  • Deus Ex 2 : Invisible Bore

    I thought Barney was in the original HL too. Oh well...whatever. I rememebr playing through Theif 2 and ended up losing my patience at the level with the boat. At that point, i just couldn´t take the hiding and stealth anymore and i turned on god mode and went ninja on all their asses. Serious Sam action is more for me. <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> <img src=´http://members.shaw.ca/electricbrain2/sig2b.gif ´>
