<description><![CDATA[I was not meaning to sound like it was shouting, and no way was i intending to be rude but i have ask this question time after time and have never got a response, so thank you for that info i will now check of a weekend, as now i have worked out why i always miss out on new games, Maybe the site needs to change there name or put a note up the top saying they only give them away of a week end cause i did not know and i am pretty sure a lot of other people did not know, did you send a copy of this to my email if so i did not get one, so thanks again now i know what is going on !!!

Hi Sue, thank you for your response, it was much appreciated.   It's been suggested many times by others that the name should change.  The trouble with that is   the game giveawayoftheday   title has become  a well known title with the major search engines.  It's well respected and has a high profile.  If they changed their name they may lose  much of that.  Also, they do eventually  hope to return to true daily giveaways.

By the way, I wasn't trying to be sarcastic or negative in my reply to you.  I was just pointing out  forum/comment/blog   etiquette. I'm  surprised you've never had a reply before as I usually   answer such queries.  I do miss the odd one, but if you've asked several times, I don't understand why I've not replied? Unusual to say the least.

<description><![CDATA[SO IT IS A NEW DAY ARE WE GOING TO GET A NEW GAME ???????


........................Moderator comment.........................

Hi Sue, no, only games at the weekend  for now.  When the  recession hit  back in 2008, the game giveawayoftheday went to weekends only, it was said that it would only be temporary, but to be hgonest the game scene has changed drastically since then.  Arcade games used to cost  nearly $20   each, now you can get   them dirt cheap and even free  from several sites aropund the net.  AAA games used to hold their price fopr at least a year, now you can get discounts only weeks after release for most games for example, I got the latest  Medal of Honor Warfighter game for half price only two weeks after release and recently got   a still unreleased AAA game  (Gost Sniper 2)  with 66% off.

The giveaway team have   not been able to secure   enough f=games to give them away every day, so, until the economic climate improves drastically   the games will only come at weekends.  We are really lucky that Playrix and Alawar   are still giving games away.

b.t.w. Sue, its considered shouting and a little rude   to use capitals when posting in forums and  comments sections like these.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Nice TM game with some unique features.  Instructions could be more explicit, e.g., definition of a "chain."  (or rather, clarifying what constitutes an "action").  Also there are some details that need attending to, such as (1) when customers are waiting on the doormat, you should be able to see their number of hearts, so you know which one to serve first, and (2) when you use the ad flyer, the dialog in which you choose a service to render to the customer covers up the machines, so you can't see which services are busy and which are free.
This kind of thing makes me wonder -- don't the developers actually PLAY these games before they release them?  Or better yet, don't they WATCH a new person play for awhile?

<description><![CDATA[I tried to download and install this game 4 times.  Each time after a 2 hour download (I have a slow internet connection.), I unzipped an empty folder!  This is outrageous!  I never had this problem before, so what gives????

.....................Moderator comment.......................

It's more likely to be a problem with your connection or computer than a problem  with the giveaway servers.  There has been several thousand downloads with no one else reporting this problem.

Did you read the FAQ's section that i link to in my review.  sometimes  using a diffewrent  archiver  such as 7 Zip or J Zip     can solve the problem.  

Also    try using a download manager.  The problem with slow connections,   sometimes  a faulty line    can casue   downloads to   dump/crash, so you lose all of the data.  It may be that  the connection was  faulty? 

(just trying to make suggestions)

You can get   today's game giveaway  free from MyPlayCity; do rememeber to uncheck the check boxes  when installing and booting up the game if you decide to   download the MPC version.]]></description>

I'm off to bed.  I'll endevour to  moderate  first thing in the morning.  I should be up around an hour to 20 mins before the end of the  giveaway, so, if you do have serious problems getting the game to work, check back   about 10 minutes before the end.  so long as you have the file downloaded you can sometimes still  activate a game  for an hour or so after the giveaway is finished.  But you can't download once the   giveaway is over.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I just can't get any game to work any more with the new wrapper.  I close down my AV every time before downloading, and they still don't launch. This one has a screen that says "pet show craze.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close", etc. It's showing the files and game icon where it should be in the "games" folder, along with other GAOTD games that can't be launched. 

