SuperCity Review (★★★)

Super City is an amazing Facebook application.

Unlike most other games, it's amazingly animated. With more than one land, it's even more fun!
With animated people, it shows its superiority over other games.

Unfortunately, not many people use the application. It's only been running for one year.

On the other hand, it takes ages to load, and sometimes it never even loads!

But it's worth the wait, even if some of the features don't work! The stealing neighbours' money doesn't work, and when it does it works badly.
The game has lag and you level up slowly.

Of course, as with all Facebook game, you need friends to buy things. And most of my friends who play the game have quit, so it's useless.

Once you get over all of that, you may enjoy it!

The game's like Marmite... you either love it or you hate it.
I suggest you try it, but not on toast.

I give it (★★★) out of 5 stars.










Cityville Review (★★★)


One of Zynga's best games, in my opinion.

A customisable 3D map of your own city, built up from scratch. It is very favourable, and VERY addictive. It follows the design of most Zynga games, though, and has many of the ordinary features that a Facebook game should have: Coins, Cash, Energy and XP.

However, they have many sneaky ways to get money and players.
To get a building, you need people. These are friends or robots. For a friend, they need to be invited into the game. Otherwise you pay "City Bucks" to hire an automatically generated person to have a role in your building. But you pay real money for City Bucks...




And it's not just Zynga who are profiting from this...

People with huge cities start selling guides with strategies to the game. Turning your small default city in to a thriving metropolitan.


These guides cost a fortune and are practically useless.



I don't recommend you buy any of these, though, as they are a complete waste of money. They won't make you rich, it's just silly tips which are impossible unless you are a complete addict and it is your life.


I've given it a rating of (★★★) out of 5.













Habbo.com Review (★★)

Habbo used to be an amazing site.

But somewhere, something went wrong.

First of all, profanity is a large issue. What happened to kindness? Was it washed away once people got to the age of thirteen? The language people use on Habbo is abhorrent, and I don't mean French.

"Mind your P's and Q's", as the old proverb states. It seems it was lost, as with the old Habbo...

Too many updates ruined a site which was once popular with millions of teenagers worldwide. After asking an anonymous Habbo.com user about what he thought of new Habbo, he said:


"Habbo's lost it's way. After the merge [a common term referring to when all of the national Habbos created one, huge Habbo website, Habbo.com] Habbo became rubbish. The staff changed, we lost some amazing games and it became difficult to navigate."

Moreover, users have to spend a lot of  money to buy Habbo credits, which is spent on useless furniture. That's if it's not scammed from you by another greedy user, which the moderators then turn a blind eye to.

They claim to care, but half of them are racists. Have you seen some Youtube videos that angry users have posted? Kicked by a moderator "For Being Black". This isn't National Security, it's Habbo, moderators!

What's happened, Habbo? You'd better listen to your users or you'll lose a lot of them!
