BioShock vs Silent Hill 3
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.
Silent Hill 3
Silent Hill 3 once again provides you with a brand-new adventure that is filled with the franchise's iconic psychological horror and terrifying gameplay. This time around though, you get to play as a young teenage girl called Heather who was caught in a conflict with the cult at Silent Hill. In the game, you'll get to reveal the mysterious link between the eerie little town and Heather's innermost fears, meet a host of creepy characters that frankly you aren't sure are trustworthy as well as find out the magnet-like pull that Heather felt with Silent Hill.If you're interested in this game, you might want to check out the Silent Hill Re-Mastered Collection which combines Silent Hill 2 and 3 together in one neat package.
