Argh I said it 
This is probably the most simplistic and funny web-game, I've ever seen! It's named Smack the pingu! and its rules are simple:
1. Click the mouse once, and the penguin will jump off the rock.
2. Click the mouse again, and Yeti will strike the penguin to get him flying as far as possible.
321.1 is my record till now

I did it.
I bought a PlayStation 2 game. Not only that, I also bought additional PS2 hardware. I thought that wouldn't happen anymore since I got my xBox sometime ago.
The reason: Only with the PS2, you're able to play EA's latest games online. Sony's online gaming service is even for free, which is another big plus.
After playing NFS half the day, I'm already addicted. It's flashy, colorful and highspeed. In the beginning it feels like you don't have any control, but pretty soon you will recognize it's just NFS-style. Get used to it, otherwise you will miss this great title
Online gaming? It's the best. After some problems with the configuration (the menu is just misleading) everything worked fine and we were connected in just a few seconds. As you could change the style of your car in any (really: any) way you could imagine, every race is just amazing: You pretty much never see the exact same cars again.
Gotta play... byebye.

Colin McRae 4

This is one hell of a racing game
Actually, it's not racing, it's rallying - and that's what Colin McRae is famous for. It seems to be a very experienced (indeed, it is: version no. 4), well-balanced piece of software. Beginners will learn to handle the car very quickly and experts will have fun cutting the edges and finding the best way on the track for weeks.
For those, who know the rally part of Gran Turismo 3: It feels like that, just polished and kinda "on-steroid".

Half-Life 2 source found on the net!

In a message on the halflife2.net forum, Gabe Newell confirmed, that the Half-Life 2 source code was stolen from their servers and got released on the net. As you can imagine, he's really disappointed now, and he begs the users to help tracking this issue down.
Anyways: I'm pretty sure that Half-Life gets one of the greatest games ever. It's graphics and interaction just sets new standards for the genre. Buy this one!
On the other hand, it would be just too thrilling to see the sourcecode of this game. Not for stealing it or anything like that: Just for the plain fun of reading it!
Maybe Valve is really cool, trying to get the best out of the situation: Make it Opensource! I'm quite sure there's not the whole stuff out there to re-compile the whole game (think of all the game data and so on), besides that: No-one would try to compile and sell it afterwards. No-one could be that dumb.
So, just think of all the great opensource extensions to this game... People helping you fixing bugs for free, and still everybody agrees with the fact, that you're selling and getting money for this product, since you did most of the work, the design, the graphics, the marketing, and so on and on an on
Valve, I'd like to thank you for this game, no matter how you're going to handle this tough situation!

As you may have read in my last blog, I'm back on PC gaming since I have installed my new Geforce 4800. Luckily, there's a great new game out, named Enemy Territory. The best about it: It's a multiplayer-only game and totally free. Setting all options to their highest values the game is running absolutely smooth. The Linux version offers an Install Anywhere assitant, which makes the installation as easy as possible.
Look out for a covert ops named "muesli"... might be standing right behind you
Here's a little review!
