Half-Life 2 - Back to the PC

It had been a while since I’d done any sort of PC gaming as my Xbox 360 has been keeping me busy for the past 9 months or so. To make a long story short, I picked up Half-Life 2 (Game of the Year Edition) this past Friday and have been playing it quite a bit this past weekend. I know that game has been out for almost 2 years or so now, but with my recent upgrades to my PC (more memory/dual-core processor) I decided to give it a go and the price was right at Best Buy. I also picked up Half-Life 2: Episode 1 on sale as well, so I can continue the Half-Life 2 experience after finishing up this stunning sequel.
Needless to say it has been a lot of fun to get back to playing a great FPS on the PC again. Of course I have been playing the latest Counter-Strike Source as well and now I’m feeling the FPS (PC) addiction again. So if you have not played Half-Life 2 and want a kick butt FPS experience for the PC than go for it as the “Game of the Year Edition” is packed with goodies and the superb “Steam” interface for managing all of the Valve titles is amazing. As they say better late than never and I am very happy I decided to pick up this game and do some great gaming again on my PC.

A friend recently got me playing Half Life 2, Edition 1. Having never played any type of pc game before, I found the features and story line incredible and mind blowing! Of course, now that I am addicted, I’ve been looking around for some decent and affordable game gear to help me take my gaming performance to the next level.
Being on a shoe string budget and wot not, it was only up until recently that I found www.cybersnipa.com - I bought one of their game pads and haven’t looked back since! Looks like their gaming accessories compliment both FPS and strategy games. I would recommend these guys just about to anyone.
Half-Life is definitely and addicting game and I have been playing it quite a bit now, but still have lots to accomplish. Not as much time to play the past week or so, but will get back into it soon. Thanks for the link by the way, I had not heard of CyberSnipa before and it looks like they carry some high end PC gaming gear.
