Uncharted: Drake's Fortune vs Vanquish
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune is an Indiana Jones-like action-adventure game where you play as Nathan Drake, a modern-day fortune hunter who had obtained a clue in the coffin of his ancestor in regard to fabled treasure of El Dorado. However, the search turned deadly when he and his team find themselves stranded on a remote island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean while being hunted by well-equipped and trained mercenaries. In this game, you'll need to not only engage your enemies in exciting, cooperative gunfights using the environment for cover or even close-quarter combat; you'll also need to decipher the maps and ancient artifacts that you find, hoping to reveal the secrets that the island has hidden for over 400 years old.This is the game that has propelled the franchise to fame due to its incredibly immersive storyline and setting and also the smooth and frankly awesome gameplay. If you own a Playstation, this is definitely a game series you'll want to get.
Vanquish
Vanquish puts you into the shoes of government operative, Sam Gideon, who is part of the elite group of operatives that has their own Augmented Reaction Suit which give them superior firepower, superhuman speed and agility as well as a certain amount of suave as they take down groups of hostile and deadly robots. The combat system in this game is incredibly well-made and unique. Aside from having a bullet time system, it also provides players with a smooth gameplay, be it when they are performing kinetic melee moves or when they are trading gunfire with the robots.However, many players have mentioned about the flaw when it comes to weapon upgrades in this game. Unlike most games, you actually have to be equipping the correct gun type in order to pick up the upgrade cube, which randomly appears. It does provide players with the incentive to keep replaying the game but it can be pretty frustrating if you had to give up picking up a hard-earned cube because you don't have the weapon you need.
Besides this downside though, Vanquish is among the top-most third-person shooters that have excellent, well-designed mechanics. If you enjoy smooth combat and a cool and somewhat Halo-like suit, then this is definitely the game for you!
