In this game, you'll play as Amanda, the daughter of the missing Ellen Ripley, who is driven by a need to know the truth behind Ellen's disappearance, embarks on an ill-prepared trip to a remote trading station Sevastopol. However, once your crew arrived, you immediately sensed that something's wrong. In a race against time, you'll need to scavenge resources and improvise along the way while knowing that your every move is being stalked by an Alien predator... and that your time here is becoming shorter every passing second.Alien: Isolation is possibly one of the most horrifying, story-driven game on Steam and that will most certainly knock your socks off when it comes to the fear department. If you're looking for a game that will give you a good solid scare, this is a game you can buy!
Half Life 2
Half Life 2 is the exciting sequel to the original Half Life game and is also the inspiration for a new Half-Life-based spin-off series. The game took the suspense, the challenge and the momentum of the first game and added in a much improved and realistic graphics and responsiveness that removes a lot of the clunkiness that old games often experience.The story also continues where it was left off before, with the crowbar-wielding scientist Gordon Freeman who now finds himself in an Earth that is not only infested with aliens but is also slowly decimated by them. He now needs to make amends for the incident back in Black Mesa and at least save the people that he cares about.
Half Life 2 is a great sequel, but it is unfortunately the last... at least for the Half Life series. On the bright side, you can somewhat continue the storyline through the spin-off games Half Life 2: Episode 1 and 2.
