Black Mesa

I really wanted to like Black Mesa. I mean, it's an indie rebuild of Half-Life on the Source engine - what's not to like? How could I possible not like it?

Weeeell, it was OK. Certainly there was nothing wrong with it and as a technical accomplishment it was highly impressive. Except, well frankly I was just a bit bored and felt like I was going through the motions.

Some parts were just a bit too long, some were too short, some parts were frustratingly difficult (particularly the helicopter battles) and I just didn't enjoy it all that much.
So it deserves some of your time, especially as it's free, but don't expect to love it :-(
