	[quote name="foolio"]<H2>STARRING:</H2> Me, and my brand-new middle-of-the-line Radeon 9800Pro 256MB. <H2>FEATURING:</H2> Half-Life 2 for $40, Max Payne 2 for $20, Deus Ex: Invisible War for $9, and thus far the first two levels of Far Cry for $15 <H2>NOT FEATURED:</H2> NOLF 2 for $10, sitting on shelf awaiting installation <H2>SUMMARY:</H2>Every one of these games is excellent. DX:IW is entertaining for the entire ten hours of gameplay, Max Payne 2 was great (and as a surpise bonus: is replayable!), Far Cry is just awesome and pretty. Half-Life 2 is everything you've heard about, except for all the negative aspects, except for that one problem with the installer and the "CD in drive"+Steam idiocy for us retail buyers, and the marginally smaller "just Steam" installer woes. <H2>CONCLUSION:</H2> I'm a big winner. <H2>BONUS MULTIPLAYER CONTENT:</H2>My CS scores improved dramatically! Online multiplayer is <b>really, honestly</b> all about your ping and your system. If either one or the other is holding you down, you will lose out. I don't even pretend CS is fair--it isn't. ALSO: Enemy Territory is fun. <H2>PROOF:</H2> <img src="http://img99.exs.cx/img99/3286/bonuscs9ob.jpg" width="909" height="621" alt="Grayscale added for gravity, also because CS:S screenshot utility turned everything green" />[/quote]
