I've played quite a few mods and i feel compelled to share my feeling about some. of course if you think that I'm talking about a moderator when i say mod, your wrong. I'm talking about modifications and if you need to know more about those go to
http://www.moddb.com/ for info. OK lets begin.
Garry's mod
half life 2 mod
Garry's mod is a lot of fun even if its become a legitimate game. Garry's mod costs only $10 on steam and you can download addons for it that will add new features, the addons are made by people online specifically for the game, you can find addons at
http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/. the game itself is a sandbox game that gives you the tools and the materials to make almost anything in the source engine. when you play it right its incredibly fun.

they hunger
half life mod
This mod comes in 3 parts although you can download a version that has all the parts put into one mod. if you couldn't tell from the title, its a horror mod starring a nameless writer who is going on vacation to rest up before writing his next book (this character being the player) and a whole sh*t load of zombies. i don't know if its just me but i didn't get that scared in this game, unless you count the battles sequences that had Ichythyosaurs which really freak me out. i haven't beaten TH yet and i don't know if i ever will as after you complete part one, things take a turn for the frustrating. let me explain, I've watched my brother play this, and in part two there is a water treatment plant that has a gate which you can see through in it, you can see a road through there, and later you end up on the other side of that gate. this wouldn't be frustrating except when you get there you have a police officer following you, which in that game is a reskined version of the security guard from half life, and those guards usually use consoles to open doors, and next to the gate is a console, so you think maybe you get that police officer to open the gate? or maybe you might swim through the water to move on? no. you have to go trough some random passage on the side of a cliff to move on confused and then there is the insane asylum... i might get more in depth on that later but is extremely frustrating, but that game despite all the frustration in the world is stilll very fun, check it out if you own a copy of half life.
