Far Cry 3 - Blood Dragon vs S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl
Far Cry 3 - Blood Dragon
Far Cry 3 - Blood Dragon is a pretty fun standalone spin-off from the usual Far Cry series, mainly because it has a rather ridiculous but awesome-looking graphics (the game is set in a super-modern 80s, back when neon lights are very "in"), and partly because the game exaggerated the usual insanity that the franchise provides.In this game, you play as the Rambo-like Cyber Commando, Sergeant Rex Colt who is on a very straightforward mission - protect the girl, kill all enemies and save the world. The variety of baddies that you'll encounter in this game is simply incredible, ranging from cyborgs and mutants to aliens and Terminators. It's also nice that this game uses feedback for Far Cry 3 and improved plus streamlined its upgrade system.
If you're looking for a game that will throw you back to the VHS era, Far Cry 3 - Blood Dragon is the game you'll want to play.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl is the first of a hugely popular post-apocalyptic-themed, first-person, survival-horror shooter which might have just amassed a cult following. Set in 2012, almost two decades after the worst nuclear disaster occured at the Chernobyl power station and around 6 years after a second explosion rocked the damaged reactor, causing various anomalies to ripple open and from them came waves of mutated creatures, deadly radiation and also rare artifacts that are somehow imbued with powerful anomalous energy... artifacts that many would kill to have.Since then, the existence of such artifacts have brought forth groups of "stalkers", scavengers who scour the cordoned areas around Chernobyl for these very objects... and in this game, you play as one of them.
The game has risen to acclamation partly due to the terrifying, nightmarish creatures that the game contains, in addition to the brilliantly immersive storyline and an incredibly realistic game environemnt that's modelled after its real-world counterpart deep inside the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. The gameplay is excellent as well. The game has accurate ballstics and combat mechanics, as well as a challenging survival aspect that is further made difficult due to the impact day and night, and the weather system has on the environment. There is also a multiplayer mode that can support up to 32 players.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl has just celebrated its 10-year anniversary earlier this year and as such, many aspects of the game aren't really up to scratch by today's standards at least. If you do plan on getting this game, you might want to download some mods to help improve the game somewhat.
