T-minus one (week)

Having just finished Episode Two of the Half Life series (yes, welcome to last year) I feel confident enough to say "Um, what was so impressive about fighting the covenant combine towards the end?" Spoiler Alert: Driving around the last zone playing intergalactic dodge-ball against the striders felt less like Half Life and more like Halo. That isn't necessarily a good thing however!

I will say that the ending was GOOD. The last minute of the game was better for the story, your emotions towards the characters, and desire to play Episode Three (coming in 2 years, they swear!) than any other game I've played. Only Portals beats it for the most satisfying ending in history.

There are now 168 hours left until Uni starts again. That's alot of gaming I could be doing.
Shame I can't think of anything I could actually beat in that time. Sure, I could probably get the 60 stars in Mario Galaxies, if I had the game. Andrew, in the unlikely chance you read this, F*&K you for letting me play it, now it haunts me.
