Well, I’m never going to play through Half-Life 2 and Episode One on the 360 after all this time, so I thought I’d start off Episode Two. Seems pretty good so far, in a “more or the same” kind of way. Just finished an antlion siege, which was more fun than I expected it to

While waiting for Psychonauts to download I decided to play some Half-Life 2, as it was in the drive. Really was the best and worst of the game in one small sitting. Some excellent fights against the Combine, some fun head crab shooting and then some really annoying bits with stupid physics puzzles and annoying

Half-Life 2 today. Just an hour of it, so I’ve not got far. The only gun I have is the pistol. It does look very nice on the 360 and plays fine, too, but it’s not been very exciting so far. If it doesn’t pick up I may just skip it and go on to

Stupid confusingl-named games. This comes after Half-Life 2 and is the first episode of a continuing series of smaller chunks of gaming. Just had an hour with it, of which half was spent decrypting and updating game files. Slightl annoying, but I’ve learned to live with these things. And it’s really good so far. The

Well, it now looks about 24% prettier and 72% smoother and the stress test averaged 67.8 frames per second. Somewhat more importantly, it’s still ten minutes of pure gaming goodness. Rather like the demo of the original Half-Life which was a concentrated shot of pure excellence and better than the full game. (Oh, and, yes,
