Crysis Warhead vs Doom
Crysis Warhead
Crysis Warhead is somewhat like a spin-off mainly because it doesn't really continue the plotline in the main Crysis franchise. Instead, I'd venture as far to say that this game might be a prequel to the original Crysis... maybe? Anyway, in this game, you play as Sergeant Sykes who find hismelf on a life-risking mission to retrieve a cargo that's incredibly important behind enemy lines during the Korean war. The gameplay in this game is amazing visceral and intuitive, and of course, between the suit's abilities and the wide range of weapons, you'll have multiple methods to take out your enemies and walk away smiling.There are also aliens of course - it's just Crysis being Crysis - but the enemy AI is a whole lot more intelligent and may just catch you off guard if you're not careful.
As great as Crysis Warhead is, the game can be a tad bit short for its full price. However, if you can get it during a promotion, the game will be very well worth the experience, the time and the price.
Doom
Doom follows the footsteps of its revolutionary predecessor, the game that had pioneered the genre of first person shooters. Returned to the limelight with as much gore as before, this new and greatly enhanced version of Doom guarantees hours after hours of fun either in single player (with multiple game modes) or multiplayer mode as players mow down endless waves of demons with insanely destructive guns in intense, fast-paced and heartpounding action. The multiplayer mode in this game is a whole lot more entertaining as players can now opt to play either as Doom marines or as demons in an epic arena-styled clash to the death.The best part though is definitely the Doom SnapMap, a level editor which allows players, for the first time ever, to easily create their own adventures and even game modes, and share them for all to enjoy. This literally offers limitless gameplay for both the creators and the players alike.
The Doom franchise is one of the most iconic shooters of all time and have paved the way to the many epic shooters that we get to play today. This latest resurrection of Doom definitely pays homage to the timeless classic and also give modern-day shooters a nod of respect as to how far they have come. This is certainly a game you'll want to get if you're a fan of frantic shooter games like the Serious Sam franchise.
