Crysis 3 vs Thief 2: The Metal Age
Crysis 3
Crysis 3 is one of the best sequel in the Crysis series so far. As opposed to fighting aliens or other human enemies using a variety of guns, you now possess a unique futuristic Predator Bow that Hawkeye (obviously from the Avengers) would be incredibly envious of. The bow doesn't only look insanely cool, it can even fire various types of augmented arrows that can help you counter heavy artillery fire or electrocute an entire patrol who happened to be walking through a pool of water. Couple that with an improved nanosuit that has all the usual abilities you'd expect and you'll get a super-soldier that you can fully customize to fit your play style.The storyline in this game is quite different than the usual "fight aliens and save the world" sort. In addition to dealing with aliens, you'll also be going against the nefarious C.E.L.L. corporation that had turned the devastated New York City into a vast urban rainforest protected under a massive nanodome.
Crysis 3 has state-of-the-art graphics and effects as well. So, if you are looking to get into the series or even if you're a Crysis veteran, you'll want to get this game... even if its multiplayer functions are currently offline.
Thief 2: The Metal Age
Thief 2: The Metal Age is the highly anticipated, award-winning sequel to the incredible, stealth-based game, Thief (now called Thief Gold). This game features 15 new, non-linear and complex levels filled with tons of stuff to steal and guards to outwit. The AI in the game has been drastically improved as well, along with the addition of new tools to use and a compelling storyline set in an alternative world where powerful technologies and fanatical religion streneously co-existed.Despite being a rather old-school game, you can experience why this game franchise has blown up back then. Its stealth-based gameplay is pretty awesome and the plot is the best in the series. It is actually this second installment which had inducted the Thief game series into the coveted games' Hall of Fame!
