Cytus vs Half Life 2
Cytus
Cytus is a fun and challenging, rhythm mobile game that has a rather striking futuristic/sci-fi theme and an intriguing story about how future robots try to save the human emotions they contain from being erased by storing them in the form of music. Cytus is the place where the music will eventually be kept.In terms of gameplay, the controls are easy to learn since there are, at most, 3 types of notes, but there are multiple ways of tapping on those 3 notes. Aside from its intuitive Active Scan Line system, Cytus also features over 200 songs and 400 variations of said songs. However, don't expect to be bip boppin' to the latest hits though. The songs are mostly just music (no singing) and they are often from the dance/electronic genre, though there are some from other genres, like pop, jazz, and trance, too.
Cytus is perhaps the first mobile game of its kind to include a really profound storyline in addition to its incredibly-addictive rhythm-based gameplay. If you're looking for a fun rhythm game for your mobile, this is definitely a game you'll want to play.
Half Life 2
Half Life 2 is the exciting sequel to the original Half Life game and is also the inspiration for a new Half-Life-based spin-off series. The game took the suspense, the challenge and the momentum of the first game and added in a much improved and realistic graphics and responsiveness that removes a lot of the clunkiness that old games often experience.The story also continues where it was left off before, with the crowbar-wielding scientist Gordon Freeman who now finds himself in an Earth that is not only infested with aliens but is also slowly decimated by them. He now needs to make amends for the incident back in Black Mesa and at least save the people that he cares about.
Half Life 2 is a great sequel, but it is unfortunately the last... at least for the Half Life series. On the bright side, you can somewhat continue the storyline through the spin-off games Half Life 2: Episode 1 and 2.
