Half Life 2: Episode Two vs Rise of the Triad
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.
Rise of the Triad
Rise of the Triad was one of the best cult-classic of its era and now, the younger generation (along with the old) will get to enjoy this timeless first-person shooter game once again in this brilliant improved yet stoically-original version. In this game, you'll get to step into the shoes of the High-Risk United Nations Taskforce (or H.U.N.T. for short) as you blast your way through levels of non-stop, gory-filled action, gunning down enemies left and right as they come at you. Each level is also filled with secret niches and collectibles for you to find, and of course, who can forget the game's iconic original soundtrack... which has been reworked with elements of heavy metal to make it even more intense than before.With better graphics and an overall improved experience well-suited for the modern gamer, Rise of the Triad will be able to attract new players into its fold with its intriguing storyline and fun gameplay, while retaining enough of the original to give older players a nostalgic journey as they replayed one of their favorite games back in the day.
