Half Life 2 vs Starcraft
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.
Starcraft
Starcraft spans the galaxy as the Terran Dominion is settling into its new space, 2 alien races threaten this new Human endeavour. The ravenous Zerg and enigmatic Protoss both have agendas for the local space, and it falls to you to protect it. Or of course, you can be one of the alien races and see if you can dominate as one of them too.Here you have a stunning mix of real time strategy gameplay with over thirty missions and maps for you to enjoy. Build your base and gaher local resources to develop and build your army. Upgrade units and then send them into battle in hostile environments or send them marauding through bases. If that is not enough for you there is also a level editor where you can make your own and share them with friends, and of course take them on head to head in games too.
All in all this is a groundbreaking game full of action and lots of adventure. Come and see for yourself and discover another great universe to play in.
