Half Life 2 vs Halo 3
Half Life 2
Half Life 2 is the exciting sequel to the original Half Life game and is also the inspiration for a new Half-Life-based spin-off series. The game took the suspense, the challenge and the momentum of the first game and added in a much improved and realistic graphics and responsiveness that removes a lot of the clunkiness that old games often experience.The story also continues where it was left off before, with the crowbar-wielding scientist Gordon Freeman who now finds himself in an Earth that is not only infested with aliens but is also slowly decimated by them. He now needs to make amends for the incident back in Black Mesa and at least save the people that he cares about.
Half Life 2 is a great sequel, but it is unfortunately the last... at least for the Half Life series. On the bright side, you can somewhat continue the storyline through the spin-off games Half Life 2: Episode 1 and 2.
Halo 3
Halo 3 once more puts you into the shoes of the Master Chief as he battles on to save the galaxy from the madness of both the Covenant and the Flood. You also have the Arbiter along for the ride as the civil war rages on and there are still rogue elements to clean up. As you all head to the Ark to try and stop the last of the Prophets a magnificent story evolves taking you across all kinds of different worlds, places and spaces.With all the classic first person gameplay from the series alongside new items and cooldowns you have a spectacular game. With upgrades to every aspect from the graphics to the interface you have an experience well worth a try, and the online and multiplayer has also been smoothed out making for a fun place to be, not to mention the competitive side of the rankings too.
