It's been around for a few years but it still looks hot as ever, Fan boy bum it but they bum it becuase it's fucking sexy. It's like the Sasha Grey of video games. ------------------ I hope you like me and I fit in with your life.

It's dated - sure. I can run HL1 on my phone nowadays. But it doesn't FEEEEEEEEL dated. It looks a little old and jaded, but the Source updated one looks good enough to forgive. And the gameplay is just as every bit as excellent as it was before.

Half-Life 2: Classic. Half-Life Episodes: First is a bit short, but since it's more of the same action, very good indeed. Second one is GREAT. I loved hooning around in the mutant Charger, battling striders and running over those horrid new three legged enemies. What bastards. I just finished E2 for the first time this evening, so yeah, I'm still high off it. Great stuff. The ending was a bit ------------------ Maindrian and Touge's videos of vague annoyance - Est. 2007

Anyway, Valve has always been really tight-lipped with things in development. You'll see shiznit right befo' the game comes out and DATS IT BRAH MAYNE. It's going to be good. *WHAT IS HIDDEN IN THE DEPTHS OF THE BOREALIS, GORDON???*

Or have I missed more than that? ------------------ Maindrian and Touge's videos of vague annoyance - Est. 2007
