Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor vs Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell
Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor
Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor is one of the best games when it comes to the Lord of the Rings franchise... and yes, as much as we've enjoyed it, this means this game is way better than Lord of the Rings Online. Featuring a gameplay that may bring to mind other action-oriented RPGs like Assassin's Creed, Batman: Arkham and even Prince of Persia, Shadow of Mordor is a game that rewards stealthy attacks and yet if you prefer going after your opponents head-on, you can. Of course, the game is literally covered - oozing, in fact - with sweet, honey-like lore from the Lord of the Rings universe, and its graphics and soundtracks are simply superb.That said, the best part in this game is how everything major thing you do has an impact on the virtual world and this is best seen through the game's revolutionary Nemesis system. As the game progresses, you'll also unlock a wide variety of really cool abilities, one of which will allow you to mind-control orcs and turn them into your very own personal army.
Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor is perhaps one of the best RPGs out there that, despite its not-so-short 3 years on the market, the game has garnered overwhemingly positive reviews from both critics and fans alike.
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell is the first of the highly successful steath action game, Splinter Cell, based on Tom Clancy's award-winning novels. In this game, you play as Sam Fisher, a well-trained secret agent of the NSA's off-the-books division, the Third Echelon. As such, you'll need to infiltrate enemy's locations, acquire crucial intelligence and get to the extraction spot by any means necessary. Of course, as a secret operative set in the future, you'll have access to a plethora of incredible gadgets and devices to help you in your missions, but being a stealth-based game, you can't really attract too much attention from the enemies or you will quickly find yourself overwhelmed.Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell is the sort of tactically-charged stealth game that will make fans of the genre wet themselves in excitement. It's one of the more unique game franchises to have come out of the Tom Clancy brand after all.
