Mod Review on Oct 7th, 2012

An interesting concept of releasing unfinished maps. Many of them had issues, so I can only assume the creators gave up and worked on better projects.

However, there is fun to be had here, as a few of the maps are interesting and almost made me wish they were indeed finished.

Download, if unfinished projects interest you :)

Game Review on Oct 5th, 2012

I found this rather fun.

There. I said it.

It was fun.

Was it a good game?

Hell no!

Was it a bad game?

No again!

It's a game you turn your brain off to enjoy. It's a guilty pleasure, nothing more, nothing less. I don't rate games by how good I think they are, I rate them by how much fun I had playing them.

It was difficult, crude, riddled with bugs and dated. But I think half the charm playing the game was seeing the game progress through so many different changes in the FPS industry, from vibrant surroundings to derelict and grey sewers.

The DLC was fantastic and was really a tip of the hat to fans of the original Duke Nukem rather then it's 3D sequel, and something like that isn't something you should put down.

Above all, it's been a rough decade with Duke, and it didn't end as well as it should have. For what it is, it's a trip back to the days when FPS's were very interactive considering the technology available (With games nowadays being joyrides of static environments such as COD and battlefield with an over abundance of destruction) and surprisingly difficult fights with varied enemies. It's not gold or a sign from god, nor is it the bane of our existence or the sign of Armageddon. it's a half-finished game that landed in the hands of a team that didn't really know what they were doing, but tried their best regardless.

I think I said enough, You love it, you hate it, or you see it as neither.

It's a guilty pleasure. And those looking for cheeky fun from a time that wasn't as serious should be pleased with this game :)

Well made, well scripted and fun as hell.

A mod no half-life fan should miss :D

Gave me a few nice flashbacks to Duke Nukem 3D, and it was far more enjoyable and well detailed then Adam, even if the story is far more insane and the Pornographic scenes come back with a vengeance D:

Nice work, if only Grey Dog didn't quit modding after the release of Hour-Glass :(

The mod is very hard to navigate, so I was forced to proceed with noclip, which ruined the immersion for me.

However, I enjoyed the noir atmosphere and I particularly adored the intense combat.

Not the best, but it is rather unique :)

A marvelous blast from the past :)

The level design is quite detailed for the time of release and the combat really feels old-school, even for half-life, which isn't a bad thing.

It's not very long, so those who need a quick half-life fix should download this now :D

Very meh-ish in terms of level-design, although some of the scripted events were humorous.
However, the pornographic themes were an unpleasant surprise and got excessive way too fast.

Ultimately, this mod suffers from bad ideas with bad implementation, as the time-travel segments were not done as well as they could have been and the leap of faith portions were better off left on the drawing board.

There is still some fun to be found in Adam, but only the best half-life fan should give this a try :/

Very slow paced in terms of story-telling and combat, but for some reason, I found this very relaxing.

And once the action picks up, the fights can get quite challenging.

Overall, I like the way the story is told and how it is paced, and I especially like the level design and smart attention to detail.

Amongst my favorite Half-life mods :)

I've said it many times before and I'll continue to say it until I die. The Russians are gods when it comes to Half-life modding.

The mod is very long and jam-packed with plenty of secret levels and easter eggs, not to mention plenty of action and puzzles.

It drones on after awhile and some levels vary from easy to very hard, but if you need something to do for the weekend, then just give this mod a spin, you'll be in for quite a ride :)

It was fun, well designed and a nice blast to the past for us dungeon crawlers, however it has a bit of a downer ending D:

Otherwise, it's an enjoyable experience :>
