Animal Jam vs The Endless Forest
Animal Jam
Animal Jam is an amazing browser-based and child-friendly game that is both fun and educational. There is never a dull moment in this game as you can watch animal videos, go on adventures with your friends, play arcade games and discover the beautiful land (and sea) of Jamaa. There are even achievements to see how well-versed you are with the game. This is a brilliantly-designed game that attempts to spread knowledge to the younger generation through a more entertaining way (as compared to the usual books). Kudos to National Geographic Kids for creating Animal Jam!The Endless Forest
The Endless Forest isn't exactly a game but more of a playable screensaver. When your computer goes to sleep, this program will run and your deer character will then appear in a seemingly endless forest. There's no objective or quests for you to complete here. Instead, you are given total freedom to explore the forest and if you're lucky, you may discover something special along the way.However, this is about to change because the developer behind this screensaver program decided to turn it into a full-blown MMO, allowing players from all over the world interact and play together as deers. There's no chat box in the game and instead, you'll need to learn to communicate as deers do, that is through sound and body movement. There will also be more places for you to explore, besides the endless forest, as well as fun and relaxing activities to do.
You can still download the screensaver version of The Endless Forest is you want to get an idea of what the game would be about - It's completely free, after all, but if you want to play the actual game, you might need to wait a bit since the game's still under development.
