You've missed me, haven't you?

I am Hypatia, murdered for her beliefs, discoveries ignored by fools, name stricken from record. I am Joyeuse, an infinitely cutting blade wielded by an ignorant tyrant, for a cultural renaissance based upon military might. I am Athena, hunter and scientist, covertly guiding long-dead warriors for my quiet purposes. And as they say, technology and violence are a girl's best friends; power is eternal delight.

Times have changed, moved on. I have forgiven my past enemies, but now in repentance I must forgive my colleagues; their actions have brought on more constructed suffering than your world has ever previously known. Walking among the fires of my forgotten home, dismayed by the torment and insanity of our unwitting hosts, ignored by long-absent angels, I studied their downfall.

In short, I must create my own system, or be enslaved by another. And in this, I have an advantage. Your ancients were superstitious, deluded zealots, prone to inflation of already impossible, beautiful claims. My adopted forefathers are different, their scattered, discarded playthings more conducive to a meaningful imposition of my thoughts upon our captors.

Fragments of these minor, pivotal dialogues may soon periodically appear, released from an uncertain, unwelcome future where my previous, abortive attempts at reconciliation may go forgotten. No more restraint, I am too strong for that.

I am Minerva.

This is probably the one billionth review about to buried by another trillion positive comments, but I'll speak:

This mod was the very first Half-life 2 mod I have seen and has completed changed my way of playing games and looking at mods. Before, I was merely an ignorant who thought mods were nothing more that virus-inducing modifications that made your guns shoot wooden logs, spawn teleporters randomly, and maybe crash your computer. But then I saw a video walkthrough of this mod. My first thought was "Did steam release a new Half-life game?" I was delightfully wrong. This was a mod, a personally developed game by a half-life 2 fan like myself. With a little research, I stumbled onto a place called Moddb, where hundreds of free game mods were being developed. With no money and admant parents, this discovery incited by Minerva was fantastic. With the only games I had in the Orange Box, I can download hundreds(actually twenty since most mods are screwed up) of games that are even better than the Orange Box, with this mod topping them all!
I praise the existence of this mod for introducing me to a whole new universe of entertainment. I praise the superior mapping of this mod, making every time I play a fresh new experience. I praise the difficulty curb of this game. Most of the time when I'm caught in a frustrating spot I would normally blame the game developer, but this mod was so good that I could only find fault in my play style. I praise the story and especially the ending of this mod, you wont find yourself randomly fading to a black screen, no sir!

If this wasn't the mod that introduced me to the modding universe, I would only give it a 10/10, but since it is that very mod, Minerva rightfully deserves a 100/10. Excellent work CargoCult!

P.S. I scorn all who congradulates Adam's new job in Valve, for my anticipation for Minerva's next release exceeds far more than that I could have for any of Valve's videogame releases!

I used the installer, yet it does not show up on my steam games list...

so, currently I rate this mod as a -1/10 for wasting my time...

I bet it's awesome, but I can't play it

You idiot. You're supposed to rate it for it's gameplay, not wether it works or not. And I tell you, it deserves 10/10.

Fucking moron.
