bit short though.

But please, it's extremely try hard film noir at best :) 

anyone played this Dead Space game? 

but the holographic HUD is a cool idea. I heard it was a lot like doom 3 in 3rd person however, so I may wait until it hits the bargain bucket :)

I always presumed the try-hard was tongue-in-cheek, although it wasn't particularly witty or funny.

I tried replaying Max Payne 2 recently, but on the PS2 this time. Had a lot less fun than before, I mainly blame the controls, oh and the FUCKING LACK OF QUICKSAVE/LOAD OR ANY TYPE OF SLIGHTLY CONVENIENT SAVE SYSTEM. I especially love being taken back several chapters of the game when I die, silly me for expecting a single autosave thoughout the whole game. I need to lie down.

Got Max Payne2 for Christmas few years ago. Beat it in 3 hours. Not very satisfying tbh. 

It being far too short compared to the original as well. 

Sure, it was short but I find it hard to believe that it was 3 hours short on a first play through. 

yeah the developers were pretty lazy, there's even a few levels where you play through multiple times like that stupid fkn funhouse. but yeah... 3 hours on a first play through sounds a little low to me too. i guess if you skipped all the cinematics that would take an hour or two off. 

I liked it. Simple game but plenty of style. Was shortish but took me a lot longer than 3 hours. Certainly got plenty of playtime for my � as I do with almost any game. 

Looking back Max Payne 2 is still one of the best stories I ever played. Gotta play it again.
3 hours is a joke but maybe Zwiffle is so zwofflish that he zwuffled right through it.

I still haven't bought it though, cough. But I bought GTA:San Andreas and that piece of shit just does not end. So I guess I am even with the gaming industry dickheads. 

Hey, aren't you the guy who fell in love with Mona Sax? 

Yeah, quite embarrassing reading that old gibberish... 

thanks. I did do a search but didnt realise the game was so old :) 

negke: Post? Where is this little gold nugget hidden at? 

any links for HL 1 mods/editing info?

... I'm lazy, I know. 

I found this one really nice (but have to admit that I do not remember if I completed it, oops). If you like "post-nuclear" feeling, check it out: http://paranoia.level-design.ru/index_eng.htm

Nice review site: http://spmapcorner.blogspot.com/search/label/Half-Life 

i've never play it before and i must say it impressed me a lot, what the beautiful game :) 

Anyone played it? From the authors of painkiller 

I'm using the steam version of half life, but not the source version. Not sure if downloading mods/editing will be a pain in the ass to set up - anyone have any experience there? 

no problems here with the non source version. Some older mods though dont work with 1.08 updates onwards. 

Pulsar I didn't think it was gold yet? Looks awesome though, a bit of a RTCW ripoff, but who cares if it looks good and is fun. 

i wonder why no one tells anything about it, it's about a week in retail. my pc is too old to run it 

I got the demo at work. It doesn't run all that well, and the PC here is fairly decent. It was running well on a coworker's PC, and looked pretty much like Painkiller in WW1. Fight zombie Germans, ghosts, use two weapons at a time, run around a lot, etc. 

Is now an open beta, for anyone that missed the news. The site is totally swamped at the moment so I would leave it a while before trying to register if your interested :)
