There are many Sim games out there for the iPad. But how many of them let you make movies like Uncle Buck, Biloxi Blues, Despicable Me, or the big Lebowski?

The game Universal Movie Tycoon lets you build a studio to create the movie of your dreams.You start with an empty lot, in which you build sets upon. The first set will let you make the first movie, which is Uncle Buck. Choose the director and actor, then you are off and running.

As you continue, you build more sets, movie prop houses, makeup trailers, and more. You expand the set, then add roads and greenery. As each movie is complete, you get rewarded with cash. Use the “Movie Magic” to move your creations along, and level up.

Just like most other sim games, you can purchase in-store credit for more movie magic or other items. Collect from each building at the end of the day to get more money to make more movies. You can also choose to purchase and watch the movies before you make them.

Universal Movie Tycoon is free, and has a 3 1/2 star rating
