BioShock vs F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin
BioShock
BioShock is one of the most highly acclaimed steampunk-themed shooters that has a very interesting twist - your very character's DNA can be modified through the use of a selection of plasmids and a special resource called ADAM, allowing you to have superhuman abilities which will serve you well, sometimes more so than the weapon you wield, in your adventure through the fallen underwater city of Rapture. Aside from the many violent mad men (a.k.a. Splicers), the game also provides players with challeging encounters with the iconic Big Daddies and Little Sisters.When it comes to non-military-styled shooters with an intensely immersive storyline, BioShock is among the handful of the "best of the best" (which includes the Fallout series, the Borderlands series, the Deus Ex series and others). The game boasts of having a rather dark storyline that actually challenges you to think about it in a more in-depth way; to link all the clues together to get the complete narrative that is surprisingly a lot more engaging that you'd expect.
2K Games has just released the remastered version of the very first Bioshock last year and if you can get it on Steam, you really should. The very unique experience it can offer you is very well worth the cost.
F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin
F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin puts you into the shoes of Special Forces Sgt. Michael Becket whose routine mission turned into a fight for survival as he and his squad fight tooth and nail against the wrath of Alma Wade. In this game, you'll need to battle through a terrifying post-apocalyptic-like landscape in hopes of finding clues that you can use against Alma. Aside from its amazing bullet time mechanics, the tactical gameplay is as intense and explosive as ever, forcing you to truly make use of your surroundings and decide the best approach to tackling certain obstacles. The AI in this game has been enhanced as well, giving you the extra challenge you crave.Not to mention, if you're interested, you might also want to grab F.E.A.R. 2's major DLC, F.E.A.R. 2: Reborn as well just so you can have a complete story and fully enjoy this sequel.
