Half-Life 2. Or, as metacritic would easily argue, one of the top rated PC games ever. Also featuring an interesting non-slutty female character: Alyx Vance. Also the inspiration for one of the more pointless innovations ever and a true Dadaist's dream come true: News at Seven, an automatically generated and vaguely confusing news service (of sorts) presented by (a not naked) Alyx.Then again, not everyone likes Alyx. Some people actually prefer enjoying nice free mods. Here's a selection of the weirdest ones I could find. The 3 Half-Life 2 mods that totally change the gaming experience and don't necessarily feature gun wielding ladies.
The first and wildly celebrated mod I've chosen for your very personal pleasures is BlockStorm. It's a mod that fully -not particularly succesfully though- utilizes Valve's illustrious Source Engine in order to create a Pong/Breakout clone to please us retro gamers. Get it here.
The Iris mod on the other hand is of a more contemporary school of thought. It's a point-and-click adventure, thus an act of adventure gaming propaganda. Be militant! Download it!
Iron Grip: The Oppression, the third and quite frankly best HL2 mod featured here, is an excellent RTS/FPS hybrid, set in large sprawling cities. The game mechanics are smart and intuitive and you can learn more about it at its well-designed official site.Related @ Gnome's Lair: Half-Life 2 Warhammer, Tremulous, 3 retro remakes
