The Farm Frenzy franchise is out of control, but entertains and the themes change the pace. Many games use Ancient Rome as a theme and it’s no surprise because it was a fascinating time in history. Pair the backdrop of Ancient Rome with the wild ride that’s Farm Frenzy, and you’ve got a match that has fans fiddling in excitement.

A long time ago, a courageous young woman named Scarlett farmed her land in an effort to feed her country’s soldiers and ensure the return of her beloved from the battlefield. Join her as she races to grow crops, raise animals and produce essential goods before time runs out. Be her guiding hand as she sends her products to market on a galley, dispatch her chariot to fetch the supplies she needs, and protect her farm against barbarian bears in Farm Frenzy: Ancient Rome!

Download and try Farm Frenzy: Ancient Rome.

I love the Virtual Villagers series. They don’t quite fit into the popular genres for game downloads. The best way to describe them is they’re adventure games where you have free rein. You don’t move from scene to scene. You roam around the entire island without each scene loading as a stand-alone scene.

It’s worth a try. Doesn’t cost you anything but a little bit of your time.

In this new chapter of the Virtual Villagers series, you explore the center of Isola. Bring in new members to your tribe and make them believe in you! Use your incredible God Powers to impress the New Believers and make them be completely devoted to you. Work your way through perplexing puzzles and survive intense Island events in Virtual Villagers 5: New Believers.

Here’s a game that might catch writers’ eyes. A good way to fight writer’s block… play a game. No guilt when you’re playing a writer.

With her deadline looming, a romance author escapes to Eastern Europe with the hope that a trip to Transylvania can provide the inspiration she needs to rewrite her latest book. But soon her discovery of a Victorian-era love triangle provides much more than a new storyline: it provides an entire novel’s worth! Reunite the long lost lovers in the afterlife in The Stroke of Midnight, a fun (seriously, is anyone in marketing going to call a game anything but fun?) hidden object game.

If you decide you like the game and it’s your first game from Big Fish Games, be sure to use coupon code NEW50 to save 50 percent.

Download The Stroke of Midnight free to see if you like the game.
