Orwell: Keeping an Eye on You vs Vanquish
Orwell: Keeping an Eye on You
Orwell: Keeping an Eye on You is set in a dystopian future society where apparently the all-seeing "Big Brother" top-secret governmental security program, named Orwell, has become a reality and his sole and direct handler is you! With all the information, unknowingly supplied to Orwell and hence, to you by the individuals within a fictional city, you'll need to weed out the noise and find the important information that is related to the recent series of terror attacks. These information will then be relayed to security forces who will then carry out the necessary action. So, the information you supply will affect the lives of some or perhaps even all of the people in your city.In some way, Orwell: Keeping an Eye on You is a game that is designed to make you experience what it'd be like to be one of those hapless sims who are just going about their day without knowing how much of their personal information have been harvested by the government, even if it's for the greater good, and how these very info can sometimes help or mislead government officials to take excessive counter-action.
Vanquish
Vanquish puts you into the shoes of government operative, Sam Gideon, who is part of the elite group of operatives that has their own Augmented Reaction Suit which give them superior firepower, superhuman speed and agility as well as a certain amount of suave as they take down groups of hostile and deadly robots. The combat system in this game is incredibly well-made and unique. Aside from having a bullet time system, it also provides players with a smooth gameplay, be it when they are performing kinetic melee moves or when they are trading gunfire with the robots.However, many players have mentioned about the flaw when it comes to weapon upgrades in this game. Unlike most games, you actually have to be equipping the correct gun type in order to pick up the upgrade cube, which randomly appears. It does provide players with the incentive to keep replaying the game but it can be pretty frustrating if you had to give up picking up a hard-earned cube because you don't have the weapon you need.
Besides this downside though, Vanquish is among the top-most third-person shooters that have excellent, well-designed mechanics. If you enjoy smooth combat and a cool and somewhat Halo-like suit, then this is definitely the game for you!
