IMO, HL-2 had a chance to define PC Gaming for Q4 2003 and most of 2004. However, the hacker-related delay caused it to be pushed back so far that other games have taken its place, and I don't think that HL2 will have the impact it could have. Call of Duty had the great guns-blazing teamplay...
Half-Life 2 and Deus Ex: The Invisible War are two completely different types of games. HL-2 is a basic balls-to-the-wall FPS where all you do is run and gun. DX:IW has more stealth, strategy, and RPG-like management. Both will be great fun, but it's like comparing apples and oranges.
I think...
I can't stand abbreviations. U instead of you, 2 instead of two, etc. It's not that hard to type out the full word, people. I also hate the lack of puncuation on the internet. Especially paragraphs made up of one sentence, and simple things such as capitalizing the beginning of each sentences...

The new Call of Duty Dawnville demo is extremely tense. Prone behind sandbags, a Panzer IV's machine gun spraying the ground around your cover, and Panzerfausts in a building only yards away. Fun stuff.
The Meatgrinder of Stalingrad is going to be incredible in that game. Jumping out of your...
I saw a screen of what looked like Hell in the PC Gamer "Great Shooter Shoot-Out" issue. Red glow to everything, the walls were rock and there were stalagmites hanging from the ceiling (or are those kind on the ground?). There was a pinky eating what looked like a thin zombie.
I've read...
I just can't believe how stupid some people are, judging the game and complaining about bugs from AN INCOMPLETE BETA! I didn't get it because I'm pretty sure playing it would completely ruin the game for me. What would be better, playing it prematurely and bug-ridden, with no real plot or...
Agreed, but the game is mostly close-quarters from what I've seen in screens. That's pretty much tunnel-shooting without much room to show off the physics.
Yeah, Thief II was great. That totally slipped my mind somehow. That game also had some really funny NPC conversations. How long is it until Thief III?
The Doom 3 alpha physics engine wasn't anything impressive, but that;s probably because it was a bloody alpha :P.
Plus, I don't think Doom 3 has an environment conducive to using the physics as a gameplay strategy. In the screens, the close-quarters hallways are rather sparse, and you can't...
I don't think you can really say Halo has AI at all. It's just a few if statements. If enemy is near, then shoot at floor aimlessly. That's about it, from what I've played...
I've never had a game scare me, ever. Some games might have made me jump, sure, but I was never actually scared. Can you guys honestly say that you've been scared by a game? I've tried to scare myself with Doom 3. Hell, I've played it at 1 AM, with the lights out. Nope, nothing. I was startled...
Yes, we can! Did you read the bloody thread AT ALL? Four people so far have proven the message to be a hoax. Why in the hell everyone ignores it is beyond me. I suppose they're so selfish that they want more of the leaked game, and they want it know. The pigheads don't want to think about the...
