Battlestar Galactica Online vs Mass Effect 2
Battlestar Galactica Online
Battlestar Galactica Online is a very well-developed and fun spaceship simulation game which allows you to play the role of a promising new recruit! Choose a faction to align yourself with, either the colonials (humans) or the Cylons, and help your faction take control of critical sectors and resources in the unexplored area that both factions are stranded in. Engage in combat with your fellow pilots to destroy enemy outposts and claim the sector for your faction. Collect resources to trade for ship upgrades or for cubits (in-game currency), which in turn will allow you to purchase new and more powerful ships.If you enjoy action-based space simulations or are a huge fan of Battlestar Galactica series, then Battlestar Galactica Online is definitely the game you need.
Mass Effect 2
Mass Effect 2 is the highly anticipated sequel to the new sci-fi game franchise from BioWare, Mass Effect. The story in this game continues where the previous game left off - you, playing as Commander Shepard, is now a famous hero among humans and the more peaceful alien races and is tasked with investigating the mysterious circumstances that had caused entire human colonies to disappear without so much as a single trace of resistance. Of course, you won't be doing all of this alone. With your elite team of companions assembled, you'll set off on a much powerful version of the Normandy (spaceship) to seek out the culprits, to make them pay for what they have done and to save as many survivors as you can.Featuring the same depth when it comes to character customization - perhaps even more so, this game has removed the inland exploring and mineral extracting aspect and replaced it with a probe-based planet scanning system where you will scan planets to identify mineral rich locations and then send probes to do all the collecting for you. Interestingly, some planets also have special encounters with their own side-stories that are entirely optional. The gameplay itself is still pretty well-designed but of course, it slightly pales in comparison to the incredibly rich storyline this game has to offer.
If you have enjoyed any one of the core Mass Effect trilogy, then you'll want to at least play them all so you can get the whole story. After all, having a rich, decision-based storyline is the main selling feature of this franchise. And of course, Commander Shepard him/herself recommends this game, so who are you to say no to the legendary Commander Shepard?
