Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor vs Shadow of the Colossus
Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor
Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor is one of the best games when it comes to the Lord of the Rings franchise... and yes, as much as we've enjoyed it, this means this game is way better than Lord of the Rings Online. Featuring a gameplay that may bring to mind other action-oriented RPGs like Assassin's Creed, Batman: Arkham and even Prince of Persia, Shadow of Mordor is a game that rewards stealthy attacks and yet if you prefer going after your opponents head-on, you can. Of course, the game is literally covered - oozing, in fact - with sweet, honey-like lore from the Lord of the Rings universe, and its graphics and soundtracks are simply superb.That said, the best part in this game is how everything major thing you do has an impact on the virtual world and this is best seen through the game's revolutionary Nemesis system. As the game progresses, you'll also unlock a wide variety of really cool abilities, one of which will allow you to mind-control orcs and turn them into your very own personal army.
Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor is perhaps one of the best RPGs out there that, despite its not-so-short 3 years on the market, the game has garnered overwhemingly positive reviews from both critics and fans alike.
Shadow of the Colossus
Shadow of the Colossus is an action-adventure game where you play a skilled hunter who, in order to bring a girl back to life, sets off across ancient lands to slay sixteen different Colossi. Each colossus has its own set of abilities, strengths and weaknesses and it if up to you to figure out the best way to slay it based on what meagre arsenal you have - a sword and a bow. Of course, you'll also need to have excellent reflexes and a determination to do whatever it takes to bring down your target colossus.In some way, Shadow of the Colossus is a monster-hunting game with a unique background story that's set in a beautiful world. Featuring an action-based combat, you'll need to strategize before striking to maximize your chances of success. If this is the sort of game you enjoy playing and you happen to own a Playstation console, you should definitely check this game out.
