Space Colony
Ages: Teen

I'm not finished with it yet. Like the Sims there is no ending. I have often wondered why there were no space sims. That way there could be weird buildings, quirky people and a whole set of new problems. Well, Gathering/Take Two have done exactly that. But more than that, they have populated the game with wonderfully complex characters. Each one is a piece of work in itself. The combinations of weirdness and talents are sure to hit the right place in the teenage spectrum.

It is rated for Teens because of the language and sexual themes. But this is the kind of game that you buy and save -- even if your kids are not teenagers yet Good and unusual games don't come along that often. In fact -- why not begin to start a library of good games.
