10/10/2007 Entry: "Build-A-Lot"

Build-A-Lot is a strategy / time-management game. The tutorial is really great at explaining the entire "flipping" houses process. I learned the majority of the controls of this game within 15 minutes.

Beware, this game is very addicting and may cause you to play for HOURS on end. I, personally, found this game to be quite challening. Nanny Mania and Diner Dash were a breeze for me. But Build-A-Lot had me juggling many tasks at the same time and I was pushed to my limits! So if you're looking for a good time-management/strategy game, Build-A-Lot is for you!

Build-A-Lot is filled with great graphics and really easy game-play. There is a "Play Career" and "Play Casual". You must play the career section first to unlock the casual play. This is a good feature because the career section is also a built-in tutorial to the more advanced levels of the game.

This game is safe for all ages. A basic reading level is helpful to play this game. The mayors of each town will give you jobs to do, so you must know how to read the instructions in order to complete the game.
