So I had a feeling of what I was getting into the moment I saw leaping mutant silhouettes on the distant rooftops. But I wasn't nearly as prepared as I should have been. Ravenholm scared the pants off of me. At one moment a leaping mutant would be destroying my face whilst I struggled to equip my shotgun, and without warning, another would ninja sneak my science-loving ass and beat the living snot out of me. For the majority of the area, I was having a hard time conserving ammo, and at one point I cleared a large area but restarted it for the sake of getting out with more ammunition. To top it all off, Father Gregory is a total douche. I mean thanks for the shotgun, guy, but are you really going to make me wait for the cart that long? And then creep me out by laughing hysterically as you burn yourself? Not cool, I thought minister's had more class than that.
Despite my fears and frustrations, Ravenholm has been my favorite area of the game so far. I can't wait to talk about HL2 on the show next week.
Thanks for all of the great feedback, guys!
