Half Life 2: Episode Two vs N.O.V.A. 3
Half Life 2: Episode Two
Half Life 2: Episode Two continues the storyline of Half Life 2: Episode One (obviously). Playing once again as Dr Gordon Freeman, you set off from City 17 with Alyx Vance in hopes of delivering crucial information to that's left of your fellow resistance scientists. However, to do so, you'll need to cross the dangerous White Forest while having Combine forces hot on your tail.Featuring new weapons, vehicles, and monstrous creatures, Half Life 2: Episode 2 is definitely able to satisfy the masses of fans who are hooked on one of the world's most popular classic game franchise. However, the game apparently ends with a cliffhanger and that Valve, much to the dismay of their fans, has no intentions of finishing the trilogy. This has sparked a rather huge outroar especially when it was leaked that the storyline for Episode 3 has already been written.
Regardless, this game is still a worthwhile purchase despite its years and the incomplete storyline.
N.O.V.A. 3
N.O.V.A. 3 continues the exciting story from the previous game four months after Kal Wardin defeated the Volterites. This time around though, the President of the human coalition has been assassinated and in a rather rash decision, most of the colonies have surrendered to the Volterite Protectorate. Kal tried to keep out of the issue but he feels the need to head back into all the action to save mankind and a restored but now war-torn Earth yet again.With even more to offer, N.O.V.A. 3 is truly a step up from its predecessors. There are more weapons for you to play with, larger multiplayer battles you can dive into, and more varied multiplayer modes. There is even voice chat (for certain devices only) for players to communicate more effectively, allowing players to coordinate better on the battlefield.
Unfortunately, N.O.V.A. 3 is not available on GooglePlay despite being available on iOS and Windows phones. So, if you happen to be an Android user, you might want to check out our list of alternative games or just play N.O.V.A. Legacy.
