Linda Brown: Interactive Story vs Syberia 2
Linda Brown: Interactive Story
Linda Brown: Interactive Story is The Other Guys' forey into the interactive storytelling business after their pretty good sucess with the Sherlock-themed hidden objects game, Sherlock Holmes: Lost Detective. Similar to the latter, this game features an intriguing and immersive, romance-and-mystery-filled story where you'll be playing as Linda Brown herself. Meet a host of interesting characters (and you can even date some of them), travel to various locations as you follow the trail of clues, and make important decisions that will change the path of your narrative.However, unlike games like Episode or Choices, Linda Brown: Interactive Story has a gameplay that is a lot similar to any of the games Telltale Games produced. This means that characters in the game will remember your reactions or responses and act accordingly the next time you meet.
The only major downside in this game is that, like Episodes and Choices, there are special "premium decisions" that you can make to further deepen the storyline, but the diamonds needed to buy these special decisions can be pretty costly - $3 per premium decision. Due to this, it might be great to have the option of earning diamonds by watching video ads.
Overall though, Linda Brown: Interactive Story is still a very well-written interactive story that doesn't only have romantic elements but also an intriguing mystery that rivals most hidden objects games. If you enjoy a good mystery with a dash of romance, this is the game you should play.
Syberia 2
Syberia 2 is the second installment in the Syberia game series. Although the ending of the first game is pretty much complete, Kate Walker is no ordinary lawyer. Being the adventurous sort, she sets off once again, with the old Hans Voralberg in tow, to find the last legendary Syberian mammoths. This quest had been Hans' lifelong dream and finally, you will be able to help him realize it. However, like you'd expect, obstacles popped up and your puzzle-solving skills will be put to the test.Coupled with brilliant graphics, Syberia 2 features another equally engrossing storyline that will captivate fans and critics alike. If you enjoyed the first game in the series, you'll definitely like this one.
