Default For the video game peeps....

I just finished Half Life 2, and it is without a doubt, the best, most beautiful, and most engrossing game I have ever played. (and Ive played A LOT) Halo, Halo 2, San Andreas (I have them all) dont even hold a candle to this game. Anyone else gave it a go? What do you think?

I loved it. It was the first game I tried on the pc and I haven't played any of those type of games since ps1 so I was blown away. The only negative I found was that I was always wanting to play it instead of studying or reading

Any tips on a game to follow on with?

Cool, I might have to try it. I really prefer online games (been a huge fan of tribes 2), but I'm looking for something new now.

Anyone played Tribes Vengeance? Hows it compare to T2?

I thought the ending was pretty cool. I kinda like when endings leave you hanging and thinking. There are many cool things throughout the gam that is worth replaying. The G-Man appears throught the game, and those times help to explain the end. For those who live good games, and havent played it, run put and get it NOW.

One more thing, this game cannot be copied, so you need to buy an original one.

Considering the game has electronic registration everytime its started...the only way you can get it to work, would be to input the exact info that the actual owner signed up with. There is no way around the steam registration. However, I would love to know how you did it.....

Yes there is.

I don't know the details of how it is done because I dont do it but look around on torrent websites and you will find that they have programs that alter the .dll files etc to emulate the changes that occur with steam registration. Once you have done this it also stops the program from trying to contact steam or you can just play offline to ensure there is no contact.

I don't know how to do it but there are also cracked servers for CS:S that allow ripped games to play online.
