Crysis Warhead vs Halo Reach
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.
Halo Reach
Halo Reach is one of the best spin-offs from the award-winning Halo series. Set in a whole new planet called Reach, the UNSC is attempting to deny the Covenant a hold on the planet and in its defense, they have sent their best team yet, the Noble Team. Joining the team as their sixth member, you'll need to work with your comrades and defend Reach from the hordes of the Covenant.Halo: Reach has been touted as being one of the best Halo game of all time mainly because of its amazing storyline and a gameplay that's fun and engaging. Aside from an impressive campaign, the game also features an addictive multiplayer aspect which includes a compelling 4-player co-op Firefight mode that, in fact, is one of the main highlights of the game. Despite being out for 7 years and counting, this game is still very well-loved by fans and critics alike.
