They are a very cute

Ever since the rise of titles such as Farmville, the app space has been dominated by similar social “simulation” games. These task players with building cities or other structures, tending to them and reaping rewards that can be used to customize or beautify them. But while there are tons of these games in the iTunes App Store with more being added every day, the question remains: Are any of them worth a damn?

The short answer is: mostly, no. But every once in a while, a titles comes along that takes this formula and spins it just enough to make it fun – at least for a bit.

The most recent comes from Electronic Arts: The Simpsons: Tapped Out. Licensing the popular cartoon show franchise, EA tasks players with rebuilding the iconic Springfield from the ground up, replacing buildings one at a time in their own little version of the town. As time goes on, you’ll expand Springfield by purchasing new land, earning new structures, finding new residents – and waiting. The primary portion of the game is built on sending people to accomplish tasks and waiting seconds, minutes or hours for them to be completed. The hope from the developers’ standpoint is that you’ll get bored waiting and pay for “donuts, ” which allow you to speed things up.

Like most of these games, The Simpsons: Tapped Out can lack engagement. Games in this genre feel like they’re geared specifically toward getting you interested in playing, then taking the fun away unless you’re willing to pay. And sure, developers are hoping to make money – that’s the point – but by and large, games like this aren’t fun enough to warrant paying for them.
