i sat down and tried to make a list of 'key' titles that i want to get around to since the list of everything is a lot more than this.
Half Life
mass effect
fallout 3
max payne 3
chaos theory
red dead
ico
god of war 2
uncharted 3
skyward sword
mario galaxy
mario 64

I think the first I want to hit is mass effect since I loved kotor. Where do you guys stand on backlog.

I don't even call it a backlog anymore. It's a list of games I'll probably never play, and it's long and sad.

This is why I have narrowed down the ones I want to make sure I play. Even then, I won't get them all.

Don't play the first Half-Life, DL the HL2 mod "Black Mesa".

The mod is step for step the reconstruction of HL1 but with okay graphics.

I thought the black mesa mod was a mod for the first? Either way I do know about black mesa and plan on using it.

It is, you listed half life. That is the first game correct?

Edt: Half-Life 2 also has an amazing mod, I have it zipped up and you can DL them from my FTP if needed.

By the way, Half-Life 2 has been my favorite single player game for 10yrs.

I bought the valve complete pack awhile ago which gave me a ton of different half life games. Which ones should I play/start with ?

Is it ok to just skip 1 and start with HL2 ?

You can. I played through the first one and the only thing I gathered was aliens crossed over from another dimension. Maybe there was more but I'd have to play again. I didn't feel super lost playing 2.

I just read the wiki description for HL 1 and played. Started on HL2 ep 1 but then put it down for a while. Good game but not the ZOMG end all be all like many make it out to be. Def will finish both episodes tho

That was tongue-in-cheek but true. If HL3 is ever released, it'll make the ME3 debacle look rather tame. No way it could ever live up to the hype.

If it was going to be anything like ME3, it would have been released a long time ago.
