Urban Dead Review

Horrible me, reviewing a non-horse sim game, but I feel it's too much fun not to mention it. For those of us who absolutely adore zombie movies this is right up your alley. As described by the game itself:
Urban Dead is a free-to-play browser-based multi-player game where you play the survivor or victim of a zombie outbreak in a quarantined city centre, alongside tens of thousands of others.
Play as a survivor or as a zombie, but be careful of ravenous zombie hoards and zombie hunters! This is a complete free-for-all in game play. There is some etiquette to follow as far as where you can kill zombies, etc so be sure to read the Wiki files as it will help you out. In this game zombies can be resurrected to play as survivors and each group has unique abilities you can buy with Experience Points.

I highly recommend this challenging and fun game for those who love zombies and zombie movies!

Stock Horse Corporation Review

From the makers of Hunt and Jump Inc comes the western version! Not only that but it's a more challenging game than the original game as the creator has been keeping out certain features such as the tests for gelding stallions and showing ability so it is up to the users to figure it out for themselves. Very challenging to figure out which horses to keep and which to sell at times.

For the color whores out there (like me *guilty as charged!*) you will love this game as it is fairly easy to procure a nice variety of color genetics in your stock. However getting the colors and the quality in is another matter entirely, but that's the challenge of the game. The available breeds for this game are: Quarter Horse, Paint, Appaloosa, and Pintaloosa (I know I know Pintaloosas are not a breed, it's a fake game get over it.)

The game is free, however there is one up-grade level available for a mere $20.00/year that has an auto-trainer on it as well as the option to change the horse's pictures from the stock logo, the ability to edit your member page, and your weekly paycheck is automatically deposited into your account.

This is not an automated game for beginners, it is a very challenging game, it helps to know genetics, western classes, and unless you up-grade it is vital to get online everyday to train your horses for them to succeed.
