Meez vs Virtual Families
Meez
Meez is a 3D virtual world game that you can play for free on your browser. Like most social virtual world games, you'll get to create and eventually custolmize your own avatar before diving into the beautiful world of Meez. The land of Meez is separated into "hoods" and each "hood" has its own theme. For instance, if you go into the "Gym" hood, you can let your avatar have some fun exercising or generally, playing with the many exerise equipment there. You'll even get your own hood to decorate and invite friends to. The game also has many nice sound tracks courtesy of Soundcloud that you can listen to as you play.Chatting is quite unique in this game as well. Most of the time, you'll be typing out the stuff you want to say, but certain words will trigger certain animation, for example, typing "lol" will make your character double over in laughter. Of course, meeting and making new friends is the entire premise of the game, so feel free to express yourself but keep in mind that politeness is still a virtue in an online virtual world since you'll still be chatting with actual human beings on the other side of the screen.
Meez is an amazing social virtual world that many has found incredibly entertaining. If you're interested, be sure to check it out.
Virtual Families
Virtual Families is a fun family simulation game where you'll be in charge of taking care of a virtual family. Somewhat similar to The Sims albeit in a much smaller scale, you'll get to adopt a virtual person of your choice and encourage him or her to do what young adult humans do - find a stable career, meet a suitable partner and settle down to start a family. Instead of ordering your sim around though, you'll encourage certain behavior by praising and discourage others by scolding. In some way, you can say that you can actually shape the personality of your little virtual person.Aside from the sim, you'll also get to improve the newly-wed's home. There are even multiple hidden puzzles all over the place for you to find and solve. Sometimes, when you least expect it, an event will pop up threatening to turn the amazing virtual life you've built for your sim completely upside down! All of these provide some respite from the usual daily routine of your sims as they go about their day.
Virtual Families is an incredibly fun game especially for fans of life simulation games like The Sims. If you got the chance, you should really check this game out! The demo is free to play, but for the full experience, you'll need to buy the game.
