Virtual Villagers is an offbeat sim/tycoon game in which you control a village of castaways on what seems to be a South Pacific island, helping them to build something like an adequate life for themselves. What's unique about it in comparison to other sim/tycoon games is that "time" progresses even when the game isn't running--in other words, if you don't come back to the game for several weeks, you may find that something fairly horrific has happened to your civilization.

God Games Go Casual

You'll find Virtual Villagers 2 on the casual game sites--but don't let that mislead you. This isn't the usual match-three game, but an extremely unusual--and remarkably compelling--game, in which you help an island of primitives survive and thrive. Unusually, the "world" continues when you're not playing--so, Tamagotchi-like, you need to check in every few days to see what's happening and adjust your strategy.

Sex Dolls

Virtually Jenna is, in essence, a virtual doll application. That is to say, it comes with a variety of 3D modelled dolls, and a variety of clothing and accessories you can apply to them--albeit, given the nature of this application, the clothing tends to go in the direction of lingerie, latex, and lace, and the accessories are mainly sex toys of one kind or another. As with other doll applications, there are also a variety of settings in which you can place your dolls; unlike doll applications aimed at the normal consumers of dolls, once you do so, your dolls can engage in a variety of sexual acrobatics with each other.

We asked the developer if this was a game, and he responded, "Sure! You have to make her cum." Well, yes; this does qualify as a "goal" in Costikyan's schema, or as a "quantifiable outcome" in Salen & Zimmerman's, so perhaps one can consider it a game. In some sense.
