Earlier today Valve released Half-Life 2 onto the Mac. That’s right, it only took 6 years, 5 months and 21 days before Mac users actually got to play one of the best first person shooters ever made and yes, I am one of those Mac users. Now like most people I have already played my fair share of Gordon’s first trek through City 17 but that was over 5 years ago on an outdated PC, even by 2005’s standards. Today I’m rocking a pretty hefty Quad-Core MacPro with all the fixings and thanks to Valve, now a computer that can run games without burning out my video card.
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
I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.
the first one is abit the odd one out but after u finished it, believe it it gets tremendously better and better
Retro gaming console emulator apps are now welcome on the Apple App Store and can even offer downloadable games.
Yep most probably
Definitely infact
It’s just since apple got official dualsense support a while ago, (ios 14.5, it was 2 years ago now) I thought it useful to post here
The beaten quite a few prolific companies the past like universal so it's not unwinable
From systems that could keep your beer cool, to oddities trying to get in on the popularity of VHS and laserdisc, you’ve got some very, very weird video game consoles out there.
I had the LaserActive... it was a nice collectors piece but not very practical. Especially when it came to needing recapping. I think i paid all of about $50 for the floor model from an incredible Universe back in the day. I ended up selling it many years later for $300 at the time due to it needing a new laser and the aforementioned recapping.
An honorable mention not on the list would be the VM Labs Nuon. It basically looked like any regular DVD player but it had ports on it for controllers to play specific games. one of which is still exclusive to it with Tempest 3000. It also offered nuon enhanced DVD movies with extra content not accessible by regular players.
i would hope that a $1,500+ machine can run HL2...its good to see that no problems arose while this guy tested the game...a classic that should not be missed out on
