Games I am currently playing

  • Team Fortress 2
Tf2 needs no introduction I have been playing it almost every day since its release almost a year ago.

  • Halflife: Decay
Halflife: Decay is a cooperative 2 player game that was included with Halflife when it was released for the playstation 2 in 2001. It was only included in the ps2 release, valve was planning a PC version but it was canceled for reasons "beyond their control". A group of people managed to extract the maps from the ps2 version onto the PC and using this method ported the game to PC, albiet 7 years later. It holds up suprisingly well though, it uses the high definition model pack that came with blue shift, so the character models actually look very good for the half life engine. Its fun playing it for the first time so many years later, because its like I am getting to play half life for the first time, its the first offical halflife game in awhile, of course the PC version isn't official, but decay is new for a lot of PC-only gamers. I think its exciting for fans of the original half life because you get to visit places that were in the original game, and theres more story, plus its really fun playing with a friend.

  • Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People episode 1

    Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People is a game based on the internet cartoon Homestar Runner. I have been a fan of the homestar runner since 2002 or 2003, I think thats when it came out, because I was still a junior in high school. The game is basically an old school adventure game, but its hilarious! The graphics look really good too, its kind of simplistic but they use neat effects like panning the camera and zooming around. It was only $8.95 and they have a second episode out now. But I want to beat this one first :D
