I was super excited for half life 2 however I played like 15 minutes of it and got bored. Never looked at it again.
In Half life 2, you need to interact with the environment more. Only then you will find it's different compared to a typical fps. I never could get into the original Half Life coz frankly, the graphics were/are crap and it starts out too slow. But HL2 seems to be well thought out in terms of story and level design. HL2:Ep1 and 2 are even better.I was super excited for half life 2 however I played like 15 minutes of it and got bored. Never looked at it again.
Never loaded the other game (portal?) just didn’t appeal to me.

Never played Portal. However, I did get Portal 2 on PS3 and loved the lab portion of it. It was really fun solving the teleportation puzzles on my own. It was only when I got out of the lab that things became too difficult. I guess I have a certain mental impediment where I can't solve puzzles if the environment is too vast in scope.
I'm not sure if you have to install the launcher or not to grab this game. I tried the website and it said it added to my account but I couldn't find my games online when using a browser so I had no way to verify. I downloaded their crappy launcher and I saw the game was already in my library. No idea if I got it free in the past or if it added to my account today.Assassins Creed Syndicate free

Agree, for its time, much less repetitive than the typical FPS. I also liked that it wasn't excessively dark or over-contrasted and saturated. Granted this was playing on the displays I had available at the time. Can't even remember if that would've been an LCD or CRT, but either way, much smaller than I have now, so my opinion playing today might change.In Half life 2, you need to interact with the environment more.

Not a client. It's just a Steam key reseller. They used to be called Bundle Stars. Their "Create your own bundle" promotions are pretty good. That way, you get cheap keys without having to buy a whole bundle of stuff you don't want coz there is one game in there you want and the whole bundle is cheaper than that game's price on Steam.didn't want yet another client.
