AwesomeAaron:
Both Katamari games. I finally found a kick who is willing to give up his PS2 for me to play Katamari. I drunk now so I go play it. but PS2 no is hooked up I hope I hook it up right.[/img]
Inlander:
Just finished playing Half-Life 2 for the first time.
. . . Holy shit.
Switchblade:
That was my reaction
In fact, that whole game was just one big "holy shit" moment for me.
highlights:
the start of "Point Insertion" - "Rise and, shine, mis-ter Freeman... rise and... shine....Not, to imply that you have been.. slee-ping on the job. No-one is moredes-erving of a resthan you...." The new voice for the G-Man is just too damn cool.
The smokestack in "Water Hazard" I hear it IS possible to get under it, but I've never managed it...
The whole of "Dark Energy" from start to finish.
Inlander:
For me, there were two stand-out sections:
The very beginning, before you even get any weapons, when you start to realise that it's possible for a game to look better than even your wildest dreams would have dared to imagine;
The fight against the striders in the streets of the city, especially the final fight where bits of the scenery are being blown up around you, and you have to throw out all of your previous gaming experience that tells you that walls are safe to hide behind, because they cannot be destroyed.
Oh, and attacking Nova Prospekt with the antlions.
But even with the best graphics and the best physics imaginable the game wouldn't be worth much if it wasn't really gripping and atmospheric. I actually got emotionally involved in it, especially at the end where the rebels are dying around you and everything's falling to pieces, and that's a first for me with a computer game.
Switchblade:
Hells yes. In "Dark Energy" when you're heading down into the reactor, and Alyx presses herself against the glass to watch for as long as possible...
Or that bit in "Red Letter Day" when she kisses her dad on the cheek. There was a moment in "Anticitizen One" when one resistance member is comforting a terrified comrade. That spoke volumes. There was a whole story there.
I seriously had chills at all kinds of moments in that game.

Absolutely. I'd give anything to see the reaction of an avid gamer who's been in a coma since 1998 being exposed to HL2 for the first time...
