Half Life vs Halo 2
Half Life
Half Life is the first game in the famous Half Life series that has gained a certain amount of infamy among gamers mainly because Valve has refused their fans' request to create a Half Life 3. That being said, the game itself is pretty old - released back in 1998 - and it was a shining gem of a game back in its time because of its amaing gameplay and engaging storyline. Unlike any other games in the 90s, Half Life manages to combine action and adventure along with a what-was-back-then a realistic world into one amazing package. The game also has a multiplayer mode that turns the game's many maps into arenas for you to play against your friends.Half Life is one of "those games" that almost every gamer (midcore and above) would at least have heard of before. It's as classic as classic games go. If you enjoy old-school games, Half Life is probably one of the first few games you'd want to play.
Halo 2
Halo 2 follows on from the events of the first game, and takes you on a trip into the Covenant as well as following the story of the Master Chief. The Elite Commander of the last fleet to engage the humans at the Halo Ring is disgraced and on trial, but this leads to him becoming the Arbiter, a source of justice among the races. Meanwhile the Master Chief and Cortana fight for control of Earth after an attack by one of the Elders of the Covenant. This is merely the start of your adventure here and another chapter of the epic story unfolds before you as you set off across the cities of Earth and the Stars to stop what could be the end of everything you know.Once more you have a stunning first person shooter full of action, new skills and weapons to use and the ability to duel wield small arms for unparalleled firepower. With all the gameplay you love, and a new online version of the split screen multiplayer you can enjoy the campaign with friends and take part in ranked matches online. All in all a brilliant game with much critical acclaim this was and still is an epic sequel.
