Escape From Paradise

Now here's a confusing title for a game: Escape From Paradise. It seems like everyone in life is trying to find paradise, not escape from it. Or maybe there's something more to it; maybe everyone is inadvertently trying to escape from paradise in their own lives. I doubt the developer of this game was trying to make that statement, though; it seems more like they were trying to capitalize on the success of the Virtual Villagers series.

Actually, after I played the Escape from Paradise game, it seemed less like a VV clone. More of a focus is placed in the mini-games, and in that way it almost reminds me of Tropix (a fantastic game of min-games, although clearly the swinging levels are the best). It's a fun game in its own right, even if it's obvious where the inspiration came from. Now all I'm waiting for is a shipwrecked villagers game with the Lost license. Gold mine!
