Since I only have an Intel 4400 card in my laptop I decided to stick to a few old games that I have in my Steam library. I decided to replay Half Life 2 since the last time I played it was on the Xbox 360.
The source engine is showing its age. It has been 9 years since Valve released Half Life 2. The weapons are still underpowered, and not being able to peak around corners still bothers me. I think it's ridiculous that you don't see Gordon's hards when he's riding in his buggy and little boat. The way he climbs ladders is still silly, and smashing crates to find ammo gets old fast.
With that said I'm still enjoying the game. The Half Life 2 world is interesting. The action pieces in the game still bring a lot of tense moments. You become attached to the characters in the game. It makes you want to push on to find out what happens next. The gravity gun kicks ass, and the physics engine is still awesome.
Played 4 hours straight last night. I was up till 3 am. I haven't gamed that late in a long while.
