I don’t know about people in other parts of the US, but Chicago’s already seen quite a few days in the upper 80s. It looks like a blazing summer is coming, which makes a game like Venture Arctic all the more welcome. Brighter Minds Media, who brought us Pocketwatch Games’ Venture Africa, is now bringing us Pocketwatch’s next game, Venture Arctic.
Players of Venture Arctic get to create an arctic, Alaskan tundra ecosystem populated with 22 species of animals. They will also have to carefully protect their tundras, determining the amounts of snow and ice, the condition of the areas and the health of their creatures.
The Windows version of Venture Arctic will be available online and in stores for $29.95 before the end of July 2008. It comes with a 48 hour guarantee that if you don’t enjoy it, you can get your money back. A Mac version is also in the works. A free, 22mb Windows demo of the game is available through the official Venture Arctic site.

Sounds like Zoo Tycoon, only more interactive, less animals…and colder.
Basically, yeah. Same thing, fewer animals and more educational material.
Plus I think the Zoo Tycoon games may be a bit more fun.
