Are we being deceived? While unlikely, it’s interesting to speculate that we may be lead astray by the Vortigaunts.

Prospekt is a single-player, stand-alone Source Engine game out now on Steam. Set in the Half-Life universe, players take on the role of corporal Adrian Shepherd, protagonist of Opposing Force. Revived from stasis, you are tasked with assisting Gordon Freeman with his trip to Nova Prospekt during the events of Half-Life 2.

Having released only last week, it is fair to say that Prospekt has already attracted a significant amount of criticism from the community. For the purposes of this review, we have chosen to take a systematic look at its strengths, and potential for improvement, in each of the key areas that apply to mods in general.

Please note, this review contains spoilers.

A lot of things can change during the development of a game. Half-Life is rich with lore, and because of this, things have constantly changed during the series development.

Nihilanth is shrouded in mystery. Our first and only encounter with him doesn’t reveal much. We know very little about him – but he is key to the Half-Life story.

We recently sat down with Richard Seabrook, the developer of the upcoming fan-made Half-Life: Opposing Force sequel, Prospekt, to ask him some questions about the game and it’s development. We also put forward some questions to him from the community too.

You can watch the video interview below.

If you’ve been following the Half-Life 2 modding community lately, chances are, you’ve probably heard of an upcoming game called Prospekt.

Last week we covered Black Mesa’s new Crossfire update. Now we’re happy to bring you an exclusive on the remade chapter, Surface Tension.

The good people of Crowbar Collective have given us at LambdaGeneration an exclusive in-depth look at Black Mesa’s first new major multiplayer update since the game’s stand-alone release on Steam, codenamed the Crossfire Update.

Black Mesa, the fan-recreation of Half-Life in the Source engine—now independent Steam title, has been nominated for the 2015 Indie of the Year Awards in the First Person Shooter category, hosted by Indie DB.

While this isn’t the big Xen update we’ve been craving for, the Crowbar Collective have been teasing a content update to the game that will hopefully keep us busy while we wait to close the rift between Earth and the Alien Homeworld.
