Game Forum / Action Games / Half Life / January 2006(HL2) Ravenholm a SP mod for HL2 is just released
This new single-player campaign takes you through a greatly larger and more in-depth Ravenholm experience, giving the player that fast-paced and intense action that was in the original Ravenholm chapter. http://ravenholm.wz.cz/english.html http://mods.moddb.com/4878/ REF: http://www.planethalflife.com/ - Peter Oh Go-d! Why would anyone want that? I really didn't enjoy Ravenholm - the crazy fast-moving Zombies were bad; the crab-chucking Zombies were even worse, and the whole level just felt 'wrong'. Y'know, with the threshing blades, bits of bodies lying about and so on... Guh. Never mind - I'll just go and play FEAR - that should help me unwind..... Nick > Oh Go-d! Why would anyone want that?

Never mind - I'll just go and play FEAR - that should help me > unwind..... Best of Ravenholm was the plot involving Father Gregori Some of the monster stuff was a little bizar like created by a sick person with a twisted mind :) - Peter >> Oh Go-d!

Chalker comes to mind a lot.... McG. > Like most Sci-Fi writers? :) Jack L. Chalker comes to mind a lot.... Nahh JLC is a bit mysterious but not that mysterious The atmosphere in Ravenholm reminds me of eg Stephen King or Dean Kootz Dean Kootz http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/k/dean-r-koontz/ - Peter >> Like most Sci-Fi writers? :) Jack L.

Well of Souls saga and the Soulrider saga. Either would make an incredible movie. Koontz? Punish the Sinners? McG. > You must not have Nathan Brazil around much then :) Or Cass, Suzl and > Matson... As mysterious and foreign JKC can be I do not consider his novels being horrofying or scaring :) > Well of Souls saga and the Soulrider saga. Either would make an > incredible movie. > > Koontz? Punish the Sinners? Koontz: Shattered, TicToc, One door away from heaven King: eg Dreamcatcher - Peter >> Koontz? Punish the Sinners? >> > Koontz: Shattered, TicToc, One door away from heaven Hideaway - great twist. Watchers - great story (unlike the dire film) (usual conditions apply - ie these are opinions) > King: eg Dreamcatcher The Stand - his best, The Long Walk - his best as Richard Bachman. I'm now into the Dark Tower series (7 books). Completely different (fantasy) style - wasn't sure it was 'my thing' - sat on shelf for long time til I picked up first and now I'm on fourth and enjoying them a great deal For Ravenholme though I reckon you'd need a writer like James Herbert (his older books - The Fog, The Dark, etc) > Oh Go-d!

It's supposed to be. The writer wanted, *really* wanted to get that across. He did a bang up job too! You know those un-named aliens that rule the Combine? They generally like all us lower life forms about as much as we like maggots. What Valve coulda done is let us help Father Grigori totally clean up Ravenholm, and then we coulda literally cleaned it up. Made it a nice place again. But, we had more work to do. McG. It's good, mind, but I'm not a big fan of 'jumping out of the darkness at you' frights. Started FEAR this weekend, and was very pleasantly surprised. It's disturbing, sure, but more in a f....ing with your head way than a "aha! big thing with no skin jumping at you" way. Very cool - you can tell they've hired a good writer/ director. Makes Doom 3 look really quite clumsy, TBH. Nick >It's good, mind, but I'm not a big fan of 'jumping out of the darkness >at you' frights.

SignatureBunnies aren't just cute like everybody supposes ! They got them hoppy legs and twitchy little noses ! And what's with all the carrots ? What do they need such good eyesight for anyway ? Bunnies ! Bunnies ! It must be BUNNIES ! |
