Here is a casual game site that has a great motto. Giveaway of the day does just that. They giveaway a game a day. It’s simple. Download and install.

Apparently the game is free for the first 24 hours, so get ready to play when you install. Your time begins from the installation of the game and not when you download it. For us casual gamers, a day of playing a game is long enough to play it for a while and grow tired of it.

Users can give a game a thumbs up or down, so you can at a glimpse get an idea if a game is really worth downloading at all.

I received The Sims 2 Open for Business for Valentine’s Day. It’s the perfect gift as I’m a huge Sims fan and am so behind on expanions for The Sims 2.

Open for Business is one expansion that I really wanted as it is different than what was offered for the original Sims. I still want Pets, but I have played Unleashed so am not that excited by it.

Hopefully I can fight off this cold long enough to install the game and play some.

Days of our Lives is my favorite soap opera, and I try to watch it everyday. A lot of times I don’t make it through a whole episode, or I get frustrated by their lack of story progression. One these days I turn to the web and the Days of our Lives spoilers page.

Some plots I really wonder what was the whole purpose. After reading the spoilers and learning that Max really does have feelings for Abby, why has he been going after every girl in Salem but her? Apparently there is an age difference between them that has kept Max at bay. Age is hardly ever mentioned in the soaps. It’s like age being mentioned in comic books, it just doesn’t happen. It’ll be interesting to see if this is Days’ next super couple like Bo and Hope or Jack and Jennifer.

Soaps.com has the scoop on DOOL and all the information I need to buy back my sanity from watching this show. It’s easy to get frustrated with the characters. Thank goodness for spoilers to keep my peace of mind.

I’ve been hearing a lot about the online social game Second Life. I’ve signed up for an account, have downloaded the game but haven’t played yet.

Being a big Sims fan, Second Life reminds me of The Sims since it’s more social gaming than strategy. You earn in-game money that you can spend to buy real estate and other stuff. Apparently playing Second Life can be addicting. I hope to play this week. That will greatly depend upon if I feel any better. Winter colds really do bite.
