Empire Earth 3 vs Free Realms
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.
Free Realms
Free Realms is a child-friendly 3D virtual world game by Sony Entertainment where you can meet and chat with new friends, explore the beautiful world and possibly discover hidden secrets, as well as enjoy a mini-game or two competitively with other players in the game and climb up the leaderboard with your best high score. You are even given a virtual home in this game that you can then customize and organize a party in.Unfortunately, Free Realms is currently available on the Playstation platform, and although there is an unofficial PC reboot coming soon, it's still in its alpha phase and may take a while to finally be launched to the public.
