Weekend Game Plan
I think I'm at the climax of Half Life 2: Episode 2 and I'm really excited to finish it. The game has had some really cool sequences so far that really take the focus away from some of the ones we've seen in all of the Half Life 2 games now. If you don't know what I'm talking about, check out this hilarious Zero Punctuation Review of The Orange Box.
Alyx is still an awesome companion, Hunters are incredibly cool and I love the new muscle car. The open environments are also great -- Valve's really bumped their combat up a notch.
Then I'll head straight into Portal. It's pretty short, but I may not finish it. After all, I also want to earn another 10 XP in Halo 3 multiplayer so that I can move from Gunnery Sergeant (Second Grade) to Lieutenant.
To round it all off I have access to the Tabula Rasa Beta. Expectations are lowish, but I'm sure it'll be tons of fun for the first weekend or so.
Naturally, we cannot forget Ogame.
