Fairway Solitaire vs Words with Friends
Fairway Solitaire
Fairway Solitaire is a fun solitaire game with a rather unique golfing theme by Big Fish Games. Just like golf, each round of the game are played by Holes, and a series of Holes make up a Course. You're also scored by Par (below, above or even). To win each course, you must achieve a score of even or below Par. The gameplay, on the other hand, is similar to your standard solitaire game where you'll need to match cards up in numerical (either in increasing or decreasing) order. There are also plenty of boosters to buy and use and challenging obstacles that will, more often than not, stump you.In a world full of run-of-the-mill solitaire titles, Fairway Solitaire manages to stand out on its own simply by having a very different theme and level progression. With its gorgeous graphics, fun characters and various game modes, this is a game that will definitely appeal to fans of the genre.
Words with Friends
Words with Friends is one of the most popular words games on the mobile platform for several years running. Developed and published by Zynga, the game was eventually ported over to the PCs through the social network, Facebook. In terms of gameplay, Words with Friends has similar mechanics with the timeless classic board game, Scrabble, but with some interesting twists that had made the game a lot more fun and entertaining. For instance, the placement of the bonus tiles in this game is quite different from a traditional Scrabble board, and of course, the board size a much larger in the former as well.Another interesting aspect that made Words with Friends more approachable especially to newcomers is that players aren't penalized for putting in incorrect words that were challenged by your opponent. The dictionary used in Words with Friends, however, is a lot more lenient and accepts quite a number of "new-gen words". It also offers leaderboards to keep track on the scores and real time matches against friends or other players online.
Words with Friends may now face a lot of competition from similar word games nowadays, but back when it was first released, the game was HUGE! The game is still fun today and with the exciting updates that Zynga releases from time to time, the game will be kept going for years to come.
