Different FPSs for Different People?

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

When did this happen? I created a Steam Community a little while ago and in the profile it asks for your favorite game. I took less than a second to choose Half-Life 2, and that’s when it dawned on me: My favorite game has changed!

A Demo Rant

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

Gameplay And Story Idea Regarding Speech Recognition

I would like to explore an idea and a particular line of thinking. “What if the player were deaf?” By the player I don’t mean you or me but the actual character in the game. Real deaf gamers must have a hard enough time of it, without the playing character being deaf a well! You… Read More
