  Best PC Game
  
  Best Graphics....

First of all, Spike TV has no place in gaming awards. Second of all, who the hell made those nominations? Thats that thinnest list of games to vote for I've ever seen. Most of the awards I couldn't vote for, because I'd never heard of the games they listed. I could easily think of a pile more games for each catergory that are much more deserving of some of those awards.

how's the AI in that game by the way ?

Well there goes my coding time.
I'll be playing HL2 for next couple weeks. hehehehe

Well game play is good.
Monster AI is somewhat like HL1.

Mosters hide for seconds thenappear to attack you..
However they do that straffe now. shooting while comming around corner.
So yes its better but still are just HL monsters.
But given enuf of them and/or at tricky places gives good overall action.

if you have the difficulty set on high they are awsome, if you have it on low then they suck a lot, they just stand there and shoot, but them on hard and they will react to anything, throw a nade and they will scater open fire with a machine gun they will hide and duck etc

I'd have to agree, whoever said the AI is like HL1 should be shot

I played on Hard, and it wasnt easy to kill shite, if they see you grab an object with the manipulator, they will run for cover

[biohazerd87]

yes well now we know who is a wussy and plays on easy

[stefanhendriks]

lol yeah. I have played it on hard settings too and i was pretty impressed.

It's called advertising... 9_9

Never believe car manufacturer X when they say their new car won an award...
believe a serious and independent institution when they show you a transparent and reasonable test and tell you that an "X"-brand car won it...

*EDIT*

Me thinks your sig is too big. I don't believe the rule that no sig pic may exceed 100 px in height was introduced so that people can pile so much other stuff into their sig that the result equals an image of 200 px in height... maybe that rule ought to be formulated a bit better? Nothing personal, it just occurred to me.

Heyyo,

Well, spike tv is a channel for men. Men do all kinds of stuff, from gaming to action movies. Spike tv's trying to capitolize on new game releases right now since they're getting big, and since lots of us dudes play games (especially compared to chicks...) why wouldn't they try to suit our needs?

The retail of HL2 comes with CS:S and apparently is equal to bronze, but the collectors edition is the same as gold.

BUT, some people say HL2 retail is equal to silver cause their copies have CS:CZ, but I'm not sure anymore who to believe... i need to research...

As for HL2 multiplayer? http://www.hl2world.com/ I dunno how the bots will work though, if they will shoot everyone or just the player since they're probably programmed for just 1 player...

deathmatch 1
maxplayers (whatever you want)
map (mapname)
restart

It will add you to the master server and it works. I know, it looks like the leak, but I assure you this is the retail HL2.

I'm pretty sure this link's legal... if I'm wrong just gimmie a heads up.

And yeah, I'm sure if it wasn't legal www.planethalflife.com wouldn't have it on their news posts.
