    Who here misses Half-Life

    I loved Half Life 1 and still love the new ones. Episode One was great. I can't wait until Black Mesa comes out. Modders are totally redoing the game with source graphics. Find the website and check out the progress thus far.

    HAIL to the Sierra Games

    Space Quest I and II were awesome even before they did the VGA conversions on them. All text based input and arrow key controls rocked! I remember taking a tour of Sierra On-Line and meeting Al Lowe the creator of Leisure Suit Larry.

    Did anyone else HATE the vehicle sequences in HL2

The buggy was kind of annoying but if it handled well that sequence would have been over before it started. I like the...

    Half-Life 2: Episode One

    I'm going home tonite to start pre-loading HL2: Episode 1. Can't wait to play it June 1st! I started pre-loading Sin: Emergence and have been playing the original version of SIN but it's pretty weak compared to the original Half Life.

    Star Wars: Empire at War DEMO OUT now > share your Impression of the demo :)

    Did anyone notice that alot of the quotes especially in the ground tutorials were almost exactly what they say in some of the Command and Conquer games? And they tend to get pretty annoying after about 10 minutes.
