Poll Question 012 – Why do you play Single Player FPS games?

Single Player First Person Shooter Maps and Mods for Half-Life 1, 2 and Episodes 1, 2 and 3

This week’s poll asks a question that is probably too complex to have in a simple poll, but I thought I would ask it anyway. I’ve tried to give you choices that I think reflect the possible reason but I am sure you will need to comment.

Why do you play Single Player FPS Games?

To clarify, it’s not the FPS part that matters but the Single Player part.

Reviewing the Reviews

Introduction

This article will look at reviews. All I want to do is explore some questions, I will not be telling you how to write reviews because I am not qualified to do that. The purpose of this article is to be the catalyst to a deeper discussion. I don’t intend to provide answers, just ask questions.

It seems that almost everybody wants to read reviews about almost everything! In fact if you look at the majority of gaming websites you will find that reviews are a significant part of the content, and, in many fansites, they are the total content. What is it about reviews that people find so interesting?

Two Half-Lifes

About My second entry for the HL2Files.com contest. You can visit that page and see the other articles. You can’t vote for this one yet because it hasn’t been added. Half-Life is too accurate a name! Back in 2001 I was a big Unreal fan. I had downloaded as many maps as I could find… Read More
