    Two things so far...

    The auto detected advanced graphics settings were spot on

    It definately looks better, particularly the lighting

    I can't play until July 10th... ie the day I finish exams.

    Well, I say I can't - I'm not letting myself, not that I have time to anyway.
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    It's more embaressing for me, I remember the release date of HL2 by heart and remember going to buy it in the morning before doing pretty much anything else

    I remember I got it a few days before at a retailer, and then I was fortunately ill on the day of unlocking >;D best ill time ever, I was teasing my HL2-aholic mate who was in 6th form about the intro and the first parts of the game. He was 2manyjealous

    Thought HL2 was a bit disappointing and nowhere near as original or innovative as HL1 so I'll probably pass on the upgrades.

    Am downloading Sin:Episodes though in the hope of something different...

    completed

    was good, enemy AI seems to have improved, and the new zombines are a welcomed addition

    i want the gun that alyx has at first, seems to be a really fast pistol


    episode 2 looks the dogs! -after completing the game, go to new game, and the final chapter is a video for episode 2

    I've not got that far into the game yet, but I've seen a spoiler I wish I hadn't. I bet bledd knows which one I've seen, unless there are other big ones .
