Max Payne 3 vs The Blacklist: Conspiracy
Max Payne 3
Max Payne 3 is the latest sequel to the Max Payne franchise. The story in this game continue to follow Max's struggles with the tragedies and losses he experienced but this time around, he is no longer a cop but a bodyguard who is in charged of protecting the family of a billionaire real estate mogul. However, things went terribly wrong and Max finds himself in a foreign city hunting down the kidnappers and also the truth to his past. With the storyline in mind, the developers have added plenty of nice cinematic scenes to further increase the immersion of its compelling narrative.Not to mention, the game also greatly improved its slow-motion-based gameplay with the addition of the Rockstar Games' proprietary Advanced Bullet Time® and Shootdodge™ and Final Kill-cam mechanics that guarantees some epicly stylish shooting action. Every bit of the gameplay is brilliant rendered to incredible detail as well, giving the slow-motion aspect of its gameplay the kind of high quality that many have praised the game for.
Max Payne 3 is an astoundingly well-made sequel when it comes to gameplay, but many fans have noted that this game oddly lacks the noir feel that had made the franchise unique in the first place. Perhaps it is just part of the franchise's evolution to being a mainstream game, or maybe the developers just want to try something new. Regardless, if you're a fan of the Max Payne story, you might have a bit of a mixed feeling about this game. But if you're just in for the slow-motion-infused shooting action, then you won't be disappointed!
The Blacklist: Conspiracy
The Blacklist: Conspiracy is an investigative-themed hidden object adventure game based on the popular TV show, The Blacklist, that seems to merge the appeal of law enforcement-style hidden object games like Criminal Case with the secret and often morally-ambiguous world of spies, secret agents, and the FBI. In this game, you play as an FBI agent who has been tracking down the notorious terrorist organization known as The Invisible Hand. However, one day, you unexpectedly received help from a known Wanted criminal, Raymond Reddington, which you acted upon, due to the urgency of the tip-off, without thinking about the consequences of receiving such intel. As such, you end up trapped between doing what's right with the bureau while accepting aid and info from surprisingly reliable yet shady people like Raymond and his associates.Gameplay-wise, The Blacklist: Conspiracy feels a lot like Criminal Case, but it does do some things differently, such as adding in boosts and special timed challenges for scenes from time to time. You'll also sometimes find yourself in the hot seat in an interrogation where you'll be asked about important clues and findings you get from a previous case. Most interesting of all, the game often presents you with a critical moment in the storyline where you get to make a decision so important that it will change the course of your storyline. Most of these moments are moral dilemmas so there isn't really a black-and-white answer.
Sounds like fun? Well, The Blacklist: Conspiracy is free to download and play on all mobile devices, be it Android, iOS or Windows.
