Hotel Dash: Suite Success is going to be available for the PC November 24

 

Players helps Flo launch Quinn’s new travel business by running themed hotels, managing the flow of new & familiar guests, and fulfilling their unique needs & requests – in order to earn tips to refurbish hotels.  Starting with a ramshackle DinerTown™ hotel, players jump into a time management puzzle that sends them up and down the elevator, with a goal of keeping things in order to keep customers happy! Tasks include delivering luggage, handing off fresh towels and providing room service, while attending to room mishaps and customer whims.  Players must travel from top floors to the lobby via the hotel elevators, ensuring smooth hotel operations and collecting tips upon checkout. Juggling customer demands with logistics and an ever-ticking clock, players must be strategic in organizing their time versus customers’ patience and personalities.

 

As the game progresses, players can manage customer temperament by delivering mood-brightening extras, like floral arrangement and gift baskets. With their earnings, players can then upgrade the rooms and common areas of the hotel, fully renovating them and expanding Quinn’s new business. As the business succeeds, Quinn and Flo tackle additional hotels, with themes ranging from ski retreat to city getaway, taking on new challenges and challenging new guest types.

Pizza Delivery Boy for the Wii is coming “winter 2010” (which could mean January or December of next year).

 

This unique Wii™ action title lets players use the Wii Remote™ as an all-in-one kitchen utensil and driving wheel to cook and deliver pizzas to hungry customers in three bustling towns. Players must beware, though, as a number of obstacles stand between them and the coveted title of Pizza Boy of the Year!

 

When three brothers mismanage their successful pizza restaurants and the businesses start to falter, the bank manager threatens to shut them down if they don’t return to profitability. It’s up to you, the new hire, to restore the ailing pizza parlors to their past magnificence. But the task won’t be easy.  Players earn money by making and delivering pizzas throughout three busy towns crawling with scoundrels and hazards like hungry dogs and oil slicks. Players can also unlock faster vehicles and earn extra cash on their days off by taking on various side missions, including street racing and cooking competitions. New hires who rake in the dough will rescue the family business and become a local hero!
