1. Thompson Machine gun in all ww2, specifically CoD series
2. Deus Ex
3. No One Lives Forever
4. Black Mesa - Half Life, with Surface Tension being my favourite gaming moment I ever played
5. Half Life, can never play an shooter without having CTRL as crouch.
6. Orange Box
7. Crysis
8. Half Life
9. Scripted Events....aka Half Life
10. Half Life again.

Man, I must get a hard on for Half Life, but its too damn good. The only game I've played atleast 5 times and not get bored yet, and the first game I ever played straight until the end.

Is Surface Tension the part where you shoot the helicopter down and then you have to go into the water and kill a weird creature?

-AC

Smasandian
Yeah,

That's the one.

Right on the cliff side and you have scale down it, and up it to a pipe that leads to a Y shaped waterway with commando's on the top.

It's also one with the snipers.

It's easily one of my favourite levels/chapters.

I do, the sheer range of options as to how to go about any given scenario makes for near endless replayability.
