Meez vs Puzzle Pirates
Meez
Meez is a 3D virtual world game that you can play for free on your browser. Like most social virtual world games, you'll get to create and eventually custolmize your own avatar before diving into the beautiful world of Meez. The land of Meez is separated into "hoods" and each "hood" has its own theme. For instance, if you go into the "Gym" hood, you can let your avatar have some fun exercising or generally, playing with the many exerise equipment there. You'll even get your own hood to decorate and invite friends to. The game also has many nice sound tracks courtesy of Soundcloud that you can listen to as you play.Chatting is quite unique in this game as well. Most of the time, you'll be typing out the stuff you want to say, but certain words will trigger certain animation, for example, typing "lol" will make your character double over in laughter. Of course, meeting and making new friends is the entire premise of the game, so feel free to express yourself but keep in mind that politeness is still a virtue in an online virtual world since you'll still be chatting with actual human beings on the other side of the screen.
Meez is an amazing social virtual world that many has found incredibly entertaining. If you're interested, be sure to check it out.
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.
