Today I finally started Half Life 2: Episode 1. I know, I know, I should have played it ages ago having been passionate about games for 11 years now but the fact is I am finally getting round to it. The reason I am writing this is because I am pleasantly surprised; I finished Half Life 2 almost a year ago and as ever gaming has advanced in leaps and bounds so when I loaded up the game I expected a mediocre gaming experience. However I was happily mistaken because as with all great games, the experience still stands strong. Granted the graphics are a long shot from todays games and your still equipped with seemingly frictionless boots but it’s just as fun, just as engrossing and still tells one hell of a story. I reckon I will finish this one quickly and be pining for more as I start up episode 2.

Maybe then I can truly call myself a Gamer.

Hi I'm George, A Computer Games Design student at Staffordshire University.

This is my Blog, as you may have gathered, were I will post Gaming news, my thoughts and opinions and everything else from the world of gaming. I'm a proud nerd and get excited quite easily so expect to see a variety of posts about a variety of different things.

I don't have any plans in particular other than to post something everyday, but don't hold it against me if I don't. I'm new to this so don't expect enticing reads that leave you contemplating the meaning of life and don't mind my mistakes.

Anyway that's enough of an introduction I think so, Enjoy!!
