Linda Brown: Interactive Story vs Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception
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.
Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception
Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception lets you slide into the shoes of treasure hunter extraordinaire, Nathan Drake, once again where the search for the legendary "Atlantis of the Sands" brings him and his mentor to the middle of the Arabian Desert. However, this time, they are going up against a powerful and shadowy organization that will do whatever it takes to put an end to their hunt... and to them. Interestingly, unlike the previous games, Uncharted 3 lets you travel to a variety of beautifully rendered locations from Europe to the Middle East. Couple that with an award-winning story and Hollywood-styled cinematic experience and you'll get an epic game that somehow managed to bring Nathan's exhilarating adventures to life!The gameplay also has been drastically improved, allowing players to take on enemies using a more variety of methods including stealth. There is even a multiplayer option and various new challenges that will put your skills as a treasure hunter to the test.
Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception is perfectly designed for both fans and newcomers alike, but of course, if you're a fan, you'll probably want to have this game in your Playstation's library. It is possibly the best game from the Uncharted franchise yet!
