Black Mesa Released!

[General Naga]

After longer than I care to remember the Black Mesa mod for HL2 has been released! I wouldn't normally post mod release news but I figured this is the one we've all been waiting for. Who said it wasn't ever going to be finished?

"Prepare for an experience that you will find Nostalgic, exciting and fresh. Black Mesa is a re-envisioning of Valve Software's seminal game Half-Life. You will re-visit the inaugural role of Gordon Freeman and his memorable journey through the Black Mesa Research Facility. Expect tremendously detailed environments to explore, a huge cast of characters and experimental weaponry. All-new music, voice acting, choreography and added dialogue give way to a more expansive and immersive experience than ever before. In a nutshell, play Half-life the way we think it was meant to be played!

Been waiting for this for about 5 years now, will definitely be giving it a go very soon! I listened to the soundtrack a few weeks back and, although I wish it was me, I feel it's going to make going back into Gordon's shinier shoes a hell of an experience.
