Crysis 2 vs Half Life 2: Episode One
Crysis 2
Crysis 2 lets you put on the incredibly high-tech nanosuit once again and reprise your role as the defender of humanity against the alien threat that is growing by the day. Use the suit's upgraded abilities, ranging from invisibility to bonus armor and to power boost, as well as an arsenal of weapons to tackle various aliens in the urban landscape of New York City. The gameplay is also pretty similar to Counter Strike or Call of Duty so don't go in expecting cover-based shooting like Ghost Recon's games.Similar to the first Crysis game, Crysis 2 no longer has servers to support its multiplayer function. Regardless, the game is still a gem and if you love Crysis, you'll want to get this game as well.
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.
