Halflife 2 is absolutely amazing

for people who wanna see some shaky cam videos, then you can download them from http://www.swoof.net/hl/

i bought it off of steam already, and CS:Source runs amazingly. Definetely one of the best games ever. And as for ratings, PC Gamer in the US game HL2 a whopping 98%!!!

I'm waiting for it to come out, but don't know how much i'll play it when it does come out ;) Only because I spend most of the time I have to play games playing Counter-Strike.

Both Half-Life 2 and CS: Source both look like they're going to be great games.

I'll wait until I can do it justice by having Video Array. :twisted:

Video Array, Alienware’s exclusive patent-pending innovation, is a hardware and software solution that enables two off-the-shelf PCI-Express video cards from any manufacturer to process graphics commands in parallel, thus increasing graphics performance by up to 100%.
That's crazy. If only I had more money and could justify the purchase... :)

The only games I'm waiting for are Doom 3 on Xbox in a couple days, and Halo 2 on Xbox in just about a month. 8)

I can't stand to be at a computer for gaming and work anymore.

I can say one thing for sure: The bungie guys are a lot more fun to be around, most of the time. Plus Jason Jones is a brother in ACiD (old skool) ;) .. as for the half-life guys, I love 'em, but they need more exposure.. I know they have fun at the office, but it's a lot more fun reading about how Halo is developing and whatnot instead of this virutal wall of silence. oh well.. I'll buy both, if I can. :)
