I'm buying tomorrow. The wife is on a hen party, I'll be finishing Bioshock tonight so tomorrow night will be Half Life 2 Episode 2 / Portal / Team Fortress 2

Lets get some screens up.

I pre-ordered it a while back. Played through HL2 and HL2 Ep1 whilst waiting for the release of the rest. I've not started on Ep2 yet as I've been messing around in Portal. Very funny little game, excellent end credits song too

Have had a very quick sniff at TF2 as well. I could not find any servers that would let me on to play though, which is a shame. It does look rather good though, very "The Incredibles" but without the superhero antics.

Anyone want to setup and host an SN TF2 server?

I took my tin collectors edition of Halo 3 into Blockbuster today to get the orange box for £9.99 (trade in a selected game offer) and they wouldnt let me, they only wanted the basic version, so i had to go home and get that one, go figure!

Just finished playing ep1 and ep2, both were good. Not sure how replayable they are, but I did enjoy playing them. I just need to learn to conserve ammo less and have more fun.

For some reason when I get rockets, grenades etc I tend to try and keep them for later in case there is a really hard bit. I tend to end the game with full kit after not really using them

I managed to kick the habbit and did the Silo section of ep2 "Dirty Harry" style with a magnum (and a few grenades). That was just so much fun nailing people in the face with a magnum round

A little tip for you, used to do this a lot when playing hl2 deathmatch, drop a grenade in front of you, switch to gravity gun and catch the grenade then fire it at your enemy for instant explosion. You can get some good accuracy like this.

Portal is awsome!

Although I guess it needed something to finish, I was happier playing the maps.

Even going to get the wife to have a go.

The song is cool too.
