Half Life 2: Episode One vs Halo Reach
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 Reach
Halo Reach is one of the best spin-offs from the award-winning Halo series. Set in a whole new planet called Reach, the UNSC is attempting to deny the Covenant a hold on the planet and in its defense, they have sent their best team yet, the Noble Team. Joining the team as their sixth member, you'll need to work with your comrades and defend Reach from the hordes of the Covenant.Halo: Reach has been touted as being one of the best Halo game of all time mainly because of its amazing storyline and a gameplay that's fun and engaging. Aside from an impressive campaign, the game also features an addictive multiplayer aspect which includes a compelling 4-player co-op Firefight mode that, in fact, is one of the main highlights of the game. Despite being out for 7 years and counting, this game is still very well-loved by fans and critics alike.
