Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning vs L.A. Noire
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning is an amazing action-based RPG which we frankly think was one of those RPG gems that were somehow overlooked. Even with its age in mind, the game still does well to cater to fans of RPGs today, giving them a memorable storyline based on a universe created by none other than the legend in fantasy novels, R.A. Salvatore; a host of interesting characters to interact with, and a massive open world to explore. Character customization is pretty extensive here, allowing you to change your character's class, skills and abilities to fit your play style. You can change your character's equipment as well.The amazing part about this game, aside from its immersive storyline and world, is how seemlessly it has managed to integrate magic-wielding with swordplay (it doesn't exactly have to be swords though) in its exhilarting action combat. It does make you feel like you are in the shoes of your character.
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning may not be a "Skyrim"-sort of game, but it's incredibly in-depth, able to offer you hundreds of hours of play time at the very least, especially if you are determined to complete every side quest and explore every corner of the beautiful world. It's definitely worth every cent you spent on it!
L.A. Noire
L.A. Noire is a crime thriller game that allows you to play as a Cole Phelps, an LAPD detective who was in charge of a string of arson attacks, gory homicides and other conspiracies that are running rampant, tearing up the city left and right.

You'll also find yourself in various difficult situations as you play and every decision you make will affect the storyline somewhat.With a gripping plot that you can actually interact with and a host of characters that are incredibly realistic and relatable, L.A. Noire is a noir-themed game that will keep you at the very edge of your seat. The realism in this game is simply astounding. If you enjoy a good crime thriller, this is definitely the game to play.
