ElectroCity-

Electrocity is an online simulation game that takes place in a small town in New Zealand. In this game, you play the role of Mayor in the town. You receive 150 "turns"as mayor, and then the game ends. You decide how to fuel the town while keeping it green and its citizens happy. However,the more you develop your town, the more the need for energy increases. There are several options as to how to light your town, from a geothermal plant, to a gas well, to a marine generator. But it is still important to keep track of your budget, or you could bankrupt the town! To win ElectroCity, you have to try and get the highest score when you are graded on your actions as Mayor at the end of the game. People want to keep playing this game because there are so many different ways to play it. Each time you play, you can do something completely different. Also, because this game is very fun!

Another game I played was the McDonald's game. In this game, you control the entire McDonalds corporation. You must corrupt Nutritionists, Lawyers, Health Officials, and Environmentalists. You grow genetically modified soy and slaughter hormone-infested cows while trying to keep McDonalds employees from spitting in customers' food. Brain-washing children to buy your food is a part of the daily routine. You must keep the company running for as long as you can, but the game is chalenging, and you will find that keeping it put of bankrupcy is very difficult, which is one of the things that keeps you coming back for more...Have fun taking over the world.
