I already have a version of Half Life 2 registered on Valve, with my
own username etc. Which reminds me, I need to remember those.

If I then buy Episode 1 second hand, I presumably won't be able to
register it to that account, because it'll have been registered to
someone else's, right?

Second question: Having almost finished Prey (good game, btw - much
fun), FEAR, Far Cry, Doom 3 (ugh), Splinter Cell, what FPS games should
I be looking at in a similar vein?

Thanks guys
Nick

Right (It'll cost you 10 bobs to do the transfer, if possible)

A 'bob' in UK is 5 pence.  It'll cost considerably more than that ;-)

As Lief says try Quake 4 or (now from Steam) COD2.  If you just like
shooting with no real story then Painkiller is a lot of fun

I thought I read that they abolished the charges after a court ruling?

Call of Duty 2 is fantastic on the Xbox 360, I presume the PC version
would be much the same....

Aye the COD series is a lot of fun - only too short
But ain't that the case with most shooters :)

it is too short on easy difficulty levels but you play it on Veteran
level where 100 yards down the road is *extremely* difficult, it can
seem a very long but still very enjoyable game in that
perspective.....

Of a sort... much better than Q2 though along similar lines.  Wot it
'HAS' got is NPC's that are actually useful and fight with you instead
of standing in front of you apologising... ;-)

Erm....as much as any FPS I guess.....I thought it would suck balls, but, it
didnt.

Cool, might check out Quake 4 again. Got COD (and the expansion pack)
more or less on order, too.

Cheers guys
