My Talking Tom vs Poptropica
My Talking Tom
My Talking Tom is a pretty unique game where you get to adopt your very own virtual tom cat. Of course, you'll start off with a kitten (named Tom) but by taking good care of it and catering to its needs, your kitty will gradually grow into the cat it is meant to be. Being a pet simulation game, you'll not only get to dress up your cat; you can decorate his surroundings as well. You can even send your cat to various locations around the world and take pictures for your scrapbook or play some fun mini-games with him.The best part about this game though is how Tom respond to your actions. You can poke, stroke, tickle or drag him around and he will react accordingly. Like a parrot, you can also talk to him and he'll repeat everything you say back to you. This sort of reactive interaction is practically unheard of prior to My Talking Tom.
Unlike most pet simulations, the "My Talking" game series often have pets that have incredibly realistic emotions and expressions, in addition to being very adorable, making it a perfect game for players of all ages... and yes, this includes toddlers. My Talking Tom is the very first game in the series and is definitely the most established one. So, if you are interested to give the game a try, this game is your best bet.
Poptropica
Poptropica is an amazing child-friendly virtual world game that's filled with a plethora of often-themed locations to explore, new friends to meet, and a ton of fun mini-games to enjoy. In fact, some of these mini-games also have multiplayer mode so you can play against a live player in real-time, as opposed to playing against yourself, constantly trying to increase your high score. You'll even get to customize your avatar in the game by either changing its features or dressing it up in different sets of clothes and accessories (some of which are also themed).Poptropica is a very entertaining game that also provides a safe environment for younger players to meet new people and have some fun. Do check it out if you enjoy playing social virtual worlds.
