Halo Wars vs Star Trek Online
Halo Wars
Halo Wars is the MMORTS spin-off that was inspired by the popular sci0fi shooter franchise, Halo. However, unlike a shooter, this time around you can choose to side with either the Covenant or the UNSC as they raise armies and battle each other on the battlefield. The game feels a lot like any other great MMORTS games, like Starcraft, but although the game supports keyboard controls, you might still want to plug in a controller because... well Halo is an XBox-exclusive series and as you might expect, its spin-offs are pretty much the same thing.The best part though is its multiplayer aspect. You can choose to play cooperatively with friends against a super strong AI in the campaign or you can go online and engage in intense, action-packed warfare with other players from all over the world through the versus game mode. However, a quick note though, waiting for its random matchmaking to find an opponent will take quite some time. So, if possible, go and meet your fellow players and add a couple of them as friends. At least when you want to play a game, you won't have to wait too long for one.
Star Trek Online
Star Trek Online is a sci-fi-themed MMORPG that features epic dogfights in space, a wide variety of alien species and encounters, as well as cool forms of futuristic space travels, set in the iconic Star Trek universe that many love and enjoy in the time period when the Klingons drive to expand their empire came into conflict with the forces of the Federation. That's not all, the Dominions are also seeking to wrestle Alpha Quadrant from the Federation and apparently, the Borgs have returned as well!With so many moving pieces in play, Star Trek Online is as rich in its storyline as in the popular TV shows and movies. THe gameplay is incredibly immersive too. In this game, you'll get to pilot/command your own starship, customize it to your liking and set off to the farthest reaches of the known galaxy fighting opposing factions, both AI and players alike.
In spite of what you might expect, Star Trek Online is not just a brilliant MMO game for fans of the franchise. As long as you have a love for thrilling space battles and exploring the unknown, then you'll fit right in with the other players in this amazing game.
