Here are the very first infos about the upcoming Cinematic Mod 2013, a brand new mod version of Half-Life 2 from the modder FakeFactory. CM 2013 “changed the old smoke explosions (moving alpha-texture planes, simple and ugly) to particle effects. Most outdoor maps are completely re-sculped with new dispalcements. Added Bumpmapping to most old (flat) textures” and many more. Check out more infos after the break and the first stunning Alpha Screenshots in the video below!
Video games are no longer just a simple past time. Today's games are evolving into true works of art. Offering intriguing narratives, cinematic setpieces, and profound messages, games can entertain us for hundreds of hours.
I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now
Given the medium's wild diversity, this primer of the essential video games everyone should try is a good place to start.
I can't fk with this list. They missed on alot of games probably before the writers times. Also I know people loved some portal but I was never a fan.
Tomb Raider 1
Driver 1
Abe’s Odyssey

Infinite but not the first two games? Witcher 3 but not the first two games?? GTA V but not literally any of the games before it??? Portal 2 but not the first? Also if you're going to play Shadow of The Colossus play the remaster and not the remake. Can't say I disagree with the list but my man it's all over the place.
Awesome list! Hot take on Fear (and it's hard af expansion Persaus Mandate!) Bioshock Infinite is stellar, so is the Witcher 3 and you nailed it by having Ocarina of Time. So many fantastic games! Gotta play 'em all! Next one on my list is Prey after I beat Dead Space 2 and Splinter Cell Conviction.
The 2024 Game Anniversaries include some major titles including Half-Life 2, Uncharted 2, and Minecraft.
I'm waiting for Half-Life 3. Please Valve!
Good work, an all time classic game like HL2 deserves to be kept looking it's best (especially until we get an HL3)
the source community is amazing..
i would totally play through half life 2 all over again
Source engine 2 isn't far away now, i personally don't like these kinds of mods. They only increase graphics a bit and are very poorly optimized giving low frame rates apparently.
It seems Valve may be testing the new engine on a L4D title, but i wonder if they'll do what they did with HL source and not upgrade the textures and models? i don't see much point personally other than to show off maybe particle effects and lighting, i'd rather see a game built on the engine instead.
Looks pretty, but most of those character models look nothing like their counterpart.
