We thought it would be fun to review some of the casual games we currently have available in our JA Casual Game Center. Needless to say, these games are very addictive and while our enthusiastic reviews are, for the most part short, the time spent playing these games is not. Once you have read the review, drop by the JA Casual Game Center and download a free trial version of the game for yourself, but remember - you have been warned!

I have no green thumb at all -- I can walk into a nursery and plants start to wilt. So I was thrilled to find Alice Greenfingers, a most enjoyable game where everything thrives.

Players experience 30 days in the life of Alice as she raises crops and sells them at market. She also raises chickens, cows and sheep, and sells eggs, milk and wool.

Within a general framework, the garden's structure and contents are up to players. I particularly enjoyed the chickens, who mill around, cluck, and make typical disturbed chicken noises when Alice charges past them on her way to harvest something.

Gameplay in Greenfingers is unusual in that there are no goals to achieve before one can advance. Instead of having levels, the entire game is continuous with each day's achievements carrying over to the next.

Players' progress is tracked, and reentering the game returns them to the precise point at which they stopped playing. Folks can therefore play as much or as little as they like without losing anything.

With its colorful graphics, pleasant music and interesting sound effects, I found Greenfingers to be quite relaxing. Entering the world of Alice offered a most welcome respite from the cares of the day. So much so that I found the game's journey more rewarding than its final destination.
