Half-Life Redux

I can pick out my favorite game on any given gaming platform: Ocarina of Time for the N64, Yoshi's Island for the SNES, Super Mario Bros. 3 for the NES, Mario Kart DS for the Nintendo DS...

And Half-Life for the Windows PC. When Half-Life 2 came out in 2004, I immediately wanted a remade version of 1998's Half-Life done in the new Source engine that Valve created. Now I have it, in the form of Black Mesa.

The official trailer for the independent Source mod Black Mesa has finally been released, and I love every minute of it. Half-Life fans owe it to themselves to watch this trailer. I hope (expect, actually) Valve to scoop up these developers and release the game on Steam. Would I pay full price to play a ten-year old game? When it looks like this, absolutely.


B3 out.
