Sorority Life vs Stardew Valley
Sorority Life
Sorority Life , developed by Playdom, is a 2D fashion-themed life simulation game that is a tad bit text-and-graphics-based rather than being an actual 3D simulation like Stardom Hollywood. Have fun buying a plethora of clothes from the shops, dress your avatar up with the latest trends, and strut your stuff at the catwalk. There are even jobs for you to take (or you can be a house mom), your own virtual home to decorate and new friends to meet and add to your friends' list. This game can be pretty cutthroat as well since you'll be able to fight a rival sorority.Unfortunately, Sorority Life has been shut down on January 8, 2014 and will not be making a comeback anytime soon.

Stardew Valley
Stardew Valley is an indie farm simulation/RPG that had surprisingly become popular mainly because of the beautiful pixel art, its heartwarming storyline and of its fun yet relaxing gameplay. In this game, you've inherited your grandfather's old farm in Stardew Valley, a place that was previously vibrant with life is gradually being worn-down since Joja corporation brought its Joja Mart chain to town. However, you saw the potential that this Valley has and are determined to restore it to what it could be - greatness... or you could just sell out and supply the Joja corporation with your produce... it's completely your call!Like most farm simulation games, you'll need to plant, grow and harvest a wide variety of crops as well as raise a plethora of farm animals. There are plenty of useful machines that you can restore and use to hasten your day-to-day, farm life routine. Interestingly though, being an RPG, you'll also get to mine for minerals, fight enemies, fish for... well, fishes and go foraging in the wild. These skills can be leveled up with use and as you progress, you can even unlock new recipes, places to explore and even pick up a profession or two. The best part though is that the game has some of the most interesting characters in a farm sim, some of whom you can eventually date and marry. You can also decorate your virtual home and customize the appearance of your avatar.
Stardew Valley reminds many of the game, Harvest Moon, and they aren't wrong. The game seems to build on the best parts of the latter and add in acouple of its own unique twists too. This is the sort of game that gamers, regardless of which type you are, will be able to enjoy.
