Don’t expect “how to” type of advice from Dov Seidman’s How. The “how to” doesn’t help you get ahead of competitors. You could lower prices, do things faster, and customize the product to the customer’s exact specifications. The competition can easily turn around and lower prices, do things faster, and customize more. It turns into [...]
Renegades usually don’t follow rules because that is what makes them renegades. Rules for Renegades aims to share Christine Comaford-Lynch’s experiences.

I wish biology teachers had Plant Tycoon based on real plants to help students learn about genetics and trait inheritance. The game is all about breeding and cross-pollinating plants to create expensive and rare plants as well as the six magic plants. This one is more an interactive experience in pumping up your green thumb [...]
The name of the game can mean different things. One, you’re “Miss Manager” of the office formally known as Denise. Two, the office is full of mismanagement — not much of it is Denise’s fault.

With so many solitaire games out there for computers and handhelds, you’d think, “Enough already!” Astraware didn’t let the thought of a crowded market stop them and it was a winning move as Astraware Solitaire hit a Blackjack. The company earned my respect years ago and continued to keep it with its releasing high quality games [...]
Jill Evans returns! Hard to believe it’s been almost a year since we’ve met Jill (no relation) in Cake Mania and helped her bakery. She comes back to help her friends who have problems with their bakeries. The game introduces a “choose your own adventure” style feature where you decide which friend of Jill’s to [...]
Lottso! Deluxe rolls together bingo, lottery scratch cards, luck and competition. Because of its originality and combination of several games in one, I am rooting for this one to be a hit. Unfortunately, it fails to live up to expectations. I didn’t want to play the game anymore within an hour, but kept playing in [...]
Taking cue from The One Minute Manager, Zapp!, Fish! and Who Moved My Cheese?, The Hamster Revolution uses a parable to show how to better manage and organize e-mail and information. The hamster represents people endlessly running on the wheel of e-mail. Right away, I start using concepts from the 90-minute book. Considering I’m an [...]
