Great Game
Cash Cow is a fun, addicting little game. I loved it, and so did my six year old.
You group coins to make a certain amount of money to help Buck the cow save his farm. The gameplay is based on those abundant 'three-or-more' games, but this one has a twist. You're not looking for three or more of the same, but instead, grouping two nickels to make a dime, or ten dimes to make a dollar. There are also fun bonuses, if you group glowing coins, where you get cash registers, or piggy banks that earn you more money and enhance the gameplay.
After each level, you get to see the improvements being made to the farm. And this is the only part of the game that disappointed me. In Cash Cow there is no interaction at this part. The picture of the farm updates to show what has changed, and you move on to the next level. If the makers could let you have the same input that you have when playing games like Diner Dash where you can choose what type of tree you want to plant, or what color the new roof will be, it would have been much neater.
All in all, it's a fun, relaxing game that all age groups will enjoy. |

I would have liked it...
This game follows the same formula as most sim games. You choose how much to train your boxers, you pick some training equipment, and some other run of the mill things. What's neat about this game is that you get a little more interaction than in most games. While your boxer is fighting, you can change his fighting style, encourage him, and heal him.
The downside is the frequent hiccups and loss of information. Occasionally you get a boxer that you can't do anything with, and often you find fights scheduled for a boxer that doesn't exist, and the fights you did schedule have disappeared. Plus, there are spelling errors in some of the text.
The developers have a good idea, but I'd wait to buy anything until they fix the inconsistencies. |

Eye Candy
This game is so adorable that it's almost sickening.
It's a new take on the match-3 style. In Candy Can, you match specific shapes out of the different colored candies. It can get very frustrating when that shape just simply isn't there, but usually, you can find it easily and proceed to the next shape. The graphics and cutesy music just add to the saccharine quality of this gem of a game. |

Prefer the original
Although the graphics are better in this new version, JAMDAT added so many confusing different aspects that the game felt muddled. I spent most of my time playing this frustrated instead of relaxed and having fun. Not the feelings I want when playing a game. |

Addicting game
When you first read the description, it sounds like a Sims rip-off. Don't let that fool you... it's much more interesting. It's a very detailed game, and every choice you make effects your character's outcome. You get several different career paths, plus directions in which you can move your social life. I recommend taking classes and reading up on things; it spices up the game. |
