What's Buzzing? - Free Realms to end on March 31st

Sad to see this one go as it is primarily a game for kids. I did try it out and  did have some fun with one of the mini games - the tower garden defense.

I also tried out Vanguard which had some potential in it but seems underdeveloped. I tried it out as there was some kind of martial art class in it but I found the gameplay not very good so I stopped. So its end comes as not much of a surprise.

The impending  closure of Free Realms is indeed a surprise as there was talk that  more than 10 million people  had joined it.  One of the reasons for its closure was that many of the kids have grown up and moved on to other games. The game has quite beautiful graphics but I got to admit the gameplay was too simplistic and not always interesting in certain areas. That could be one of the reasons why some of the kids have moved on to play other games.
