City of Love: Paris vs The Walking Dead: Season One
City of Love: Paris
City of Love: Paris , developed by none other than Ubisoft, lets you dive into an interactive drama where you'll get to play as the heroine of your own story. Enjoy a storyline filled with romance and mystery as you visit various iconic Parisian locations like the Louvre, Notre-Dame cathedral, Montmartre, and more. The game also has a cast of well-fleshed-out characters for you to meet and flirt with... and who knows? You may end up finding your one true love!Like most games in this new interactive storytelling genre though, City of Love: Paris happens to be rather restrictive when it comes to premium decisions and unlocking new episodes. Having to wait a whole day just for 5 minutes of gameplay isn't exactly the idea of fun. However, the game is superb illustrations - better than most of the interactive storytelling games out there - and an interface that's very easy to navigate.
So, if you enjoy a romantic story that has a dash of mystery in it, City of Love: Paris is the game you should play. Just bear in mind that you will only be able to play this game in short bursts so you might want to fill in the time with some other games like City of Love: Paris that you may like.
The Walking Dead: Season One
The Walking Dead: Season One is the first of the 3-season, story-based game series, The Walking Dead, from Telltale Games and it has rapidly rose to fame partly because the TV series of the same name was (and is still) incredibly popular, but mainly because of the powerful writing and animations that are enough to make even grown men weep. The story in this game puts you in the shoes of Lee Everett, a convicted criminal who is given a second chance in a post-apocalyptic world filled with the undead - a second chance that came in the form of a young orphaned girl, Clementine. With the girl in tow, he vows to protect her at all costs in his own personal quest for redemption. This season contains 5 episodes in total, namely A New Day, Starved for Help, Long Road Ahead, Around Every Corner and No Time Left.The most interesting part about this game is that you'll be given the chance to make critical decisions that may drastically change the path of the plotline, resulting in a very different ending. Much like the gamebooks of old, this game offers multiple endings for you to discover. Sometimes, you'll even have to make important decisions within a limited time (almost immediately, in fact), enhancing the immersion and realism of the story itself.
Garnered over 90 Game of the Year awards, The Walking Dead: Season One will definitely provide players with plenty of nice side stories in addition to the main plotline where you can meet various famous characters in the TV shows before they all ended up in the same city where the first few episodes of the TV show were set in. This is a game that fans of The Walking Dead or of a good story-rich game shoulsn't miss out on!
