Half-Life: The Real Series

Mod review

Games and mods exist for one reason, to be fun; and to be fun it needs a challenge. This one DOES have a challenge, but it pushes it to the limit... It's so hard, the only thing I had a harder time at was trying to have fun. However I did like some of the things this mod added, one of them were the different types of headcrabs; even though they were very simplistic. Red= Instant kill, Blue= Freezes vision, Green= Toxic, and the Pink one doesn't even do damage; but still worth mentioning. Only thing I had a REAL problem with though were those Tesla-powered vortigaunts or whatever they were. They charge up more than twice as fast and when they do, they discharge the amount of electricity Las-Vegas uses in a year. Even though it wasn't that fun, there were some pretty neat things that I think deserve some credit.

5/10 is a fair rating, no matter how many people rate it 1/10; I think you should check it out.

Scientist Slaughterhouse

Mod review

Really fun; it's a very simple mod with many different ways to kill all these scientists. In this mod I don't have to feel bad for killing the scientists, this is a good mod for the times you get bored of playing serious shooters and you just want to screw around.

I recommend this mod.

If the mod creator is reading this; nice job on the main menu!

Typical Disaster

Mod review

The level design looked nice ONLY in a few places, the mod needs more than some platform jumping. There was a total of 4 weapons in this entire mod! There needs to be more weapons than just 4! There's no story to it what so ever... a random disaster happens out of nowhere without explaination. Oh and the cutscene that plays every time you fall is just time wasting and dumb. It was also pretty boring, doing nothing but jumping on some Xen platforms with very few action sequences and places to go; basically a chore... It isn't the worst mod out there but
overall this mod went from Half-Life to Half-Assed.

Please take no offence.

Half-Life : Residual Life

Mod review

I have to say, this is one of the most well designed mod for Half-life.
The mod was more pretty than fun, though this is entirely my opinion...
I'm glad there wasn't any custom voice acting. Because I've seen people try to make more dialoge for common characters like a scientist and it only ends up sounding funny. If there was any custom voice acting I couldn't tell. I'm only saying this because I heard some un-familiar lines...

-------->SPOILERS_BEYOND_THIS_POINT<--------

If the mod creator is reading this, please note when you make an ending
DON'T just cut the screen to black. Most people didn't understand what happened. It looks like to me the bomb went off and destroyed the facility with her still in it.

-------->NO_SPOILERS_BEYOND_THIS_POINT<--------

Anyways the mod was great, I'd probably rate it more like 7.7/10 or somewhere around it. The mod is worth checking out and I'd recommend this to anyone that is a fan of the Half-Life series.

Crack-Life

Mod review

Great mod, very funny. Though it kinda does get a little old after a while. Mostly because the sounds that are used become overused and old.

Although... Ever since I got to the chapter "Nazi Germany" it got funnier. I think an 8/10 is pretty fair.

Gateway 2

Mod review may contain spoilers

It was enjoyable, and playable. But there's not a whole lot more to defend your mod.

I personally dislike the ending, only because the "hero sacrificing himself" thing was done a million times now.

I would've given a 7/10 but I think 6/10 is high enough. At least it's better than the first one...

Gateway

Mod review

No point in playing a mod that crashes all the damn time, I can't even get to the FIRST CHAPTER because it crashes every time the cutscene ends!

I even tried 5-8 times! No luck...

Rescue 9-1-Freeman

Mod review

The map design was okay, nothing spectacular... it was kinda fun, but there were MANY flaws I just cannot overlook! Every time I get to the next map, I have to change the map in the console and put impulse 101 because I get stuck outside the map! I couldn't put in noclip or kill because it said I was already dead. Whenever I load up Res2 everything that isn't part of the map becomes invisible, you also should've taken the time to put checkpoints around, because somewhere around Res2 there's a room with hanging boxes and the only way to get passed on your first try is to be a psychic! The boxes will break when touched and you must jump to the next one as soon as the other breaks! But let's not forget the ending... everything was fine until you said: "Einstein has been rescued"

Einstein? I laughed like a fool when I saw that.
I don't want to offend you or anything, but I just had to point that out...

This could've been a lot better.

The Evasion

Mod review

Great mod, it actually feels like I'm playing something done by Valve or Gearbox. Only thing different though, was the cutscene at the begining. I've never seen a Half-life game with a cutscene. I would give this a 9/10, but it was too short for a 9/10. But... I'll give you a 10/10 on the level design. Great work!
