Borderlands vs Half Life 2: Episode One
Borderlands
Borderlands is one of the craziest RPG/FPS games ever, not only because of its over-the-top characters and their dialogues but also the ridiculously whacky storyline. Join in the insanity by playing as one of four trigger-happy mercs and engage in frantic shootouts with a wide (dungeon crawlers' definition of "wide") arsenal of weapons ranging from rocket-launching shotguns to SMGs spitting out fire rounds that literally set your enemies ablaze! You can also enjoy some intense vehicular combat if guns are just too "mainstream" for you. Team with up to 4 friends as you traverse the vast, lawless and barren planet of Pandora in search of The Vault... or you can just play solo - the game doesn't mind either way.Even Borderlands' bold art style add loads to elevate the game's craziness meter to a whole new level. The game's just all around fun especially for fans of shooter games that have a huge dose of absurdity and whimsy in it and if you like the sound of this game, then Borderlands is a game you'll need to play!
Half Life 2: Episode One
Half Life 2: Episode One is the first standalone game in Valve's spin-off trilogy for its game series, Half Life. Featuring a gameplay that closely resembles Half Life 2, its namesake, this game provides loyal fans of the game a nice continuation (somewhat) in the series' storyline. Similar to Half Life 2, this game has a lot more scripted scenes as well as puzzles and strategic combat rather than simply adding in more aliens for you to fight and weapons for you to fight with.Despite its rather short game duration, Half Life 2: Episode One gives its hardcore fans something to chew on as they wait - endlessly - for a Half Life 3. And naturally, being released in 2006, the game has a more polished look. To be honest, it's a great alternative game to Half Life 2.
