Fable 2 vs Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor
Fable 2
Fable 2 is the sequel to the incredibly popular Fable RPG series set in the land of Albion. Offering more of the same and yet with some nice improvements such as getting a pet dog, the game is more immersive than ever. Craft your own narrative as you forge your own path as a fighter, a gunslinger or a mage. You can even build relationships with various NPCs, fall in love and start your own family. And of course, the franchise's hallmark feature - every action you make will have a consequence... some of which can be pretty funny.Fable 2 is a brilliant follow-up to the original game and does the franchise justice. However, the game is somehow not available for PC gamers unlike the previous game, and this can come as a disappointment for many fans. That said, if you got an Xbox, you might want to get this game.
Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor
Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor is one of the best games when it comes to the Lord of the Rings franchise... and yes, as much as we've enjoyed it, this means this game is way better than Lord of the Rings Online. Featuring a gameplay that may bring to mind other action-oriented RPGs like Assassin's Creed, Batman: Arkham and even Prince of Persia, Shadow of Mordor is a game that rewards stealthy attacks and yet if you prefer going after your opponents head-on, you can. Of course, the game is literally covered - oozing, in fact - with sweet, honey-like lore from the Lord of the Rings universe, and its graphics and soundtracks are simply superb.That said, the best part in this game is how everything major thing you do has an impact on the virtual world and this is best seen through the game's revolutionary Nemesis system. As the game progresses, you'll also unlock a wide variety of really cool abilities, one of which will allow you to mind-control orcs and turn them into your very own personal army.
Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor is perhaps one of the best RPGs out there that, despite its not-so-short 3 years on the market, the game has garnered overwhemingly positive reviews from both critics and fans alike.
