I’m going to try out a little project. Being a (somewhat) retro gamer, I decided to go back and re-play some of my favorite games. One of them being the incredible Half-Life 2. As I started getting screen captures from the beginning, I started remembering my amazement the first time playing (ironically on the PlayStation 3), and some of the upcoming best parts of the game. So I decided to post some of the screenshots I get throughout my play though. Call it, a “Visual Journey” to see if it triggers memories and thoughts for people that have experienced these games. I haven’t finished the game yet, so this is a work in progress and will be updated periodically with as many images as I can.
I encourage anyone who has played this game (or any of the upcoming games I hope to keep doing), click on the images and leave a comment. Tell me when you first experienced what happened when you arrived at that location, or just your general thoughts about it.
Update: The images beginning from “We Don’t Go Into Ravenholm” will be, from now, at the higher resolution of 1920×1820.
