Carcassonne vs Empire Earth 3
Carcassonne
Carcassonne is the digitized version of the popular empire-building physical board game of the same name. This digital game stays true to the fun and strategic gameplay that had made the game famous. Furthermore, this game features a single player mode where you can play with challenging AIs and also a multiplayer mode (of up to 6 players) where you can pit your skills against other players worldwide. So, even if you don’t like playing competitively, the game’s multiple AIs are challenging enough to keep you engaged for hours on end.Carcassonne- Tiles & Tactics is not only a well-designed digital version of its renowned counterpart, but the game also contains the same familiar and yet strategic gameplay that will truly put your skills to the test. So, although you may have not played this game before, but you have a penchant for strategy games, you might still have to give this game a try. It’s not exactly a very costly game either, and considering the hours of fun you can eek out of it, it is worth every cent you spend.
If you’re interested, you can purchase Carcassonne on Steam for the low price of $9.99; or on Google Play for around $2.50.
Empire Earth 3
Empire Earth 3 is unfortunately the final stopper to what had been a pretty solid real-time strategy game. What happened? Well, the game seemed to have went on a completely wrong route and ended up stripping itself of all the best parts in an attempt to borrow from other game franchises. Not to mention, their implementation, be it borrowed ideas or pretty good ideas of their own, is simply horrendous. However, all of these might not be apparent to players who have not played any of the Empire Earth games before so if you've seen good reviews of the game... well, this is probably the reason behind it.Empire Earth 3 has hammered in the final nail in the franchise's coffin and it's truly a pity. The series itself has plenty of potential and could have been as great as some of the classic real-time strategy games that are still very well-known today, but due to whatever reason, things happened, a poor game was rolled out, and everything just fell apart. Empire Earth 3 may not be worth buying for fans of the previous two Empire Earth games, but if you're a collector or if you're new to the series, you might still want to give it a try.
