Finish those old games while you still can

[SirOsisOfLiver]

Half-Life was great, but it didn't ruin me for older games.
In fact, I played some Dark Forces and Duke3D a couple of days ago.

I don't believe it will be any different with HL2; conceivably it will take up my playing time for the first week or so, but after that I fully expect to mix a good deal of Vice City, SoF2 Inf and legacy gaming into the recipe.

You make a good point. I suppose after watching a really great movie, I don't throw out the rest of my DVD collecition. Games that were great will always have that special place But I remember after playing Deux Ex , every other game seemed .. lacking. Games I haven'T finished yet , its likely i won't bother, and HL2 wouldn't be to blame
