Far Cry 3 - Blood Dragon vs Half Life 2: Episode One
Far Cry 3 - Blood Dragon
Far Cry 3 - Blood Dragon is a pretty fun standalone spin-off from the usual Far Cry series, mainly because it has a rather ridiculous but awesome-looking graphics (the game is set in a super-modern 80s, back when neon lights are very "in"), and partly because the game exaggerated the usual insanity that the franchise provides.In this game, you play as the Rambo-like Cyber Commando, Sergeant Rex Colt who is on a very straightforward mission - protect the girl, kill all enemies and save the world. The variety of baddies that you'll encounter in this game is simply incredible, ranging from cyborgs and mutants to aliens and Terminators. It's also nice that this game uses feedback for Far Cry 3 and improved plus streamlined its upgrade system.
If you're looking for a game that will throw you back to the VHS era, Far Cry 3 - Blood Dragon is the game you'll want to play.
Half Life 2: Episode One
Half Life 2: Episode One is the first standalone game in Valve's spin-off trilogy for its game series, Half Life. Featuring a gameplay that closely resembles Half Life 2, its namesake, this game provides loyal fans of the game a nice continuation (somewhat) in the series' storyline. Similar to Half Life 2, this game has a lot more scripted scenes as well as puzzles and strategic combat rather than simply adding in more aliens for you to fight and weapons for you to fight with.Despite its rather short game duration, Half Life 2: Episode One gives its hardcore fans something to chew on as they wait - endlessly - for a Half Life 3. And naturally, being released in 2006, the game has a more polished look. To be honest, it's a great alternative game to Half Life 2.
