New version, you get to choose from five characters instead of the usual four.

No offense taken, I just wasn't aware.
When Shane and I played though, he was the human and I was the dwarf, heh.

The action looks good, too bad it doesn't really hint at any gameplay aspects. If ya ask me though, the voice acting could use some work.

Yeah, if there's one thing I love about Half-life, it's messing around with the physics.

Last two stages.

The second to last stage in Half-life 2, where you ride in that little containment apparatus that takes you on a tour of the inner workings of the Citadel, is perhaps the greatest moment in Video Game history. Oh yeah, the physics are cool too.

If I were to compare that particular Citadel "tour" scene with something else in Half-Life, I'd say that I probably prefer the opening scene in the original Half-Life, where you're riding the tram into Black Mesa. I agree though, that is a very cool scene.
Even so, you think it rivals the glorious moment when you first realize what a blue gravity gun really does? Heheh..

Human shields are definitely a thing I look for in badass games.
As well as tossing them across the room.

Hmm, incidentally, I wonder what other games include human shields?
So far I can think of:
Half-Life 2
Metal Gear Solid 3
Anyone got anything else?

Well, maybe not technically "human" shields, but there's Zone of the Enders 2.

Ah yeah, good one. I completely forgot about it. I wonder if you can do that kind of stuff in the Splinter Cell series.

When it comes to games I'm more into the story than the physics engines. |

Heh, when did I ever mention physics? I'm talking about the sheer elation of discovering that you can suddenly hurl enemies around like they were nothing.

I realize that.. but it's not the aspect I was talking about.. I was referring to the elated feeling of power, potential, and possibility that comes with with the souped-up gravity gun, as opposed to marveling at how each limb of a Combine perfectly follows the ragdoll physics effects for startling realistics.. While both are important and work together, there's a distinct difference.

I don't really care. Combine Citadel. Done.
