Age of Empires II vs Bejeweled Blitz
Age of Empires II
Age of Empires II is, despite being a sequel, a classic real-time strategy game from the crtically-accalaimed game franchise, Age of Empires. The graphics in the game has been reworked to pull it up to level with modern graphics, but the content of the game is essentially the game. Choose one of 18 unique civilizations to play with and dominate the map by eliminating your enemies or by other means, depending on the goals of the match. You can even play the game with other players from all around the world on Steam via the game's multiplayer mode.If you enjoy classic real-time strategy, Age of Empires II is a game you wouldn't want to miss. It may not be the original "first" game, but since the revamped Age of Empires 1 has yet to arrive (1 more month to go), you might as well brush up on your skills by playing the sequel first!
Bejeweled Blitz
Bejeweled Blitz is one of the very first popular match-3 game before all the hoohah with Candy Crush Saga began. Back then, Bejeweled Blitz dominated Facebook's games market and almost everyone was playing it. After all, why not? The game is intense and challenging since you are only given a limited amount of time to match as many 3s as you can and as rapidly as possible just so you can rack up some sweet combos. The game also utilizes Facebook's social feature by pitting your highest score with your fellow Facebook friends, further motivating you to up your game in hopes of overtaking the others in front of you on the leaderboard.In some way, Bejeweled Blitz set the motion for other match-3 games... and eventually Candy Crush Saga... to set up shop on Facebook, providing hours after hours of fun for its competitive players to find creative ways to up their game. Of course, being based on the popular Bejeweled franchise helps a lot as well. So, if you're looking for a time-limited and fast-paced match-3 gameplay, Bejeweled Blitz is a game you should play. The game is no longer on Facebook, but you can still enjoy the game on your mobile devices.
