Half Life 2 vs Jamestown: Legend Of The Lost Colony
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.
Jamestown: Legend Of The Lost Colony
Jamestown: Legend Of The Lost Colony is a neo-classical, steampunk-themed top-down shooter that's set on 17th-century British Colonial Mars. The gameplay is as intense as any other bulletstorm-styled arcade games but the enjoyment is definitely ramped up with its 4-player co-op mode. Unlike other games where players in a team have a shared health pool, this game not only separates each player's health bars but also allow surviving players to resurrect dead players on the same team. So, this game gives meaning to sacrifices that other team members can make just so at least one member of the team can survive the round.Of course, aside from the unique gameplay, Jamestown: Legend Of The Lost Colony also has tons of fun levels, and even a "Gauntlet" mode which features its 1996 graphics. There are many achievements for you to collect and over 20 challenging bonus levels that will truly put your skills to the test.
