Puzzle Pirates vs YoWorld
Puzzle Pirates
Puzzle Pirates is a kid-friendly, MMO adventure-puzzle game where players get to not only play as swashbuckling pirates but also explore a world filled with tons of fun mini-games as they try to build up their own pirate's reputation. The game features plenty of fun avatar customization as well, allowing you to dress your virtual self up whichever way you like.To complement this, the game even has a very robust crafting and trading system in place where you can place your order for a new peg leg (for example) at various shops or you can simply craft one yourself, provided that you have everything you need. You can also sell any extra crafted items you have to other players and set up a small little business for yourself in the game.
Being an MMO, Puzzle Pirates provide players with a ton of cooperative gameplay opportunities. For instance, when you're out at sea, players on the same voyage will need to switch jobs according to the circumstances and need of the crew as a whole. There's also a fun tetris-like game, which simulate swordfights, that you can play alongside your fellow pirates whenever your ship is being boarded by a rival pirate crew.
Although the game hasn't gotten as much attention as say... Pirate 101, Puzzle Pirates is still among the best pirate-themed MMO games out there that is incredibly fun to play and is perfect for the entire family. This game is pretty much timeless!
Most parts of the game are free-to-play, though there are some that will require a subscription.
YoWorld
YoWorld , formerly known as YoVille, was purchased and revived by Big Viking Games after Zynga have deemed the game to be a loss to maintain. This is a move hugely supported by the large player base and it has brought us here today - to YoWorld, the newly reinstated virtual world game "YoVille". Like the old game, YoWorld lets you create your avatar, customize him or her to your liking, and meet and chat with your new friends in the many venues in the game. There are also a ton of fun mini-games for you to enjoy as well as an online casino containing games like Dice Poker, Dominoes and Lucky Wheel for you to potentially double your money.There isn't a lot of improvement done to YoWorld that really sets it apart from YoVille, but whatever's there is enough to keep its existing fans and player base happy, and give these players a place to return to whenever they'd like to chat or simply to satisfy their nostalgia.
