Half Life 2: Episode One vs Halo 3
Half Life 2: Episode One
Half Life 2: Episode One is the first standalone game in Valve's spin-off trilogy for its game series, Half Life. Featuring a gameplay that closely resembles Half Life 2, its namesake, this game provides loyal fans of the game a nice continuation (somewhat) in the series' storyline. Similar to Half Life 2, this game has a lot more scripted scenes as well as puzzles and strategic combat rather than simply adding in more aliens for you to fight and weapons for you to fight with.Despite its rather short game duration, Half Life 2: Episode One gives its hardcore fans something to chew on as they wait - endlessly - for a Half Life 3. And naturally, being released in 2006, the game has a more polished look. To be honest, it's a great alternative game to Half Life 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.
