it's about time you did this. Half-life was fantastic. For me it's gameplay was almost quadrupled by the single player mods added in at later dates, as well as multiplayer mods. I only wish that half-life source had been a total graphic overhaul :)

Of course the 'regulars' will go crawling back for their 13th installment of final fantasy, their 8th installment of metal gear (or whatever number it's up to now), 5th installment of tekken...yawn. I'm at odds with them for not acquiring franchises for the system that do not repeat themselves over and over again. I remember when innovation meant a lot in video games, so you saw different kinds of games come out, even genre's created. Instead what we have are a few companies recognized for doing one thing well, and throwing out fodder for desperate fans to scoop up without a second thought. I'm a gamer, and I want innovation. The industry has matured, but at the same time it takes a stagnant step backwards and limits itself to one title, over and over again, in a play for easy money. I simply will not find myself impressed by graphics or sequels at this point. I'm not impressed by your very large price tag either, higher cost =/= better. Show me something that reassures me that you're not milking your old genre's for every squeezable pint of monetary blood and I'll be right back on that wagon, like I was years ago, when X-com and Discworld hit playstation 1.

What I want to know is -how- are they taking out the hardware that runs ps2 games that was included in the american/japanese versions of the console and -not- putting a price cut on the system due to it's absence. Less material = cheaper to make right?

COLTS WIN! It's good to be right. Nice guesses guys. Both teams played well and grats to the Colts for the win. kinda blew my 21-14 colts prediction out of the water when they started to run away with it in the 4th quarter.

21 Colts - 14 Bears Bears are a great team but are completely set up for the 'choke' after a lackluster close to the season and a near miss to the Seahawks. (In contrast the Saints where humiliated by them). Alex's Patriot fan prediction isn't funny. Not even the 5th time you hear it :P
