BioShock Infinite vs Half Life 2
BioShock Infinite
BioShock Infinite is the last sequel of the BioShock series and is possibly the best one (or worst, depending on which side of the coin you are at) yet. The game is set in a gorgeous and populated city (at least at the beginning) in the sky called Columbia that unfortunately is not as cheery it apparently seems. The gameplay is quite different too since you'll have access to the city's many ziplines via special grappling hooks called Sky-Hooks, tears in the fabrics of time that you can exploit during combat to pull in aid in the form of turrets, weapons and other resources; as well as more Vigors.Not many people like this version of BioShock for their own reasons, but everyone can agree that for what it's worth, this game shouldn't be the end of the BioShock series... but that was what happened. So, if you're a fan of the franchise, this game is definitely a must-buy, just so you can enjoy the unique flavor of your favorite series one last time... and also to get your mind blown to pieces figuratively when you eventually realize how well the story is rounded up with that rather befuddling ending.
Half Life 2
Half Life 2 is the exciting sequel to the original Half Life game and is also the inspiration for a new Half-Life-based spin-off series. The game took the suspense, the challenge and the momentum of the first game and added in a much improved and realistic graphics and responsiveness that removes a lot of the clunkiness that old games often experience.The story also continues where it was left off before, with the crowbar-wielding scientist Gordon Freeman who now finds himself in an Earth that is not only infested with aliens but is also slowly decimated by them. He now needs to make amends for the incident back in Black Mesa and at least save the people that he cares about.
Half Life 2 is a great sequel, but it is unfortunately the last... at least for the Half Life series. On the bright side, you can somewhat continue the storyline through the spin-off games Half Life 2: Episode 1 and 2.
