Storm8 has announced three new “fremium” MMO games that play off your Android mobile device, using Google’s mobile OS. The MMOs are simple simulation and role-playing games — City Story, Fashion Story and Zoo Story. The games were quietly launched in the past few weeks on Android, but Storm8 is officially announcing them now.

City Story allows you can create a virtual city with all types of businesses, residences, and decor you can purchase and place anywhere you choose. You earn money from factory contracts, cleaning buildings and gifts from your neighbors – who are either AI or real-life Facebook friends. Fashion Story has the player running a clothing boutique, where they choose and stock the very latest fashions and designs, then layout the store and changing rooms before preparing for the shopping rush. Players can visit friends’ boutiques, and “like” items and give gifts. Finally, Zoo Story has players raising animals like snow leopards, tigers, koalas, zebras, crocodiles, ostriches and pandas, breeding and raising baby animals, and building crops to feed said animals.

All of the games are free MMOs, but supported by microtransaction content purchases. Previous “Story” games include Bakery Story and Restaurant Story.

You can download each game free from Android:

* City Story
* Fashion Story
* Zoo Story

The Facebook version of Sid Meier’s famous strategy game, Civilization World, is now in open beta for all who want to check it out. Meier himself worked on the social network-powered Civ title.

Civilization World features you starting your own region, and getting friends to collaborate with you to form a civilization to conquer others. Players co-ordinate in churning out production or culture, while researching technologies and sharing advances. The game stresses co-operation and competition on a few levels.

“Civ World games will have a well-defined beginning and end, each ending with a triumphant civilization and one person recognised as that game’s most prestigious player,” Meier posted on the Facebook page. ”Along the way, as you progress through the different eras of time, you’ll have the chance to win era victories as well. We want players to have both a final goal to work towards, as well as short-term objectives to achieve as they play.”

“The trophies you unlock with your triumphs will carry over from game to game, and you can show them off in your throne room.”

The game is free to play, with some microtransaction monetization, but players can’t buy their way to victory. Check it out here.
