Fever Frenzy Game

Here's a new diner/customer service game from Legacy Interactive. Legacy does good work, and Frenzy Frenzy definitely has all of the ingredients to be a big hit. The gist of it is that you play a nurse in a quirky hospital. All of the patients have puns for diseases: 3rd degree sideburns, bipolarbear disorder, and so on.

It's funny, and the art looks top notch to match. I haven't played long enough to get a real sense of how the game holds up, but if the genre is any indication it will provide a sort of trance-like fun. It's easy to sink time into a game like this. If anyone checks it out further feel free to leave a comment with your thoughts. Until then, here's the link:

Sally's Salon Game

Here's a fun, gossipy game for fans of the customer service/diner genre. In Sally's Salon you play the role of a hairdresser working her way up in the fashion world. Keep up with the hustle and bustle of making sure people get their hair style done right. Some people want hair colorings, others a trim.

Thankfully, you can hire new employees and purchase new equipment to keep up with the demand. It seems like Sally starts to get well-known, too, as she moves from a lowly mall location all the way up to a darling Hollywood Salon.

I think a hair salon is a great theme for a diner game like this. Everyone gets their hair cut somewhere, whether it's a cheap $10 haircut or a fancy hand-massage-included $50 style. At least a bad haircut in Sally's Salon won't haunt you in real life ;)

Ricochet Infinity Game

Finally, a new game in the Ricochet series! Those of you who don't normally play breakout games might not know what I'm talking about here. The Ricochet series (or Rebound some places) is a great brick-busting style game. It seems like this genre tends to compete on number of levels and features, and the new Ricochet Infinity certainly packs those in.

We're looking at 200+ levels, a bunch of modes, and some new game features (a "recall" function, likely taken from Break Quest). Reflexive has a decent-sized team of artists and staff, and Infinity definitely reflects their production muscle. If you're looking to try out an Arkanoid game, this is a great place to start!

Daycare Nightmare Game

Have you ever done some babysitting for a friend until to discover their children are terrible little monsters? Well, not actually, but it sometimes feels like that. Daycare Nightmare really is about little monsters. It's an adorable little state management game where you need to take care of classic horror monsters: baby vampires, werewolves, and so on.

It's cute but kind of horrifying. I mean, it's difficult enough to take care of real children. I can't imagine what it would be like to take care of a little demon child (literally). Thanks to Daycare Nightmare I don't have to imagine. I can play it!

Wedding Dash Game

PlayFirst is coming out with a new franchise next week. This time, the game is Wedding Dash, and it's essentially what you would guess from the name. Instead of Flo serving tables, you play as Quinn, a wedding planning trying to hold the big day together.

Keep the food stocked, the cakes from tipping over, the bridesmaids from getting into petty fights, and the guests all happy. It looks like a surefire hit, and I'll keep you posted when it'll be released. The last I had heard, release was set for July 31st (a Tuesday). Check back then, or leave your email at the link below to get notified when it's released. It's wedding time!

Posh Shop Game

Now here's a sure-fire hit of a game, simply judging by the theme: Shopping. In the new game Posh Shop, you play the role of a shopping assitant. Help customers piece together the perfect outfit. There are the usual pressures, including time and a restocking fee if you don't completely clear the floor. Still, it's pretty much a shopping game.

Someone should develop a shopping game based on the What Not to Wear license. Now that would be a smart move, and a guaranteed million dollars of profit. Even though every single episode plays out in th exact same order--first shopping day is hard, they can't follow the rules, but then the hosts swoop in and save the day--I still can't get enough. If only I could play that in computer game form! Until I can, Posh Shop will have to do.

Turbo Pizza Game

Looks like the guys over at Aliasworlds have cooked up a new diner game for everyone to enjoy! Turbo Pizza is a fresh diner game with a lot of the same mechanics: serve up food--in this case, pizzas--to hungry and waiting customers. It has a few twists, but overall it just has very solid production. I really dig the art style, and the graphics are polished and very colorful.

If you're looking for another diner game to keep you satisfied you should definitely play some Turbo Pizza. There have been a spate of service games lately, but this one looks like it'll climb its way to the top of the deliciously cheesy pile. Yum!
