Pet Society vs Talking Ben the Dog
Pet Society
Pet Society is a fun pet-based social game where you not only get to customize your own pet avatar, but also decorate your very own virtual home. The game also encourages you to visit and interact with your friends through the game's many different animations or by simply sending a gift. The most intereting part though is that the game has some really addictive mini-games including a competitive running game where you'll need to make use of speed boosts and avoid obstacles (banana peels); a farm where you can grow massively-sized fruits and veggies, and also use these food items (even cupcakes) to fish for and collect a wide variety of odd-looking fishes.Pet Society was one of the most popular games on Facebook and was played by hundreds of thousands of players from all over the world. However, the game had to be shut down by EA Games (Playfish, the original developer of the game, was acquired by EA) as they have to reallocate their resources elsewhere.

Talking Ben the Dog
Talking Ben the Dog follows the success of Outfit7's other talking pet simulators by present you with a wisen old dog named Ben who happens to be a retired chemistry professor to keep as a pet. Being the old dog that he is, you'll really need to bother him a lot before he will stop whatever he is doing - probably reading the day's newspaper in his favorite armchair - and pay attention to you. You can then talk to him, pester him with pokes, good-humored slaps and tickles, or eve have a phone coversation with him.As he is a chemistry professor, you can have fun doing all sorts of fun and incredible chemistry experiments with Ben if you can get him to his little chem lab. Best yet, you can record your hilarious interactions with him and share them with your friends!
Talking Ben the Dog may not exactly be the usual sort of cute, adorable and possibly hyperactive virtual pet that many games often provide, and it is this stark difference that had helped this game rocket into fame. After all, there isn't a lot of game where you can keep an old virtual pet as opposed to the many that let you keep a young pet.
