It's not good, but holy hell the AI in the original "Half-Life" was brilliant. What the hell happened there? :/

****in' A. :| I'm with the guy that said it sounded like she jumped at the opportunity to lead a design team. More power to her though, and I wish her the best. I'm having a hard time seeing this as an impact at all on "Portal 2" though. "Portal" was a Valve game, and as such I'm still...

I'd love to have seen more "human" weapons that had been modified to some extent by the Combine. I know the AR2's development is probably an imitation of our ballistic technology since it would seem all the Combine know how to do is assimilate and build-on to existing technology, and it's kind...

I'd very much like the AI back. Still trying to figure out what's so great about Adrian, besides his name.

Wow, I see this "Hard Rain" campaign being designed around an industrial setting, and I see the "Dead Center" campaign being set around a shopping mall, and I just go all facepalm. Unless Valve are trying to be completely trite with their campaign titles, "Dead Center" given to the industrial...

The Lamarckian mindset is actually a pretty fresh idea for an alien species' evolutionary strides, imo. Sure it was controverted to a great degree of success by Darwin, but it's not impossible, and it has at least occured once, recently, in some caterpillars iirc. It sounds kinda pedestrian on a...

Oh, well, that certainly makes more sense. Nah, though, not now.

Natch, that kinda goes without saying since it's based on improving everything about the original and essentially replacing it. I understand the reason for updating the original I guess, since it's inevitable that players will dislike the new additions, whether or not they're supposed to enhance...

Don't understand why anyone would want to continue playing Left 4 Dead if Left 4 Dead 2 is supposed to be everything L4D was, but, well, better. :/ I still think Valve acquired Turtle Rock a bit late in L4D's development cycle, and while Valve may have polished a bit, I think a good deal of...
