Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning vs Silent Hill 2
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!
Silent Hill 2
Silent Hill 2 is the highly anticipated sequel to Silent Hill, but instead of trying to continue its predecessor's storyline, the game thrusts you into a whole new adventure as you join James Sunderland whose young wife, Mary, had just passed away due to a tragic event. With his life shattered before it had even begun, he hadn't been able to move on... and three years later, he received a mysterious letter that's apparently from his deceased wife asking him to return to the dark realm of Silent Hill where he will eventually find out the true nature of her death.Silent Hill 2 provides players with a much larger environment to explore in, including many of the previous closed off areas. The game even added special effects, such as real-time weather, fog, morphing and shadows, that is guaranteed to make you jump right off your seat.
