After clicking on "New Game" and playing for about five minutes, my first reaction was to double check that I hadn't inadvertently launched Blue Shift instead. So strong is the similarity. In fact, this mod begins basically as a remake of that expansion. Why somebody would spend such effort to homage the least gifted of HL's offspring, I cannot venture why. Perhaps the author grew up playing it, who knows.

It was about time I reviewed this game. Maybe I should have put it first. Not just because of its relevance to the ludic community overall, but also because of the impression it left on me and how it shaped who I am now (not to mention, that now I'll have to edit a lot of articles to add links to it!).

Perhaps the most mundane of my stories. No robots or spaceships this time, or bizarre plots! I promise.

You enjoyed Portal a lot. You toured its rooms solving the inventive puzzles, harboring a love-hate relationship towards GLaDOS. But then it was over in a flash, and you were left yearning for more. You also like boxes. What can you do now?

One of those brief but satisfactory Half-Life mods that is better precisely because of its short length, as it wouldn't feel as good if it lasted two hours. In this one you embody a Black Mesa cleaner named John Skinner, who gets caught in the middle of the disaster while wearing his protective HEV suit. The bad part is that this also makes the HECU mistake him for Gordon Freeman (well, him and the several dozen others with a suit I guess?), so it's kind of a bullet magnet.
