Well this week we had to demo our alpha version of our game, and hence there were alot of late nights (5am anybody?) and very little gaming.
Now Im taking a stab in the dark here and saying I only played about 30 minutes this week, that been Unreal Tournament 3. I can't remember playing any other game...
God I'm tired :(

Miss Bimbo
So this week we were to play a game aimed at females, so I picked Miss Bimbo to play. Let's get straight into the game.
So is Miss Bimbo enjoyable? i didn't find it enjoyable at all, but then again im not the games target audience. Basically it's the same as any virtual pet game out there. You have to feed and cloth your bimbo, get a job, boyfiend, apartment, buy clothes, new hairstyles, go to the gym... Nothing new or exciting to be honest.
There is little to no concentration to this game. Everything changes slowly over time so you don't need to be alert to anything in the game really.
The game is aimed at girls, aged around 9 - 16 years old.
The game isn't very immersive and is quite hard to become interested in the game. But then again, this game isn't aimed at me, so im not the best person to be judging it.
Little to no skill is involved. You click buttons, follow simple goals, keep your bimbo alive by feeding her. All very simple.
The only narrative in the game are your bimbo's goals. They pretty much tell you what to do.
I didn't see any function to talk to other people playing the game, though I did see an inbox, so I assume it is possible to talk to other Miss Bimbo players.
By the way I have no sisters so I can't answer the other questions.

Casual Game - Jewel Quest
Jewel Quest is a puzzle game where you have to line up 3 or more items that are the same. The lines can be formed in any direction besides diagonal directions. You can only move an item one space at a time, to the left, right, up or down, but no diagonal movements. When you move an item, it is swapped with another item occupying the space where you are moving it to. Also, an item can only be moved if the move will form a line of 3 items of the same kind.
And that is the whole game. The aim is to get line 3 or more items of the same type on every square of the grid. The items are always replaced, so you can never actually finish the game within the time limit.
I found this game very enjoyable to actually. It's simple but effective and fun and I can people playing this game for hours on end.
There isn't a huge amount of concentration required. All the player has to do is look out for potential lines of 3 or more of the items. The time limit seems to be about 2 minutes (it doesn't actually tell you), so you never feel rushed either.
The game can be immersive, has you try to get as many points as possible.
No skill is really required, only the ability to see the items and count to 3 really.
The game has no narrative and is single player only so has no social interaction involved either.
