Millions of Dead Combine

I finally finished my playthrough of Half-life 2 and its episodes last weekend. No, it didn’t take that long to play it – I just took long breaks between the game and the separate episodes. Half-life 2 has never been one of my favorite FPSes for various reasons but it’s damn good and it still holds up quite well, especially Episode 2 which I feel goes along way towards fixing the slow pacing of the original game. I can’t wait for Episode 3… or Half-life 3… or whatever. Anyway, enough blabbing… here’s some screenshots! As usual click them to view the full resolution versions.

POW! Right in the Kisser!

Sometimes I just can't restrain myself...
“Sometimes I just can’t restrain myself…”

Poor bastard was standing in the wrong place when I downed the gunship!
“Poor bastard was standing in the wrong place when I downed the gunship!”

Just beautiful.
“Just beautiful.”

Ouch.
“Ouch.”

Just one more rocket!
“Just one more rocket!”

Boom!
“Boom!”

You'd almost think I'd remember this part wouldn't you?

About to be saved by Alex.

We have liftoff!
“We have liftoff!”

Fall Release Schedule Blues

Ughh… It’s that time of the year again. Way too many good games coming out at one time – I still haven’t recovered from this time last year! *eyes unplayed copies of Gears of War 2, Fable 2, and Dead Space on his shelf* In no particular order we have: Brutal Legend, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Assassin’s Creed 2, Mass Effect 2, Dragon Age: Origins, Borderlands, Torchlight, GTA: The Ballad of Gay Tony, etc. never mind the recently released games that I haven’t bought yet such as Batman: Arcum Asylum and Red Faction: Guerrilla. Ugh… So little time (and money) but so many awesome games.

Funnily enough of all of these games one of the ones I want to play the most is the newly release Fallout 3: Game of the Year edition (on PC of course.) I’ll be buying that one soon but I’d still like to finish up Garn’s Oblivion adventures before jumping into it.
