Easter weekend and I had Good Friday off work, so managed to get a bit of gaming in. As I listened to the cast of Red Dwarf sans Craig Charles on FiveLive I played a bit of Half-Life 2 on the 360. This was a pre-order for me on the PC in 2004. My dad had to help me decipher the CD-key when I got it, and once we had it sorted I was immersed in the world of City 17.
It's a tad different on 360, there are a few tangible differences but it's all coming back. There are bits I'm not looking forward to, but generally it's a superb game worthy of anyone's time.
Played some more Team Fortress 2 on the 360 Thursday. The lads want to get serious, but I'm still as useless as ever, although it's still great fun. We were down in numbers so grouped up and played a team of randoms for most of the evening. Lukily they were utter balls and at one point I was top of our table - made me feel great. We would deliberately let them take the first point just so we could build up defences on the last point - we had some great defences that way.
Maybe I'll play some on the PC tonight. There's an update coming for the Sniper class, new maps and modes will accompany this so I'm looking forward to it. It's just a shame they aren't updating the 360 one, it is gettng somewhat stale.
Right then, let's see what crap I can roll back to on the Ps2 as I'm having a drink.

ReplyDeleteOoh, do describe some differences between the PC and 360 version of HL2... I noticed that the controls to swtich between weapons are different, (but then I guess they'd have to be...)
ReplyDeleteOn the PC there's no auto-aim in the vehicle sections for a start-off. Obviously switching weapons is either on the mousewheel or the number keys, as you'd find on most FPSs these days.
ReplyDeleteThe actual game is pretty similar, it's just a few minor bits and bobs that changed along the way, nothing to make it better or worse. In fact I'd say the 360 version does a damn good job.
