Team Fortress 2 Free Weekend
Valve offered up a free weekend of Team Fortress 2 this weekend; I snuck in an hour of playing last night and came away with a couple of impressions - it's a lot of fun, if a bit repetitive. I like the class-based combat and how (much as with Enemy Territory) it forces you to play as a team and support each other if you want to have a chance at winning the map.
Between that and my experience playing the Half Life 2 demo, I think I'll (finally) pick up a copy of the Orange Box, sounds like a lot of fun. I'm also waiting on Call of Duty 4 to drop on the Mac (July 7), and I need to fit a couple more Wii games into the budget.
Incidentally, there may be something to that whole thing about violent videogames affecting real life actions. Playing water guns with my 3 year old out in the front yard is fun, however I've played enough ET to instinctively go for the head shot, which it turns out is not quite as safe in real life :/
