Pet Society vs Rune Factory: Frontier
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.

Rune Factory: Frontier
Rune Factory: Frontier sends you to the frontier town of Trampoli where you are expected to set up your very own virtual farm. Desiogned for the Wii console, you can literally do everything in the game simply by using your Wii remote and nunchuk (classic controllers are compatible as well), be it tilling the land, fighting monsters or fishing. The game has a much improved interaction system where your interactions and relationships, including romantic ones, feel a lot more life-like than usual, adding the rare EQ element to the gameplay.Unlike the previous games, you don't need to recruit monsters or townsfolk to maintain your farm for you. Due to the game's dynamic ecosystem, symbiotic creatures called Runeys will help hasten the growth time and quality of the plants you produce. And of course, there are plenty of dungeons for you to dive into, monsters to fight, and rare items to loot.
Rune Factory: Frontier is a pretty entertaining game overall, especially if you've enjoyed any of their previous or later games, and is definitely worth your time and money.
