Absolutely Amazing.

This mod is Portal 2 quality. The developers clearly spent a lot of time on the design and story and for the designers to release this for free is very generous of them.

-The actual tests are unique and creative, some of which are quite challenging.
-The ammount of detail in the aestetics for the old aperture, behind the scenes, and overgrown chambers is really amazing and the I have only seen better from VALVe.
-The voice and music recording is farily good
-The story and dialogue is well made
-The length of time to complete the mod is similar to Portal 2

There is absolutely no reason not to download this mod

I don't want to start. I paid $1.99 for this game. Portal Stories Mel just was released for free and it is 100 times as good as this.

Audio:
-Music: eh sometimes apropriate for the test but can sometimes be really annoying.
-Voice acting: Not the best quality
-Dialogue: Jokes aren't that good

Mapping:
-does not use nodraw when they should
-uses nodraw when they should not
-does not mix old aperture and new aperture elements well
-does not know how to fire the silentdissolve output
-I guess in the last few chambers they found a nice unique style
-elevator rooms seemed overlooked and need improvement

General Level Design:
-chambers are unnecessarily large
-chamber solutions are not very creative
-chambers still require the use of portals
-recycled tests........ No, if the tests are recycled they should be remade to match the quality of the other tests
-story?

Good Stuff:
-custom models were great
-custom textures were great

Thomas Was Alone is a great indie game. The game is a good length and the puzzles get more difficult as the game progresses. The game concepts are simple, however the game has used the simple mecahnics and made some very difficult and fun puzzles from them. As far as the appearence, Thomas Was Alone looks and sounds great. Music can be a very important part of videogames and I really enjoyed the backround music in this game. In addition to the music and puzzles, Thomas Was Alone has a great story. The whole story is narrated and told very well. I recommend this game to everyone especially those who enjoy puzzle games.

Super Hexagon is a great game. The concept is very simple, however the game is quite a challenge. On top of the game mechanic itself, Super Hexagon looks and sounds amazing. The music is very enjoyable and the game is very colorful. I like this game and recommend it to others, however I do not recommend spending a lot of time on it because it is a difficult game to walk away from.

Antichamber is by far one of the best games I have ever played. It is a puzzle adventure game similar to Portal. You have many different types of guns that can modify the blocks around you to help you solve puzzles. In addition, Antichamber uses a variety of different ways to mess with your head, such as the countless numbers of geometrical paradoxies. For example, you can walk through walls that you thought were solid. If you turn around at almost any point of the game the end will be right behind you. This game is extremely hard to explain but it is incredible you really must try it to find out.

Episode 2 is a great edition to the Half-Life Series. Episode 2 excels in all that Half-Life 2 did, with one difference. Episode 2 has the best battles than any other game. The first of which is the Vortigant/Antlion battle in the mines. This battle stood out to me becuase of the 2 stages of the battle one where you control the turrets and the other fighting alongside the vortigants. The other exceptional battle was the final strider battle. In the first game Valve introduced Striders, however they were difficult to defeat. This time they added in a new weapon to help defeat the striders. To make up for the lost difficulty they added hunters that needed to be killed before all of the striders. To me, Half-Life 2 Episode 2's final strider battle is the best boss battle I have ever seen in a game, making HL2: EP2 one of my favorite games.

Althought Half-Life is an old game it is very good. It is the start of a fantastic game series and it presents itself as more challenging then the second. Playing on the Xen levels are especially fun because it makes those levels unfamiliar to the player and makes the maps unique. Half-Life is a very good game and recommend it to everyone especially those who have played the second one.
