Battlestar Galactica Online vs Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Blacklist
Battlestar Galactica Online
Battlestar Galactica Online is a very well-developed and fun spaceship simulation game which allows you to play the role of a promising new recruit! Choose a faction to align yourself with, either the colonials (humans) or the Cylons, and help your faction take control of critical sectors and resources in the unexplored area that both factions are stranded in. Engage in combat with your fellow pilots to destroy enemy outposts and claim the sector for your faction. Collect resources to trade for ship upgrades or for cubits (in-game currency), which in turn will allow you to purchase new and more powerful ships.If you enjoy action-based space simulations or are a huge fan of Battlestar Galactica series, then Battlestar Galactica Online is definitely the game you need.
Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Blacklist
Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Blacklist is the latest game under the Splinter Cell franchise and it is possibly the best one yet. As opposed to the more disappointing Conviction, Blacklist manages to combine the best of both the original and Conviction titles and added in all the features that players have complained the sequel lacked, including actual stealth-based gameplay where you can avoid an enemy instead of forcing you to engage him, as well as performing non-lethal takedowns.As usual, you'll have access to an arsenal of impressive gadgets which does make your job a whole lot easier, but this time around, certain unique enemies are able to counter your devices, forcing you to come up with new alternative plans rather than simply sticking to the "distract-and-take out" routine. This is very unlike Conviction where the gadgets had made the game too easy.
The storyline is also pretty good since the protagonist, Sam Fisher, now has free reign to do what it takes to take down a group of terrorists called The Engineers and their ultimate terror attack plan to launch escalating attacks on US interests around the world, codenamed Blacklist. Your mission? Flush out their leader and take him down.
Aside fromt he campaing, the game has cooperative missions that you can play with friends online as well. However, the servers have long since been taken down and thus, you either have to play those coop missions alone - it's possible, thankfully - or you can try LAN.
