Super Smash Bros vs Terraria
Super Smash Bros
Super Smash Bros is the latest installment of the Super Smash Bros series where Nintendo simply mashes up every character they have ever created into a single and pretty much arena-like game. The range of characters you'll have access to is simply incredible since you'll be able to spot some really iconic faces (Link, Mario or Pikachu, for example) along with some more recent and hence, still-obscure ones like Palutena and Little Mac.The gameplay feels a lot like a standard Street Fighter game with the exception that the chraracters are more varied and thus, the abilities you'll have access to will obviously be similarly so as well. However, combos ruled in these games and you'll need to be mindful of this when you are customizing move sets for your characters. Best yet, you can battle with up to 4 of your friends locally or via online, or even create new battlefields (a.k.a. stages) to play in.
Super Smash Bros have always been the perfect melting pot of a game for all the unique characters in the Nintendo many and widely varied universes. If fighting games are your thing, you simply mustn't miss out this amazing game.
Terraria
Terraria is one of the biggest breakout indie game of 2011 and, like Minecraft, is still incredibly popular until today. However, despite the many similarities between Terraria and Minecraft which is mainly because they are both sandbox games, Terraria is a definitely much more fleshed out version of Minecraft without all the 3D voxels but with 2D pixels instead. The great thing about Terraria though is that it has more of everything that Minecraft has - more recipes, more enemies, more pets, more bosses... well, like we said, more everything. The depth in Terraria is simply astounding!Combat also feels action-packed in spite of being 2D and interestingly, the game provides an immersive storyline that you can follow... again, unlike in Minecraft where you literally have to create your own story if you want all of that. The game is cross-platform game and supports multiplayer as well.
In short though, we'd say that Terraria is more suited to adventure-based RPG gameplay rather than Minecraft but unfortunately, not everyone likes its 2D looks. So, if you're a fan of Minecraft and you don't really mind 2D games, you should definitely check out Terraria. You'll be blown away by the overwhelming size of the content!
