BioShock 2 vs Half Life
BioShock 2
BioShock 2 is the highly anticipated sequel to the popular BioShock game where you are thrown yet again back to the watery depths of Rapture but this time in the boots of the most iconic character of the BioShock franchise, the Big Daddy. The game also one-ups the previous game by introducing a more challenging opponent, Big Sisters, and another well-crafted and highly-acclaimed storyline that is as equally tragic as the last. In terms of gameplay, the game now allows players to dual wield a combination of plasmids, weapons or both.This time around the game also has a multiplayer option with unique multiplayer scenarios for players to experience and enjoy, including the opportunity to be involved in Rapture's civil war which had turned it into the creepy city that it is in the first game.
BioShock 2 retained most of what made the franchise so popular in the first place and yet added plenty more new features to change up the gameplay and appease its loyal and hardcore fans. This is a game that is highly recommended only after you've experienced the first BioShock game... seriously, don't jump the sequence!
Half Life
Half Life is the first game in the famous Half Life series that has gained a certain amount of infamy among gamers mainly because Valve has refused their fans' request to create a Half Life 3. That being said, the game itself is pretty old - released back in 1998 - and it was a shining gem of a game back in its time because of its amaing gameplay and engaging storyline. Unlike any other games in the 90s, Half Life manages to combine action and adventure along with a what-was-back-then a realistic world into one amazing package. The game also has a multiplayer mode that turns the game's many maps into arenas for you to play against your friends.Half Life is one of "those games" that almost every gamer (midcore and above) would at least have heard of before. It's as classic as classic games go. If you enjoy old-school games, Half Life is probably one of the first few games you'd want to play.
