A great way to spend some time

Visual Utopia is a great game, if it's the type you are interested in. I usually do not like these slow turn based game, but this one adds to the genre something the others do not have: a map! Not only can you build an empire and run or join kingdoms, but you can conquer other cities or entire kingdoms! It usually doesn't take very long to play, either. You can log in for about ten minutes to build new buildings and train some soldiers, or you can stay on for half an hour puzzling over the best way to take over that city down the coast. There's an in-game chat window too, so you can talk to other players while you wait for the next turn to come around. All in all, it is a fun game and I would recommend people to at least give it a shot. The staff is constantly adding to it, so it is probably already better than when I typed this up!
