Half Life 2 vs Rigid Force Alpha
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.
Rigid Force Alpha
Rigid Force Alpha is a 3D side-scrolling arcade shooter (shoot 'em up) where you assume command of one of the most advanced technologies the United Planet Freedom Forces (UPFF) has ever had. Featuring tons of exciting enemies and challenging bosses, this game provides you with many fun ways to blast various colored projectiles be it amplifying your attack power and allowing you to shoot at the enemies behind you using Force Shards or unleashing your charged attack after collecting sufficient energy orbs from fallen enemies. You can even use Bullet Blade to protect your ship from a hail of projectiles, as long as you have the energy to spare.In addition to an intriguing, albeit generic, storyline where UPFF's top-secret research facilities are sending out distress signals, Rigid Force Alpha also has two other game modes which will be unlocked as you progress in the main mission and a nice range of difficulty levels.
Offering an exhilarating and pretty intense gameplay, Rigid Force Alpha is an arcade shooter that will keep you at the edge of your seat! This game may be underrated but it is a worthwhile purchase, especially if you're a huge fan of arcade games.
