Friday the 13th: The Game vs S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl
Friday the 13th: The Game
Friday the 13th: The Game is a truly terrifying third-person horror-survival game that is based on the popular horror movie, Friday the 13th. In this game, you get to play as the terror himself, Jason Voorhees, or even as one of the teen counselors. Naturally, depending on the role you play, your objective in the game would be very quite the polar opposite. Jason however has access to a range of unique abilities with will allow him to track, hunt and kill his prey, while what you'll have as a counselor is your group of six equally unlucky people.Friday the 13th: The Game not only lets you play as a survivor trying to escape from Jason, but it also lets you play as one of the most prolific killers in cinema history. If this sounds appealing to you, you will definitely want to grab the game and a couple of friends to play the game with.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl is the first of a hugely popular post-apocalyptic-themed, first-person, survival-horror shooter which might have just amassed a cult following. Set in 2012, almost two decades after the worst nuclear disaster occured at the Chernobyl power station and around 6 years after a second explosion rocked the damaged reactor, causing various anomalies to ripple open and from them came waves of mutated creatures, deadly radiation and also rare artifacts that are somehow imbued with powerful anomalous energy... artifacts that many would kill to have.Since then, the existence of such artifacts have brought forth groups of "stalkers", scavengers who scour the cordoned areas around Chernobyl for these very objects... and in this game, you play as one of them.
The game has risen to acclamation partly due to the terrifying, nightmarish creatures that the game contains, in addition to the brilliantly immersive storyline and an incredibly realistic game environemnt that's modelled after its real-world counterpart deep inside the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. The gameplay is excellent as well. The game has accurate ballstics and combat mechanics, as well as a challenging survival aspect that is further made difficult due to the impact day and night, and the weather system has on the environment. There is also a multiplayer mode that can support up to 32 players.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl has just celebrated its 10-year anniversary earlier this year and as such, many aspects of the game aren't really up to scratch by today's standards at least. If you do plan on getting this game, you might want to download some mods to help improve the game somewhat.
