Half-Life 2 Mod: Riot Act

There’s a new Half-Life 2 mod up on Half-Life Files. Riot Act is a small single player mod featuring full HDR. You play as Jamil Lee, a young member of the resistance, who’s been captured by the Combine and imprisoned at Nova Prospekt. The opening is enough to raise my interest.
Numbness and rage.
Fright and anger.
I open my eyes. Oh, well. My cell is pitch dark anyhow.
“Block E1″. I heard their inhuman voices.
Lying on this cold metal bed, I stretch my arms along my sides.
This must be the right posture to fit in a pod.
I do not tolerate the idea of not being ready.
Yes, but ready for what?
No, I won’t give way to grief.
A squeaky sound…
No, no way. It can’t be true.
The door opens, light replaces darkness.
I will ask for a reason later. Now I have a choice to take. An easy one.
I will run the hell out of here, whatever it takes.
It’s time to get a little revenge.
It’s time to start my own riot act.

I’ve played the mod… LOVE IT. Short and sweet – gave me something to do until I can afford HL2 EP2. Wish the team had a forum or something b/c I’d love to send them my compliments. I’d rate it 11 out of 10 stars! They kept the spirit of the original game amazingly, plus tied it in to the story line with out intersecting it directly (and ending up destroying any “un-knowns” about the current story line)… They could fork the franchise and probably make some money if they decided to take it further! I know if they come out with more, I’d pay for it!
