Hotcorn is a cute little flash game where you have to pop a certain number of popcorn seeds before the time runs out. There is a sun that follows the movements of the mouse. Move the mouse towards the pop corn and the heat from the sun pops the popcorn.

There is no issue with popping the alloted seeds in time. As the levels progress, they become more difficult. You are faced with butter that slows you down and water that out right kills you.

If you have a few minutes to spare, check out Hotcorn it is entertaining.

Gameloft and CBS have teamed up to bring the hit TV series CSI to the mobile phone. The first game in the series launches today and it is based on CSI: Miami.

The goal is for the mobile games to resemble the TV shows as much as possible. There will be the same intriguing story lines and investigations that are found in the show. Players will perform an investigation, collect evidence and interrogate suspects.

“A mobile game adaptation of a CSI series is the perfect complement for a franchise with a fan base that watches the show with such a high level of engagement and interest in interactivity,” said Zuiker. “We are thrilled to join forces with Gameloft and are confident in their expertise to capture the essence of CSI and translate it into a quality mobile game.”

Currently, the developers of Flowplay are not sure how they are going to monetize the site, but they are thinking there will be a free play mode and a subscription mode. The subscription mode will get you more stuff in the game than the free mode.

Dr. Daisy is finishing up her college career in veterinarian medicine and just has her residency left to complete before she is able to become a vet. Players help Dr. Daisy get her residency done and become a full fledge vet.

Each level Dr. Daisy has to deal with a different pet ailment. The first level you get a tutorial on what you need to do. Dr. Daisy needs to check the patient in, bring them to the examination table, perform an examination and then get the needed medication for the patients.

The levels progress nicely and they don’t get too hard too fast. You start out examining fairly easy patients then move on to more difficult issues. The more difficult issues take more time to examine and some of them involve getting more equipment like an x-ray machine. The patients have hearts that tell you how happy they are. Their happiness, when their treatment is done, goes into your happiness meter. You need to get your happiness up to the line to complete the level. The patients have varying levels of patience so you want to service the patients short on patience first.

The graphics in Dr. Daisy Pet Vet are cartoonish, but they fit the game. The animals are cartoonish, but are still cute and resemble the real life animal. The rooms that you examine animals in are really tables sitting in the middle of a room with a divider as more tables get added. As you complete more levels you are able to add more items like chairs and different floors.

Dr. Daisy Pet Vet is a time management game dealing with animals instead of people. Dr. Daisy Pet Vet is fun, but if you are tired of time management games this game might not be for you. If you love time management games, you should definitely check this game out. The animals add a bit of a different element to the time management game.
