Free Realms vs Half Life 2: Episode One
Free Realms
Free Realms is a child-friendly 3D virtual world game by Sony Entertainment where you can meet and chat with new friends, explore the beautiful world and possibly discover hidden secrets, as well as enjoy a mini-game or two competitively with other players in the game and climb up the leaderboard with your best high score. You are even given a virtual home in this game that you can then customize and organize a party in.Unfortunately, Free Realms is currently available on the Playstation platform, and although there is an unofficial PC reboot coming soon, it's still in its alpha phase and may take a while to finally be launched to the public.

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.
