Resturaunt empire, like most simulation games failed to hold my interest for very long, but that is not unusual since simulations are not where my main interest lies. That said, while I was playing it, this game proved to be both addicting and very fun. The level of micromanagement possible was enjoyable and added overall the game itself was quite engaging. It is certainly worth the asking price even if you, like me, are only going to pop it in every once in a while for a diversion.
I just discovered GOG and decided to d/l this game so that I could see how the website's system worked. I did not quite know what to expect given that it was free. I was pleasently surprised to find Beneath a Steel Sky to be rather entertaining. The storyline is kind of so-so, but the dialogue is very amusing, as is the banter between the main character and his robot Joey. NPCs have interesting responses to situations, as does the main character himself. As a result, the game remains fascinating because you honestly never know who will say what or how NPCs will respond. Beneath a Steel Sky is good for a refreshing laugh if nothing else.
