It looks incredible, and I like the 'cartoony' look to it. This was an incredibly popular game for HL1, and TF2 was reportedly in development for years - it was the #1 'vaporware' program for a few years. This release will be bundled with 2 new badass games (single player only): Portal, which seems like a totally new type of game altogether.Īlso - Team Fortress 2. The other, and what I'm anxiously awaiting: Half-Life 2: Episode 2, which covers Gordon escaping City 17. Sources such as GameSpy, The Cincinnati Enquirer, The New York Times, and gave it perfect scores, and others, such as PC Gamer, IGN, GamesRadar, and Eurogamer, gave near-perfect scores. Half-Life 2:Episode 1 is already available - it covers the aftermath of the Citadel getting taken out. Half-Life 2 has an aggregate score of 96/100 on Metacritic it is tied with the first Half-Life and Grand Theft Auto V (2013) for the best-reviewed PC game. And for the Hardcore HL fans: Black Mesa Source. Although the PVK mod team is the slowest mod ever. SUHD +7 1 Sonic Unleashed (X360/PS3) MKWii +6 Mario Kart Wii. The best Source mod available on Steam is indeed Pirates, Knights and Vikings II. SM:SD +10 Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions.

Not sure if you were aware of this, but instead of making 'Half-Life 3', they decided to make a 3 part 'episodic' game released more frequently. I really enjoyed the Empires 2.0 mod for Half Life 2.

:-)Īt any rate - two more suggestions: Half Life 2: Episode 1. and I get pissed off getting pwned by 8 year olds. I began playing CounterStrike when it was in its earliest release, which was what, 1999 or so? I loved it and was pretty good at it, but now when I try to play it's a bunch of little children screaming over the voicecomm. There seems to be more 'mature' people playing it, for the most part. Cyrus, SMOD looks pretty cool, I hadn't heard of that - thanks for pointing it out.Īlso, chunking: I second Day of Defeat.
