AviNation

AviNation is an airport-management social game slated to hit Facebook in June. The new title allows you to manage the aviation empire of your own dream. This mainly revolves around creating and running your own airport, sending passengers to various destinations all over the world, controlling air traffic by directing planes in and out of runways, buying new aircrafts, as well as upgrading workshops and terminals. Identical to social simulators such as Skyrama, Aviator, and Airport City, Avination features a plot-driven storyline and pits players into the shoes of the manager dedicating their career to the airport during the lifetime, which covers a very long time span from 1930’s to the present day.

Many gamers have complained about the lack of quality in social games, while AviNation is an exception. The game has rich 3D graphics and is based on Unity 3D engine, giving it the absolute advantage over Facebook simulators in graphics quality. The 3D cartoon-style scenes can change between realistic daytime and nightfall, characters and environmental objects are vividly detailed. With a collection of more than 250 authentic historical and modern planes, AviNation promises a highly-customizable in-depth gameplay.

Speaking of social aspects, players can manage a network of worldwide airports to boost their passenger traffic or cargo freight. If they do the right jobs, the population of their city will grow, resulting in many more sales. Peer-to-peer interaction can happen even if friends aren’t currently playing. Players can also visit friends’ airports to help out or trade goods and joining corps cooperatively or competitively.
