Dragon Age: Origins vs My Shelf: My Choice, My Episode
Dragon Age: Origins
Dragon Age: Origins is the first game in one of the most highly-acclaimed game series, Dragon Age. The game seems to combine all the great elements of a traditional RPG with an epic storyline set in a gorgeous open world that will truly put your morality and decision-making skills to the test. In some way, the game does bring to mind the immersiveness of the Fable series as you'll be able to actually mold your character's personality and morality based on every single decision you make. The host of characters in this game is pretty amazing as well. Their personalities are very well-crafted and this makes them relatable, and hence, realistic.That's not all, the game features an exciting and engaging combat system that will see you fighting enemies of all shapes and sizes... and of course, dragons. Being one of the last Grey Wardens, you also possess incredible magical powers and skills that further augments the game's melee combat. Due to the game's 3-person party-based system, the game's combat system even has a special "paused" function where you can issue individual orders to your allies for a more coordinated but equally fast-paced action combat.
Dragon Age: Origins is the sort of game that can hold its own even after years since its release. In fact, we dare say this game might already made it into the list of modern classics. If you love a rich story and a fun action RPG, this is definitely the game to buy.
My Shelf: My Choice, My Episode
My Shelf: My Choice, My Episode is a mobile game that is quite similar to Episodes or Choices where you'll get to "experience" various stories and influence how the story goes by picking dialogue choices or making important appearance-based decisions based on what you wear and how you look. Whether you like the idea of engaging in high school drama or fall for a mysterious yet suave vampire, this game has all of these stories and more! New chapters and stories are also added on a weekly basis, so you'll definitely have enough stories to read and enjoy.Unlike the other story apps though, My Shelf doesn't seem to have a section that allows players to create their own stories. Maybe this is a feature that will be added in later down the road. After all, the game already has all the elements in place for such a feature.
So, overall, My Shelf: My Choice, My Episode is a pretty decent alternative to games like Episodes or Choices despite lacking a pretty key feature which allows players to create their own stories and share them with the community.
