Pet Shop Hop!



New from PlayFirst and Mean Hamster Software - Pet Shop Hop!

You may think you've played all the pet shop games you can stand, but this is by far one of the best I've ever played! Bright, 3d graphics, adorable pets, tons of upgrades and funny characters make this game unique among its peers!

Your job is to help Cassie build her pet store and turn it into a profitable establishment to prevent the unfriendly MegaPeg Superstore from taking over! Earn money by selling a variety of cute animals to needy customers and use your profits to upgrade the store in this new time management game!



Running a pet store isn't all cuddly kittens and adoring doggies. It takes keen business sense, shop upgrades, animal selection, and a lot of stamina to grow your modest pet shop into an exclusive boutique. Take over your family's business and save it from being gobbled up by MegaPet Superstore!


There are two modes of play available, story and challenge and over 50 levels of play. The pets are varied - fish, rabbits, cats, dogs and more! Your very own in-store pet will help you keep those customers happy in line while you tend to the sales. Add fish bowls or cages and other items to increase your sales.

I really enjoyed the preview of this game. Very cute, lots of fun and I can't wait to get back to it!


I give this game an 8 out of 10!

Rainbow Web 2

The sequel to the hit game Rainbow Web is out! This new puzzle game is definitely an improvement over the original with better graphics, mini-puzzles and more challenges!



Rainbow Web 2 is a unique puzzle game in which you have to match colored orbs as they rest upon a variety of spider webs! Mini puzzles in between the levels keep the game flowing nicely - jigsaw puzzles, hidden object games, etc. Scenic background images and a nice musical score also enhance the game. A great improvement over the first Rainbow Web!
