroy the environment!
