Latest News: RPS digs R&D

PC gaming super-blog Rock, Paper, Shotgun loves R&D! In a new review Alec Meer praises the mod as "a seismic shift" away from the norm, telling readers that it is "as must-play as an HL2 mod gets":
R&D’s hook is that it’s essentially non-combative. Yep – you go without guns throughout (bar the ol’ Gravity jobbie, but hey, that’s more about construction than destruction here). Sure, you can tell an Antlion to claw someone to death or arrange to squash men with falling girders, but you’re definitely not Edward Pistolhands. It’s an environmental adventure game, taking the irregular physics and logic puzzles seen in HL2 itself and turning them into the game itself. Mazes, gravity, exploding microwaves and fire-retardant antlion carapaces all make an appearance – it’s very much a point’n’click adventure in an FPS engine.
If you still haven't played Research and Development, which requires Episode Two, download it now!

congrats I hope to see more in the future
Considering this was one of those mods that literally appeared out of nowhere (seriously, never saw a page for it till it was released), and to be in second place in front of ALOT of other great mods, I would say thats pretty damn awesome. Congrats.
2nd place is not first place, damn...I wanted this to win so bad.
This was a dark horse really. For such an unexpected mod to come so far is quite an achievement. Second Place isn't first losing in this case.
Well, it's close enough. ;)
I really thought this deserved first place, but at least it came close.
congratulations with second place!!!
Looks awesome, too bad i only have HL2!
I really need to try this out.
It isn't based on a popular franchise, it was released long ago and no promotion was made. It's the real winner for a lot of people I think.
