Are 3 cores better than 2?

Solution
depends what your doing, if your gaming most of the time the dual core will do it better. but if the game uses more than 2 threads the tri core would work better. problem is the slower speed of the tri core will hamper smooth gaming.
to play todays AAA games your more likely to need a 2.4(intel) or 2.6(amd) quad core over both the dual or tri core so if you can find a quad for the same price its a better option all together. (even if you have to buy second hand)

You say some processors can perform more per tick than others so if i had to choose which one would be better for casual gaming such as: Minecraft, Terraria, & Skyrim.

keep in mind i'm not to big on having to have the best eye candy game quality. It's more the playability than looks.

Those are older architectures, so I'm a bit rusty. I'm also not 100% sure which particular Core 2 Duo you're comparing with, but assuming it's either an E7300 or E8200, the Core 2 Duo should be better in most cases.
