Tractor source chills my 5 year old son out if he gets annoyed playing trackmania. No objectives, no enemies. No time limits. And a half dozen tractors. Shame to tf2 cow didn’t make an appearence.

I’m slightly appalled that I forgot Mistake of Pythagoras. Mathematics has broken! Giant numerals are falling from the sky! Complete Japanese madness!

Any mod with puzzles based around geometric proofs wins bonus points from me.

Cargo, that site combined with that music just cracked me up. Good stuff.

Ive played through both Minerva and Riot Act in the last two days, whilst trying my own hand at Hammer over the past week or so. The amount of effort you put into minerva, and the spectacular result, is truly commendable. Should I come across the chaps/gals behind Riot Act, I would put the same words to them.

The first prettiest mod website must surely be one of the April Fool’s things I did for MINERVA an age ago. It was truly wonderful.

Other mods (links stripped ’cause they fell foul of the spam-filter – you’ll have to Google ‘em):

Day Hard – terribly buggy, with puzzles more like something out of a point-and-click adventure than an FPS, but chock full of copyright-busting film references, gameplay madness and even a spectactularly dim-witted and lecherous Jack Carver from Far Cry. You’ll either love it or you’ll hate it. I thought it was fantastic.

Rock 24 – rebellion in an island prison operated by the Combine. Pretty good!

Wivenhoe – insta-death stealth section! Apart from that, at the very beginning no less, actually alright.

Eclipse – definitely not HL2. Magical! 3rd-person! Criminally short, but quite good. I think it’ll still work.

Causality Effect – haven’t played it, but I’ve heard some people say it’s pretty good.

CSS SCI FI – Counter-Strike: Source! Except with the Combine as enemies. Single-player. Randomly generated missions. Apparently great fun, although I haven’t had a chance to play it…

Alas, no more tractors, but it’s a start.

I liked Riot Act, I gave it a little review on my friends website (to which my name links) and thought it was pretty cool, but there are a few niggles with it. Still worth a shot though, it’s nice to play a mod that provides a little side-story, I think it’s cool when people can slot an entire other story into an already developed narrative.
