New Game + | Blending into the background

Andrew Passafiume: "As an interactive medium, games have a lot of opportunities to tell stories in different ways that differ from the standard movie-like cutscenes you would expect. A lot of Valve’s games, Half-Life and Portal most of all, do a great job of immersing you in the story while still allowing for player control. That is a great way to seamlessly blend the narrative with gameplay, but my favorite storytelling method is actually something that is even more reliant on player interaction than any other. It answers the question: How do you tell a story without directly telling a story?"

Have to love the PC modding scene. Constantly turning old games to new, and not charging you for remasters and remakes. I have played amazing releases like Enderal, Nameless Mod, and Fallout London that truly did deserve to be full-on retail releases.

Can't remember the last time I played a quality first person shooter. Miss those A to B shooters, rather than have all the faffing on. But never understood Half-Life. Can't remember much of the first game, but the sequel on Xbox bored me. I guess some gamers have bad taste.

Half-life is very much an A to B shooter. I assume your talking about the Orange box, which had HL2//Portal//TF2 all on one disc. I remember playing through it on the 360 and did not enjoy it, mainly because it ran at 20fps most of the time.
I highly recommend playing it through the HL series on PC, the way they were intended to be played, its a masterpiece.
