This is way off topic I know. However the big news of the desktop world last week was that both Half-Life 2 and Halo 2 were released within approximately 1 week of each other. I wanted to know what you Pocket PC addicts out there preferred as your favorite game between the two of these? VS.
I have to admit I am a fan of Half-life since the first version and I played almost every other version of it including Counterstrike, Team Fortress classic, day of defeat and simply half-life multiplayer. Unfortunately, I never really caught the Halo bug. However I know that Halo has quite a following.
I was one of the people who joined the steam network and counterstrike within one day of its release. Have started playing Half-Life 2 last week as soon as it was available. Half-life 2 is just as creepy if not more so than the first. I find myself getting rather jumpy while playing considering the environmental effects are far more intense, the sound effects more sinister and the enemies much more scary. It is an adrenaline pumping ride if you're interested in first-person shooters.
So are there any Halo 2 fans in the Pocket PC Addict world? If so why don't you chime in with your opinion and rundown of the new game? Speak up addicts! We wanna know which does the Pocket PC world prefer Halo 2 or Half-Life 2?
Well Half Life II is coming soon, and although I don't have a xbox, I've played Halo II and it's a great step up from Halo I, more fun and better looking, it's a great game. I've played Half Life I, and it was a fun game, Half Life II from the screenshots looks to be awesome. I can't wait to get my hands on it.
I have to say HL2. If HL was the best game ever, as some say, then HL2 has to be better. So far HL2 has got me really freaked out. I am enjoying it, even if it is terrifying, and very hard at some points.
I have seen videos of Halo 2, and it may be different to play it, but it looks sort of lame compared to Half Life. It seems more run and gun, and just not as visually, or aurally exciting.
Well, I have been following the development of HL2 for some time now and am so egerly awaiting it! Its HL2 all the way for me! and yeah i havent played Halo atall though, and i know MS has put a lot into this game, but then... i think the HL2 engine is going to be the most powerful FPS engine seen to man
I downloaded the demo version for the original Halo, and I found it to be decent in some spots and just okay in others. I have no idea at all why it got a mature rating. It seemed like the aliens were kind of fluorescent, nonthreatening entities who died in fairly nonviolent ways. However they gave that M rating for some reason.
Anybody know why it got a mature rating?
it just dawned on me -- did you all know that half-life 2 is actually out?!
You can head over to steam right now, buy it download it and be playing in an hour or two!

DELIVER is the keyword there. I think it's great to be able to get instant delivery, but the endless "authentication" and verification tricks are getting on my nerves.
Once they authenticate that it's you, and you bought the game, WHY must they continue to do that every time you play?
