Published by Newsfactory 2

A solution for the stuttering problem has been found and a fix is coming. I've been talking with Gary McTaggart about this today and it turns out that my texture management theory was correct. A patch will be coming for this issue that will load all of the required textures into video memory on level load, rather than doing it during game play. There is currently no ETA for this patch, but I will post an update as soon as I get more information.

Update: The patch should come out no later than tomorrow.

Half-Life 2 Independant Benchmarks

It seems ATI's benchmarks were flawed pretty badly.
The Tech Lounge and [H]ardOCP have some different numbers to show you.

As for calling one video card a ?winner? over the other, it just does not seem feasible and would likely be irresponsible to do so. ATI?s X800 series has not thrashed NVIDIA?s 6800 series silicon as many expected. Half Life 2 simply plays great on video cards from both NVIDIA and ATI. So let?s make this clear

Half-Life 2 Reviews

Published by Newsfactory 4

GameSpot and IGN PC have thrown up their reviews of Half-Life 2! Here's a snip.

I wanted to make this review short and sweet, but it's hard to stop writing, even when excluding facts that could potentially contaminate an exceptionally well thought-out gaming experience. There's just so much to say. Half-Life 2 is, simply put, the best single-player shooter ever released for the PC. It does so many things right in so many ways that it might be possible to write a thesis on the topic of Half-Life 2 compared to other single player shooters.
