Having watched The Simpsons as a child, and to now being 24 years of age, this game is an exceptional additional to The Simpsons franchise. Including original characters, and a new storyline, this is an immersive experience for all those that The Simpsons ignites nostalgia.
In an apocalyptic scenario, you are now the 'Sky Finger.' Responsible for restoring the town of Springfield, you will find new characters, unlock additional decorations that you can use to rebuild Springfield, and immerse yourselves within the storylines that are pertinent to each individual character.
Whilst playing The Simpsons - Tapped Out you are also able to add friends! Once you have became friends, you are able to visit eachothers individual Springfields and earn money and 'Friend Points,' all of which help you to unlock additional items.
The inclusion of a negative review aspect which is 'In-Game Purchases,' is to ensure that an honest and unbiased review is provided. To an extent, the promotion of spending money to obtain virtual bonuses is inherent in this game. However, it is not dependent on In-Game Purchases and you are able to fully immerse yourselves within this game without spending money.

MM Near Future Semi-Apocalyptic Urban Fantasy Romance
Kyera (8 KP) rated Frozen (Heart of Dread, #1) in Books

For an established YA writer, this book is surprisingly wrought with errors and would make an English major cringe. It was a poorly written novel with a multitude of punctuation, grammar, and spelling errors. Those completely detracted from the book and made it difficult to read the novel fluidly. There was an overuse of commas, "For days upon days she had been left in the room, alone, in total silence, with little food and water, the weight of solitude becoming ever more oppressive, the silence a heaviness that she could not shake, punishment for refusing to do as she was told, punishment for being what she was." I ran out of breath just reading that incredibly long, run on sentence. It also illustrates another example, the banal repetitiveness. Some examples would be, "She walked down the road, the road that was smooth." Or "The fire that raged within her. The fire that destroyed and consumed. The fire that would destroy and consume her..." How many times does one need to write the fire? Many of the sentences are just reworded versions of the one that came before it. Unnecessarily repetitive and it makes the book sound like a novice writer threw it together in a slap-dash manner with no editor to speak of.
It also cannot decide what genre it wishes to fall under. The magical elements and new species lend itself to a label of fantasy, like books about faeries or nymphs. Paranormal romance perhaps, for the love story that blossoms over the course of the novel? Or the more recently popular zombie novels, with their diseases and alterations of the human dNA, like Forest of Teeth and Bones? Perhaps its a post-apocalyptic or dystopian style novel, akin to Divergent or the Hunger Games - with its frozen world, scarce resources, and tyrannical governments. Whatever it is, the fact that it cannot decide makes the book quite confusing. It does not flow well as a result of the colliding and conflicting worlds. There also is no world-building, which is incredibly important to me in a book. And character building, or even character personalities? Almost non-existent. I would recommend this book to young teen readers, but not anyone who finds themselves frequently noticing errors in novels (even minor ones)as this will drive you crazy. I almost didn't finish the first chapter because the book was so poorly written, but I wanted to see if it would improve.
tapestry100 (306 KP) rated I Hate Fairyland, Vol 2: Fluff My Life in Books
Aug 2, 2017
While Scottie Young's writing is still funny and his art is as madcap as ever (and Jean-Francois Beaulieu's eye-popping colors are eye-popping!), this volume was far more episodic than the previous story arc, with each issue more or less playing out the same scenario each time: Gert finds a "new" way home each issue, which of course turns out not to be a way home and then she fights her way out of the situation in the usual bloodbath, end of issue. The final issue of the collection does offer an interesting post-apocalyptic view of Fairyland, but it's actually not made clear whether the series is continuing after this volume (which there will be after a short break until the monthly series picks back up again in March), so the casual reader may be confused about whether this is actually the close of the series.
I'll be picking up the next collection of the series for sure, regardless of the slight disappointment that came with this issue, because I Hate Fairyland is still one of the most original comics that I've read in a long time.
