Nancy Drew: Shadow at the Water's Edge vs Tomb Raider: Underworld
Nancy Drew: Shadow at the Water's Edge
Nancy Drew: Shadow at the Water's Edge sends you, while playing as Nancy Drew, to Japan where you are staying in a traditional Japanese inn with Bess and George. However, your vacation took a turn for the worse when a vengeful ghost start scaring away the other guests. Being the inquisitive detective that you are, it's now up to you to find out what's really going on before the ghost got the revenge it seeks!With a nice Japanese theme and the usual exciting gameplay that makes the Nancy Drew game series so popular among players of point-and-click adventure games, Nancy Drew: Shadow at the Water's Edge is a great addition to the game franchise.
Tomb Raider: Underworld
Tomb Raider: Underworld is a rather unique iteration of the age-old favorite action-adventure series featuring the fearless adventurer, Lara Croft. The game retained the franchise's love for intriguing puzzles and yet, it provided a ton of improvements in terms of adding in a dual-target system, non-linear puzzles (puzzles with multiple solutions), new abilities and tools, as well as a cool all-terrain hybrid motorbike.At the time of writing, Tomb Raider: Underworld would be celebrating its 10th anniversary next year, and as such, the game's graphics isn't exactly up to today's standards. The gameplay may feel rather clunky to some as well. However, if you really want to experience a more recent Tomb Raider that stayed true to the old puzzle-heavy format, this is the game to play.
