since it appears everyone in here is raving about the source engine, let me ask one damn question.

Why the hell are barrels made out of rubber in CS: Source?

lol, never said it was perfect =) But for what it can do visually with minimal PC specs, I would say it is a damn good engine. I actually went back and played through HL2, Lost Coast, and Ep 1 when I got my 8800 and my "big ass monitor of doom". The games look fantastic even now and HL2 was released in 2004.

Honestly the graphics rival games that are coming out today, and while it may no longer be in the top 1%, but the fact that a 2004 game still looks so amazing says a lot about the engine, and it says a lot about the developers.
