Games I still want to play again

  • Half-Life 2 trilogy
    • Physics blew my mind, first experienced them via Garry’s Mod.
      • Previous games with physics: Disney’s Tarzan (rope swinging), The Incredible Machine (puzzles)
  • Portal 1 and especially 2
    • Excellent writing, humor, puzzles.
    • Portal 2 had a years-long hype
  • Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped
    • One of the first console games I remember playing.

Games I have fond memories of but can’t or won’t play anymore

  • Turn of the millenium FPS games:
    • No One Lives Forever
    • Soldier of Fortune
    • Some of my earliest computer-related memories are seeing my dad play Half-Life 1. I remember seeing creatures under glass domes and huge spinning magnets.
