Half Life 2: Episode One vs Left4Dead
Half Life 2: Episode One
Half Life 2: Episode One is the first standalone game in Valve's spin-off trilogy for its game series, Half Life. Featuring a gameplay that closely resembles Half Life 2, its namesake, this game provides loyal fans of the game a nice continuation (somewhat) in the series' storyline. Similar to Half Life 2, this game has a lot more scripted scenes as well as puzzles and strategic combat rather than simply adding in more aliens for you to fight and weapons for you to fight with.Despite its rather short game duration, Half Life 2: Episode One gives its hardcore fans something to chew on as they wait - endlessly - for a Half Life 3. And naturally, being released in 2006, the game has a more polished look. To be honest, it's a great alternative game to Half Life 2.
Left4Dead
Left4Dead is among one of the very first popular zombie-themed shooters that has evolved from being simply a single player experience into a multiplayer game that almost every 90s gamer have played in LAN sessions or at cyber cafes... or have at least heard of it. Developed by Valve, the game features a wide variety of zombies, each with their own special abilities; relatable characters and an urgency to reach the next safe house due to the waves after waves of zombies that make you feel like you are actually trying to fight for your own life! There are plenty of interesting locations and unique scenarios for you to enjoy, allowing players to break the monotony of fending off endless hordes of zombies.Once you're done with the campaign, there is even a multiplayer aspect which will allow you to play with your friends against another team of your friends as either the human survivors or as the ravenous zombies. Admittedly, the multiplayer mode is the perfect addition to the game as it drastically expanded the game's lifespan.
All in all, Left4Dead is the first of a hugely popular series of games that many are still clamoring for a sequel until today. The graphics and gameplay may feel rather outdated in this day and age but if you have a soft spot for "old but gold" games, this is one of the more modern classics that you should really try.
