If HL1 is still on the hard drive this is worth the download. Thankfully works with or without steam.

That looks fantastic and Half-Life v 1.1.1.0 or higher! It will look not as nice with 1.1.1.0 I guess but I wouldn't play it otherwise. :)

very nice :) 

im stuck on the floor where there's 3 switches and 4 poppables. nothinghappens when i press alll three switches :( 

needs assistance from floor 6. 

That was to be accompanied by a beer, not the red sign. 

wow, that last one was evil.

hmm, wish there were more cooperative only riddles. as it is now, it's a lot of 'point your mouse fast at next stairs' 

is to get 188 points. 

very nice. I was always a bit nervous while trying to get the 188 score but finally got it :)

metlslime: thank you a lot for the link

anyone got the highest score with 9 cursors only? 

it can be done wit 7 cursors :)

and I think 6 could also be possible with carefull planning but I won't try :) 

on the third try with 2 cursors left and 24 in the counter... 

Any views on this from Akella? 

Finished it. Was good fun until the last bit, i.e. final "battle" and ending, which was pretty much unfinished and weak and didn't explain anything. Kinda weird given how well set-up some of the gameplay was before that and how good some of the set-pieces were. Needed more umph and spectacle at the end.

But still a fun game. Put in the "quick blast of FPS" category.

Next....ummm Dark Messiah?? 

 

finished it, comments from before apply. Fucked health system and tedious combat situations. Add shonky camera at quite a few points and a lack of intuitive gameplay in parts (the first one did this aspect much better) and its more frustratin than fun.

Nice environements though, despite repetitve visits to same areas. 

as part of my 'research' into this genre, i tried this game out.

i was just wondering if anyone else had tried it.

i didn't play long, about 6 missions maybe, but it was still pretty fun, but also annoying at times.

graphics are alright, and i liked the slowerpaced combat. not being able to move wherever i wanted to annoyed the hell out of me though. you can only move to other objects, which takes some of the tactical feel out of the game. it also reminded me of sword of the stars which could have been amazing (taking the original Stars! but with nicer graphics and a little simpler control) but ended up as shit because you couldn't do a lot of things that made Stars! amazing. 

Hooray! Spam is awesome. 

-_- 

Ok. 

Just played this. Obviously I'm not into realistic warfare bollox but this is pretty damn cool. Pretty frantic and very atmospheric, and looks very good without any slow-down issues.

Hmmm, tempted tempted....

i suck though, http://youtube.com/watch?v=saN-LV379fI 

Just played through the demo, damn this is a great game! Very cinematic and atmospheric, and the over the shoulder camera is really great.

Combat is a bit too simple, to pull off combo attacks all you need to do is click the mouse at the correct time, this never really changes so combat can get a little repetitive quite quickly sadly.

I must say, the blood splatter you get on the ground when you slit someone's throat is by far the most realistic I have seen so far, yes maybe I do need some therapy :)

If you like action RPG's I would definitely check this one out!
