Do you want to be a Rock Star? Then this new game from the makers of Kudos and Democracy is just for you. The game is part RPG, part life-sim, part Tycoon game. You are a struggling rock singer who puts together their own band, and tries to achieve fame and fortune, from humble beginnings as a starving garage-band. Pick your band-members, choose the band name, write the songs, play the gigs, etc.

Rock Legend is a turn-based game. Each turn of the game represents a single day, and it’s up to you to decide how the band spends their time. Some of the activities you will need to spend time on include songwriting, rehearsals, auditions, publicity events, practicing individual instruments, and of course, recording your latest album.

The game has sophisticated AI that controls your band members (you are the singer, they are your backing band) and decides how motivated, energetic and happy they are. If you work the band too hard, arrange poorly-attended gigs, and don’t provide your band with the lifestyle they expect, you will have resignations on your hands. Running a successful band is part financial management, part people-management, and part creative struggle. Would you survive the music business? ]]> Mon, 31 Mar 2008 00:00:00 PST http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/games/role_strategy/biofilm.html Bacteria-based strategy game. About Biofilm

In the game, the player attempts to collect resources for the Medusa Coorporation, an intergalactical syndicate which is colonizing the universe. The hunt for riches is more important than the lives of men - or the aliens inhabiting the exploited worlds. Conflict is inevitable.

The gameplay is centered around collecting money by harvesting resources from mineral rocks and defending your base against endless hordes of aliens. In addition to managing the money that is generated from collecting resources, the base requires energy to run. In “Harvest: Massive Encounter”, managing energy is an essential skill to survive.

The game is very easy to pick up, yet impossible to master. The game’s engine is able to support thousands and thousands of units, guaranteed to run you down in a spectacular display. The full version of the game has five game modes and three planets, and the demo gives a sneak-peek at two of these modes.
