Avakin Life vs DragonVale
Avakin Life
Avakin Life is a fun and popular social virtual world game that you can play directly on your mobile devices. It may not be as rich in features as other PC-based virtual world games, but it has everything you'd expect from a game that can be grouped with the likes of Second Life and IMVU in the same genre. You can customize your avatar's look and accessories whenever you like with clothes, and animations. You can even bring along a Petkin!Complete quests and actions to earn coins which you can then splurge on apartment decor aside from more clothes. You can purchase and stream the music you like from Shoutcast as well. Visit the many different bars and hangouts the game has to offer, and have fun interacting and meeting with new people from all around the world. Of course, we hardly even need to point out that the game's gorgeous graphics.
Honestly, in many ways, Avakin Life feels like the mobile version of Second Life albeit without all the in-depth world-creating aspect. If you like the idea of playing a more social game, then Avakin Life is for you!
DragonVale
DragonVale is a fun fantasy-themed simulation game that allows you to build your very own dragon park. Aside from the building aspect, the game is quite similar to most pet collection games since you'll be able to breed and hatch over 250 different types of dragons. You'll also have a Dragonarium (it's something like a PokeDex) to help you keep track of your collection.Interestingly, the dragons in this game is not just for show either. You can grow your dragons and enter them in fun races, quests and various competitions to win fantastic prizes. The game is even a rather social one because you can not only visit your friends' parks, give each other gifts but also set up both of your dragons for some cooperative breeding.
If you enjoy pet collection games that are a bit more casual, then you'll love DragonVale. The game is available on both Android and iOS devices.
