Allods Online vs BioShock
Allods Online
Allods Online is a great MMORPG that contains elements of steampunk, if you choose to support the Empire and fantasy, if you decide to side with the League instead. The game contains a very engaging storyline as well as plenty of interesting character races and classes for you to choose from. The game also provides plenty of features, which are common in any MMORPG, such as a huge slew of dungeons and PvP arenas, questing, world PvP in contested locations, an auction house, 7 different gathering and crafting professions, as well as cool-looking mounts and pets.If you enjoy MMORPGs, this is one game that you mustn't miss out on. You should definitely give Allods Online a chance to show its worth to you and who knows? You may enjoy it so much that you decide to stay!
BioShock
BioShock is one of the most highly acclaimed steampunk-themed shooters that has a very interesting twist - your very character's DNA can be modified through the use of a selection of plasmids and a special resource called ADAM, allowing you to have superhuman abilities which will serve you well, sometimes more so than the weapon you wield, in your adventure through the fallen underwater city of Rapture. Aside from the many violent mad men (a.k.a. Splicers), the game also provides players with challeging encounters with the iconic Big Daddies and Little Sisters.When it comes to non-military-styled shooters with an intensely immersive storyline, BioShock is among the handful of the "best of the best" (which includes the Fallout series, the Borderlands series, the Deus Ex series and others). The game boasts of having a rather dark storyline that actually challenges you to think about it in a more in-depth way; to link all the clues together to get the complete narrative that is surprisingly a lot more engaging that you'd expect.
2K Games has just released the remastered version of the very first Bioshock last year and if you can get it on Steam, you really should. The very unique experience it can offer you is very well worth the cost.
