Linda Brown: Interactive Story vs Silent Hill
Linda Brown: Interactive Story
Linda Brown: Interactive Story is The Other Guys' forey into the interactive storytelling business after their pretty good sucess with the Sherlock-themed hidden objects game, Sherlock Holmes: Lost Detective. Similar to the latter, this game features an intriguing and immersive, romance-and-mystery-filled story where you'll be playing as Linda Brown herself. Meet a host of interesting characters (and you can even date some of them), travel to various locations as you follow the trail of clues, and make important decisions that will change the path of your narrative.However, unlike games like Episode or Choices, Linda Brown: Interactive Story has a gameplay that is a lot similar to any of the games Telltale Games produced. This means that characters in the game will remember your reactions or responses and act accordingly the next time you meet.
The only major downside in this game is that, like Episodes and Choices, there are special "premium decisions" that you can make to further deepen the storyline, but the diamonds needed to buy these special decisions can be pretty costly - $3 per premium decision. Due to this, it might be great to have the option of earning diamonds by watching video ads.
Overall though, Linda Brown: Interactive Story is still a very well-written interactive story that doesn't only have romantic elements but also an intriguing mystery that rivals most hidden objects games. If you enjoy a good mystery with a dash of romance, this is the game you should play.
Silent Hill
Silent Hill is the first game in one of the biggest horror-themed adventure game franchise. This game lets you join Harry Mason, the average concerned father, who based on a clue he obtained, went to the mysterious and eerie town of Silent Hill in search of his missing adopted daughter, Cheryl. However, things took a turn for the worst when Harry stumbled upon a cult that is trying to revive an evil deity it worships and discovered the origin of his daughter. Being an adventure game, Silent Hill also offers multiple endings depending on the actions you take and the decisions you make in addition to an engrossing story.Konami has also reinvented this classic and produced a remastered version of the game, called Silent Hill: Shattered Memories, for Wii, PSP and PS2.
