Is the girl on the left in the banner related to Michael Jackson in any way? I can’t imagine anyone wanting to be her/with her wouldn’t be pretty impervious to disappointment already, or they’re of the type who get off on choosing the disappointing option.

I would have to wonder about the quality of the game when the trailer they produced has “business” misspelled in the opening scene. I understand typos happening, but surely this was worked on/looked at by more than one person.

stupid misuse of what could have been a hit game with girls! A Virtual dressing up/making up thing would attract lots of female customers.

For some reason, I really want to play this. Really I do.

about the ads on the site: I dont know who you buy them to, but you might want to reconsider: the one I see are more often than not quite unlikely to interest gamers (if anyone)(things like ‘green card’ things, ‘1000000th visitor this is not a joke’ or ’send your photo to Voici ‘-a french crap tabloid-), and closer to outright spam.

Ads are bad (if a necessity), but would be slightly less bad if on a game site they could be about, like, games. (or interpretive dance maybe, but definitely not about supporting a collapsing US economy dragging the whole world with it after having polluting it with its ultra-liberalism propaganda for years. But I digress…)

cliffski says:
The thing that amazes me about management games like this is why they bother with an isometric world at all?
Surely people can see that running a business is basically a matter of charts and graphs and statistics, with some agonizing choices thrown in. The heads of companies don’t stare at factory floors thinking “Those new machines would look cool, lets put some over there!”

While the sentiment is probably correct as far as game design goes, I really wouldn’t know, most factory managers I’ve encountered (particularly older guys in large old firms) do absolutely love rearranging stuff, getting new toys, playing around with their own personal dolls house/ant farm and watching it work.

I was going to do a rant about the name ‘beauty factory’ and its implications, but I’ve been beaten to it. Damn.
What does that leave me with? Not much. Just praising the alt-text, and pointing out that you can have it appear on mouseover with title=”" so I don’t have to keep right-clicking on things. Grr.

Why throw in an isometric view? Simple really: I’d rather play with Theme Hospital than Microsoft Excel.
