Build your dream restaurant with this new social game!

Zynga's Chefville Logo

Check out more great game reviews from the Video Game Cove!

   Chefville, one of the latest games from Zynga, is a game where you get to build your dream restaurant. There is a big difference between Cafeworld and Chefville. One big difference, is that you use ingredients to create your dishes, and you can gather them by using energy on their respective items, such as tomato vines, milk trucks, gathering wild onions, mushrooms, and so forth. Also, this game gives you a generous amount of energy, unlike other games where energy consumption is very strict. You start off with 25 Energy, which is more than enough just starting out.

Zynga's The Ville Review

Zynga's The Ville LogoZynga's The Ville Social Game Review!

If you want a Sims style game on facebook, this is one of them!

  The Ville, is Zynga's answer to Electronic Arts' social game, "The Sims Social". The Ville starts off by creating your avatar character, and then you are giving some tutorial missions to learn the basics of the game, as in most Zynga games. One of the big differences in this game is the game still uses the Energy system, which refills slowly every 4 or 5 minutes, but you now use Happiness, which is spent of work items, like the sewing machine, and other work items, which turns your spent happiness into coins, which can be used to buy more expensive items.

Tips for Preordering games and Paying them Down!:

A small guide to smart, financial usage of paying them down!



Borderlands 2 ultimate Loot Box edition
Borderlands 2 Deluxe Vault Hunter's Collectors Edition
Hello everyone, today we have a tip that I am sharing with our readers today on how to properly help with paying down on preorders. Video games are not cheap, and are usually around 60 dollars plus tax, and some collector editions can be well over the 100 dollar mark, such as the Borderlands 2 Ultimate Loot Box for example (above pic). Its around 150 US dollars plus tax, so if you are a Borderlands junkie like me and really love your game, it can be a real hit to the wallet. I will offer some of my tips for paying down preorders.

Asciivania, a Metroidvania game review

Asciivania Game Review:

A great Metroidvania style flash game!

 AsciiVania gameplay Screenshot
Asciivania is a clever game done in Ascii graphics where you control an alphabet and you gain power ups such as jump and double jump, for example,as well as finding red Alphabets which will let you morph into those letters to solve word puzzles to get through the level. Using the correct letters you can form words by lining up against letters to clear them and move forward through the game.

AsciiVania gameplay Screenshot  The game is very clever in how it represents a clear throwback to games of old like castlevania and metroid, while using simple characters as levels to present good puzzle and platforming action. You can play this game on sites such as Kongregate.com and other flash gaming sites like that. I recommend you try this game out, especially if you are a fan of Metroidvania style gaming, and it's free to play, so you got nothing to lose!

Minecraft for the Xbox 360 is very much similiar to the PC version of Minecraft with some modifications for the console.
