The original copy of this review rubbed a lot of people the wrong way. It was a bit too negative and the development team for the game and their community had lots to say about it. So John pulled it from PHL. I later re-wrote it as I did not want the bad reputation and wanted to make amends. Nobody likes a negative situation, so I made it right with a modified review which you see here.  I had the help of the development team members and even got a private sit down to chat. Everything was hopefully solved and all can move on into happiness.

It is safe to say I am not without flaws, but I will always make up for them somehow if I am given the chance. However a problem now face is that some readers believe me to have been forced to revise it and will think of me as having my leash pulled if you will. They are fair to assume that if they don’t know the entire story but rest assured I DID this on my free standing will to better the situation. I hope my readers understand that.

Cheers until next time!

I have gone through and updated the Resume and Projects pages with updated information. Please see them for the changes and additions.

Another review for Planet Half-Life, I haven’t done one of these in a while but it was good to get back into it.

It was quite different to review this game as it was not really my thing, but read the article and enjoy.

This is a follow-up to another review I wrote for Planet Half-Life earlier. Feel free to check it out.

Here is another review I wrote for Planet Half-Life. I will be posting the links to PHL directly from now on to keep this site clean.

This one went over well. I think I might have wrote the review too soon as I found myself playing this particular game a bit more than I rated it.

Well the information for the YONGE Organizer is up under my Projects page, be sure to check it out if you are looking for a way to communicate with your student ran groups and whatnot.

Anyway, go check it out if your interested, the people that use it, love it.

This is a new review written for Planet Phillip. Quite a difference for writing for Phillip and PHL, its a nice change going back and forth between the two.

On a non-related note, more information about the YONGE Organizer is on the way, watch this space for more information.

Well this is an interesting find to be sure. I have absolutely no idea what is going on in this modification/map pack but all I know is that lots of stuff dies. This is going to be a short review as it took me less than 30 minutes to beat the first Volume.

You start off in some Combine structure that looks like the Citadel from Half-Life 2 and you walk about with what seems to be your Combine buddies and you pick up your Combine uniform and go for a patrol in some prison cells. Once you’re there, you find out everybody hates you, you have no friends and everybody wants you to die. That’s the story as I know it. There may have been more, but the read me is written in Korean which I sadly did not take this semester, so I’m left in the dark to what is really going on.

That being said, the maps are fun to play. They remind me very much of the original Half-Life 2 maps before the episodes, where there would be periods of Combine, then periods of zombies. Zombies, the place is full of them and all the ones lying on the ground get up. All of them. If it has a head crab on its corpse, shoot it to make sure it won’t get up. The mapper seems to like to like you to shoot your dead twice; perhaps he/she is going through some relationship troubles. Along with zombies you will encounter combine of all kinds, rebels with sharp sticks and even scientists armed with AR2s. While they give you some free kills, there are moments where you will be rushed in close quarters with five Combine all wielding shotguns to shave down your health to a single digit. Supplies are also generous, almost too generous. Like I said before, I played through this set of maps quite quickly and did not die once, thanks to supply crates every 50 feet. Lastly, what was supposed to be the end battle for the Volume was laughable, as I didn’t fight it, I simply ran through the underground maze of connected rooms and went out the other side to safety. Why fight a battle I don’t have to?

All in all the map set was quite impressive and once they next volume is released; I will probably have a go at that one as well. I suggest you try this if you enjoy short little evening battles before getting to decorate your Christmas tree with the Head Crab on top.

Well it’s up and running, my Blog/Portfolio/Personal collection of my life.

This website in time will contain information about me including the projects I’m involved with, my Resume outlining information that employers viewing this site might want, or the casual viewer just reading up on what I’m doing with my life and the things I’m working on, etc etc.

The site has some reviews I have written and has some information that can be viewed on the Partners/Affiliates and Projects pages which include descriptions and website links if applicable.

Enjoy
