Garry's Mod is not just for constructing and building stuff: it's for destruction too. In Garry's Mod, you can spawn enemies at any time, and any place. Then get a nice weapon, and start blowin' stuff up. You could also make your own war: rebels vs. combines, combines vs. zombies, zombies vs. antlions , you name it. With over dozens of combinations to choose from, you'll never get tired of Garry's Mod. You could also make a war with 3 or even MORE factions for better mayhem. Before you spawn friendlies or enemies, choose their loadout first. (Of course, non-human NPCs are not applicable). Example, you want to spawn a frienly Resistance Rebel. You can choose from about 10 choices: crowbar, stun baton, pistol, shotgun, smg, the rifle, the annabelle shotgun, the rocket launcher or even a briefcase that's useless. You could also set up strongholds and fortresses, from scratch or from a certain place in the selected map. Example, in the TDM_Hometown1999 map, there are lots of rooms and places to hold out in such as the restaurant located in the middle of the map. It is a very suitable place to hold out in. Put barricades, fortifications all all those stuff you need in order to survive. Then spawn some enemies, and KA-BAM! Instant combat gameplay!! That's what you call Combat-On-Demand!! That's what you call GARRY'S MOD. Get Garry's Mod 9 now for free!(needs Half-Life 2) or get Garry's Mod 10 for 10 dollars on Steam. And of course, Garry's Mod uses the source engine.

Lately, I've been hearing news of this Wiimote clone. I think it's called the Ps3 move? Sorta like that. It's just like a Wiimote, except that it's for the Ps3. Maybe the Ps3's being beaten by the Wii, so they made their own fitness-mote.(Get it, Fitness-mote? hehehe....) But the Ps3's sick graphics definetely won't lose, eh? I don't even own a Ps3 or a Wii, but I know from the reviews and crap, that the Ps3's kick-ass visuals will definetely stand tall among many gaming consoles.
The description says it all. I just got Garry's Mod 9 a few days ago, and it totally kicks ass. I already uploaded a few videos of my gameplay to youtube, just go to my channel. I've already played the legendary map, GM_CONSTRUCT. It's real fun, I just can't get enough of it. I recommend you guys get it too, it's 100% free!!
When one mentions PC games, PC gamers quickly get one thing in mind: STEAM. Yep, Steam,The Ultimate Online Game Platform. The Steam Client is available for free from their online store, and once you get it, you should be happy. Even though you did not purchase any Steam games, you can download demos, trailers, and sometimes, there are also " Free Weekends ", where you get to pre-load and play a full-version game for a weekend only. Sometimes, there are also full-version games you can play for a week or so, and Public Game Betas for even a month. Of course, Steam needs an Internet Connection, And once the client is installed, you will need to create a free account on the website in order to purchase games, download demos and much more. I already have Steam installed for a year or so now, and I already have, like , 10 Steam games such as Left 4 Dead 2, Half-Life 2, Killing Floor, Gmod, Counter-Strike games and much more. Oh, and Steam has more than 1 million users, and you could make friends instantly when playing games online. So what the hell are you waiting for? Download Steam now if you don't have it!!!
MAC Users should've known this since the first release of such games. Yes, that's right. Steam is now compatible with MAC systems, and so are some games such as Half-Life 2, Left 4 Dead 2. Killing Floor and much more. There are new achievements too, both for the PC games and MAC games. Plus, players could also play in cross-platform. (MAC players vs. PC players online.) This is indeed, a ground-breaking event in the history of gaming.
Recently, I've seen a freeware clone of the most popular online fps game ever through FPSBANANA. COUNTER STRIKE: 2D. Yup, that's right, 2D. It's not a first person shooter, it's just a clone of one. Instead of first-person, it's in top-view, the same as that of some online flash games, except this one can be played offline, and even without steam, and it's 100% legal. It uses some kind of flash engine called Unreal Software Engine. (Of course it's not the Unreal Tournament engine, Noob!)
You can download it here: www.cs2d.com Now, let's talk about its gameplay. Counter Strike- 2D : has the same modes, except for domination and Capture the flag. You could even play a 2D zombie mod offline. You could also create your own maps, not through a Hammer Editor*, silly. You get to create 2D maps and you have a wide selection of tiles: the 2D version of 3D items, textures and all that ORIGINAL stuff. Creating your own map here is far from creating maps through the Hammer Editor. Creating one with the Hammer Editor will take hours or even days to finish, while creating 2D Maps with CS:2D's built-in map editor will take no longer than two minutes, 10 minutes at maximum,because even a 5-year old could make these 2D maps. Oh, did I mention the game audio? It's almost the same with the original game, but it still lacks something.... Something.... ORIGINAL. Some gun sounds are different, and some are the same as of that in the original. How about the buy menu, you ask? Ugly, Low-Detail vguis*. The Conclusion: For a free game that's only 6mb and has a fast installation, it's worth the download. Give it a try! For me, I'll give it 5.5/10.0. Here's a screenshot:
