I had a few nice little times here and there over the years.

If only they could get back to this formula...

Scared the ever living piss out of me.

Five stars for not being able to believe this actually exists and that I own a pristine copy. Michael! The echoing cries of the children as they are saved will forever be burnt into my mind.

Insanely difficult but gorgeous for the time.

Another very impressive source mod.

Especially worth playing the insane custom maps. Playing through the original half-life and it’s expansions was always a hell of an experience, especially when you get insta-gibbed by a glitched tram cart.

Put countless hours into this. I remember when the teaser image was released (which is the cover) and just how excited I was to hurl toilets at my enemies. Good god those Killbox maps with low gravity were the shit.

I was never a hardcore DayZ player, but I’ll never forget my early experiences playing it. The first time I heard a car driving by in the distance after I’d been crawling around the countryside for an hour, was strangely impactful. There was a real sense of being alone and desperate every time I’d log in.

I’ll always applaud games like this for trying something truly different.

I remember always wanting to play the “eatsa pizza” mini-game because I could always kick everyone’s ass at it.

Though the voice controls never worked too well, I loved the game.

I used to play the hell out of this online. Using that ps2 network adapter was really a special experience.

I remember when this was mentioned on G4 tv as a new “free” game worth checking out. Such a wonderful and timeless game.

I think it’s god damn magical. Never sank a lot of hours into it, but I really loved it when I did play it.