The messages are different with some games, or the game has a flash of starting and then just closes down.  :-(


.........................Moderator Comment.............................

Hello MeadowLark,  Check your event logs after trying to install.  Hopefully  you'll get   messages that can be interpreted and hopefully a solution  found.  Check google if you're not sure how to checvk your event logs.  also make a note of all messages you get.  I'd post this problem over in the  forums as  you're more likely to get help.  

Have you checked the  FAQ's section in the Game discussion sticky section?  you may find a solution there.

Make sure all your drivers are up to date and ensure  the security ids properly  shut off via Task Manager.  Also you could   check to see if  another program is  conflicting with giveaways by  turning off individual programs that are   running in the back ground.  An easy way to do this   is to run a copy of Game Booster.  you can still find free copies online.  Game booster basically turns off all unecessary background programs  that windows  runs plus you can  configure it to shut off other programs.  Once you've played your game   a click of a button turns everything back on.  (The latest versions of Game booster   aitomatically shut background programs down when you start a game and  then turn them back on automatically.  :)

I hope  one of the above helps.  If not, don't despair, we will get to the bottom of this, even if it takes  weeks or months.  Please post in the forums.  If you don't have a profile you'll need to set one up to post in the forums, but its worth it.  :)]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Thank you, the game installed &amp; works fine for me, this is the type of game I'm used to, time management games are my favourite. I've only done 14 levels in the first store &amp; my critisms so far are: 1. The level stops once you've reached the goals &amp; doesn't allow us to finish serving all the customers who are still in the shop (to make more money). 2. The workers are too slow 3. The machines break down too frequently. I haven't got to the next shop yet but if the previous upgrades are not present in the new shop (as mentioned) then that's also a criticism. However I like the game. Thanks.

Jay said: "I know females would love this game". Yes I'm female &amp; I love it.


........................Moderator comment........................

nice one Tal, thanks for the feedback.  I agree about the level ending once you attain the goals.  you should be able to continue until all customers are served.]]></description>

GOTD team really Censors posts and comments ... they only allow what makes them look good!

Hi Moonbeam aka G aka Jack aka Foro  ;)  I let virtually all comments through.  It's very rare that I have to delete a post and then it's usually because of the swearing and other inappropriate content like  links to sex sites etc.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I'm a bit annoyed about how many people appeared to have given a thumbs down just because they don't like Time Management games - I remember trying the demo of this once and its a reasonable TM game but there were better games to spend my money on at the time.  As for the storyline, oh please, 95% of TM games have no storyline to speak of or really twee ones - its the gameplay us TM fans go for not the storyline, it ain't Skyrim!  Thanks to GGotD and Alawar for the giveaway, I'm grateful for it even if others aren't as I just lost all my free games a few weeks ago when I had to reinstall Windows ;o)


.......................Moderator Comment...........................

The thumbs up/thumbs down rarely  reflect the comments section; as you say, they see a TM game and immediately vote it down.  I'm not a great lover  of TM games, but I can appreciate the  work that has gone into these games.  

I have around 20 - 30 TM games, many of which I got for free for   beta testing, but I have also purchased quite a few over the   years;  (my favorites are the farm related and gardening ones)]]></description>

<description><![CDATA["So imagine Masha’s surprise when a greedy industrialist starts snapping up all the land in Petsville in order to build a factory that produces plastic animals. Without a moment’s hesitation, she makes a beeline for the town to show how pet care can rake in more money than selling fake cats and dogs."

Really? Why do you have to have a scenario of fighting the "greedy industrialist". Why not just have Masha be an entrepreneur starting her own chain of businesses? (They made the guy an entrepreneur working his way up in Gourmania, for example.) I'm a (somewhat older) girl who is a gamer; I find the scenario a turn off.]]></description>
