Half Life 2: Episode One vs Halo 2
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.
Halo 2
Halo 2 follows on from the events of the first game, and takes you on a trip into the Covenant as well as following the story of the Master Chief. The Elite Commander of the last fleet to engage the humans at the Halo Ring is disgraced and on trial, but this leads to him becoming the Arbiter, a source of justice among the races. Meanwhile the Master Chief and Cortana fight for control of Earth after an attack by one of the Elders of the Covenant. This is merely the start of your adventure here and another chapter of the epic story unfolds before you as you set off across the cities of Earth and the Stars to stop what could be the end of everything you know.Once more you have a stunning first person shooter full of action, new skills and weapons to use and the ability to duel wield small arms for unparalleled firepower. With all the gameplay you love, and a new online version of the split screen multiplayer you can enjoy the campaign with friends and take part in ranked matches online. All in all a brilliant game with much critical acclaim this was and still is an epic sequel.
