HL2SP: Black Mesa
Obligatory news post. Though you must have been living under a rock if you haven't heard about this yet.

Black Mesa (formerly Black Mesa: Source) is a modern remake of the classic Half-Life on the Source engine which took the team eight years to finish. Largely faithful to the original levels, but with some variation and reinterpretation in parts to keep it fresh, as well as awesome details and visual improvements. The Xen part is missing unfortunately; it may be done and released at some later point.

The Source SDK 2007 is required to run this TC.

Home Sick Yesterday 
...with my leg elevated all day. Played the first section of Black Mesa (finally) with a Steam controller. Was well worth it. Haven't played HLSP since it's release. I know it's old news but it's a very solid experience but it feels weird to not have Alyx Vance with you. 
Black Mesa 
The best remake of any FPS ever.

The details, the details are great! Loved the lambda labs section and the rokm with all the monitors just before the end teleport chamber.


Nit picks though:
No cockroaches to squish
What happened to part of surface tension
The soldiers shoot you way way too quickly once they see you and have perfect aim.

Nit best picks:
Oh my gosh the blue tarped crates when you break them and the tarp floats down gently!
Pick up a potted plant and the leaves wave as you move!
The soundscapes are amazing.
Lots of good details that remind me of the factory I work at, e.g. custom mugs, lots of poster boards, dingy industrial areas.

Looking forward to zen to see what they do to make it less Mario and more Freeman. 
 
last time I played it Xen was missing and the gameplay was garbage, pure garbage (not fun at all, didn't felt like the original at all)

the recreations were amazing though
