So … this is not going to be about standard gaming news. I have recently gotten into PC games – not WoW or things like that, but the kinds of games you can find on places like BigFish and iWin. Two titles stand out, each of them with two games in their series’.
First up is Jojo’s Fashion Show, parts 1 and 2. This is known as a time management game. I played the first one for hours upon hours. Basically, you get to go through a succession of fashion shows, wherein you match clothing to the style of each model. It begins with Bollywood and Sockhop styles; in later levels you get to deal with everything from Disco, Bridal, Goth, and even Flamenco Punk.
In part 2, all the antes are upped. There are few repeat fashions, so you get to deal with a whole new world of styles and awesome clothing. Furthermore, you get to dress male models as well, and participate in photo shoots.
Part 1 features Jojo and her daughter Ros. Jojo is returning to the fashion world years after her assistant and protégé, the game’s villain, stole her designs. With her daughter’s edgy sense of fashion and well timed help, naturally she rises to the top again. Part 2 features new characters and a new storyline: this time Jojo and Ros are teamed up, forming Las Cruces. But will Ros’s trendy style be able to mesh with Jojo’s classic elegance?
Stay tuned next week when we take a look at Home Sweet Home – and then, I promise, we’ll get back to some gory games!
