realMyst vs Word Connect
realMyst
realMyst is, despite the similarity of the name, not simply a remake of the original game so that the younger generation and experience the game themselves; it provides a whole new trove of content that is not present in the older version, including a new Rime Age, optional free roam and zip navigation modes, bookmarking your progress, auto-save option and built-in interactive guides to help you along if you get stumped. Aside from the improved musical scores, the graphics in the game has also been updated to match with the times, with not only a day and night cycle (you'll get a flashlight for navigating at night) and weather patterns, but also advanced, dynamic and incredibly realistic effects.If you truly want to try out Myst, this is without a doubt the version that you should get. It's just so much better than the original in so many ways and most importantly, it lives up to the original's legacy.
Word Connect
Word Connect follows in the successful word puzzle game formula used by many other games like Word Cookies and even Wordscapes... though, it's a lot more similar to Word Cookies than Wordscapes per se. The gameplay is incredibly fun and addictive and the controls are easy to learn as well - how hard can it be to swipe letters to form words, right? The game also boasts of having over 2500 levels - more to come! - and there's an exciting new daily challenge for you every day you log in. Hit a snag in the game? You can use hints or you can share the puzzle with your family and friends on Facebook and ask for help. Any extra and valid words you find will be rewarded as well!The game is not at all competitive so you can take your time looking for the words needed to complete a level. Best yet, the game is powered by the Oxford Dictionary so you can be sure that the English words you know, even including many others that you might not, will definitely be in the game.
Word Connect may not be innovative in any sense since it's basically a clone of Word Cookies, but if you're looking for the closest alternative to a game like Word Cookies, you may find this game a suitable choice. The game is both phone- and tablet-friendly and is available on iOS and Android.
