Half Life 2 vs Halo Reach
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 Reach
Halo Reach is one of the best spin-offs from the award-winning Halo series. Set in a whole new planet called Reach, the UNSC is attempting to deny the Covenant a hold on the planet and in its defense, they have sent their best team yet, the Noble Team. Joining the team as their sixth member, you'll need to work with your comrades and defend Reach from the hordes of the Covenant.Halo: Reach has been touted as being one of the best Halo game of all time mainly because of its amazing storyline and a gameplay that's fun and engaging. Aside from an impressive campaign, the game also features an addictive multiplayer aspect which includes a compelling 4-player co-op Firefight mode that, in fact, is one of the main highlights of the game. Despite being out for 7 years and counting, this game is still very well-loved by fans and critics alike.
