Ancient Aliens: The Game vs Half Life 2
Ancient Aliens: The Game
Ancient Aliens: The Game is a conspiracy-themed idle city-building adventure game based on the popular TV documentary series on The History Channel, Ancient Aliens. In this game, you play as an alien hybrid who is hell-bent on learning the truth. To do so, you'll need to work with Ancient Astronaut Theorists to uncover evidence. You will also abduct primitive humans and tweak their DNA to help them advance to the next stage of civilization, just so you can further exploit the Earth's rich natural resources just to build impressive monuments to placate your alien overlords.Idle mobile games are a dime a dozen nowadays, but this game manages to stand out simply by tapping into the little voice in each of our heads that say "What if?". The "story", if you can even call it that, can be as mind-bogglingly shocking, and confusing, as the documentary series, but if you enjoy a good alien-related conspiracy or two, Ancient Aliens: The Game is definitely a game you'll want to play.
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.
