I don't think Half-Life 2 should have won the best graphics award. I think that goes to Doom 3. I mean, seriously folks. Half-Life 2's great, but they specifically lowered the bar a bit with their graphics in order to have wider system support. I don't even think Half-Life 2's art direction...

Are you talking about technical or artistic merit? Artistic substance (plot, atmosphere, overall feeling): Half-Life Technical merit (modability, graphics, visual quality): Half-Life 2

I've been rather critical of some of Valve's policies in the past but I gotta say, I'm just giddy over this. Nice work Valve, not just on deathmatch (which seems to work perfectly) but also on being able to keep a straight face for so long even though you knew what you had up your sleeve...

Yeah, I sorta hope it's Day of Defeat: Source as well. Counter-Strike: Source is pretty awesome, but it's just not my bag. HL2DM would be interesting, but it would be ashame that all those mod teams out there getting excited about their HL2DM mod would be outta luck. The SDK hasn't even come...

I think it would only decrease the frequency of loading, not necessarily speed it up (unless you happened to be upgrading to a motherboard that could handle DDR or DDR2 at the same time).

Yeah, game companies have been doing this for a while and also have seen their efforts promptly made void by crackers around the globe. Valve actually had a good plan to combat this. It was called Steam, and now that it has been put fully into motion (assigning one CD key to each Steam...

This is a bullshit argument. To the consumer, the point-of-view that any rational, non-money-grubbing company would consider these days, the amount of money forked over is the same. We are paying the same amount and getting less. So yeah, great! If you bought through Steam to do your part...

I think it's so funny how there's actually people supporting Valve on this issue. If you are doing this, listen very carefully: YOU ARE A FANBOY. It is utterly rediculous how Valve has chosen to handle store-bought copies of this game. I specifically got a retail copy because I didn't like...

I think wallshooting is good stuff. What I don't want to see, however, is your player's movement speed being reduced to a crawl as you're taking damage. It's never been fun for me in Counter-Strike when this is happening (wallshooting has always compounded the effect too) and I honestly DON'T...

Am I the only one that was put under circumstances where they were not allowed to refund their retail copy and is now basically ****ed? As far as I can tell, I will have to pay extra for Half-Life: Source (which I was quite excited about when I heard of its existence) and I will have to pay...

Wtf? God...this video review was like...4 minutes long? The one for Halo 2 was about 20 minutes. What the hell? They really seem to have spent little to no effort in making the review of this game worthwhile to read or view.

Maybe I would be constructive, if that concept art wasn't so shockingly exact to H.R. Giger's work set forth in the Necronomicon...I'm sorry but it really is just a little too similar (the picture in the middle anyway).

Ahh, so Xen is now just a ripoff of LV-421?

I'm all for this...post counts shouldn't influence peoples' opinions of what you have to say (as they no doubt do).
