Happy Friday! I hope you like this week’s selection by Mac Games and More of fun casual games you can play into the weekend. The games include a “crime of fashion” murder mystery game, a mystical adventure using your own magical powers, a tour of the president’s house and more.
 Virtual Villagers 4 The Tree of Life – The highly anticipated 4th edition of Virtual Villagers is finally here, and we’re incredibly happy about it! If you’re familiar with the Virtual Villagers real-time strategy sim game series, you’ll see that there are many new features in Virtual Villagers 4, not just the same story and game play shuffled around. The story takes place on the eastern shore of Isola and centers on a dying Banyan tree. First, select a tribe – for example, a group of children or nursing mothers or a variety of tribes people with a mix of skills (which determines your difficulty level), each group having its own set of strengths and weaknesses. Work on your tribe and get it to thrive and populate the island, find collectibles and uncover fantastic mysteries – then you can pursue the many hidden puzzles scattered around the island, and as you solve them the tree will begin to heal. If your tribe succeeds, and the Tree of Life regains its original power, you will then find out the secrets of the magical island of Isola. Remember that this Mac game is in real time, so your tribe will age and events still take place when your Mac is turned off!
