This is just a personal curiosity. I need to spend more time playing. I know that may sound crazy but I spend much more time on the site than I do playing and that has to change.

I apologize for the EuroGamer link not working I missed one character in the URL. Anyway, it’s now working and it’s VERY important you visit the page before voting, because it gives you the information you need to decide.

When you look at how many maps and mods were released for Half-Life 1 and how many for Half-Life 2 it seems that HL2 is running out of steam (Pardon the pun!)

So, this week’s (Late again Dammit!) Poll Question is:
Have players become bored with single player Half-Life 2 maps and mods?

Back in March 2007 I asked Would you pay for a mod? A similar question was raised just yesterday when Chris Fox asked in a comment: How much ad revenue do you think a mod could potentially generate, Phillip?

Let me address something similar before I talk about ad revenue.

Now, at first glance you would probably think that most visitors to PlanetPhillip.com have all the games in the Half-Life series but I have a suspicion that many are younger gamers and as such don’t have all of them. So this week’s (late again!!) question is

Which single player Half-Life games do you own?

The first SP FPS game I really become addicted to was Unreal. I loved it like a puppy. Then after playing hundreds of maps and mods and Return to Na Pali, Unreal 2 was finally released and while the concept art and visual were great I felt no connection with the original. For me the biggest mistake was not continuing the story somehow. So this weeks poll question is

Do you think there will ever be another single player Unreal game?

I’ve been quite vocal in my opposition to episodes in their current form, especially from Valve but I realized yesterday that I haven’t asked you your opinion!

This week’s poll question is:
Would you have preferred Half-Life 3 as a full game or as episodes?

---

We buy games and play them. There is a one-off cost and we play it as many times as we want or as little as we want. There are other financial models within video games, but none for Single Player.

This week’s poll question is:
Would you consider paying a monthly fee to play single player games?

---

With so many games and mods available to play choosing can be difficult. If, unlike me, you play multiplayer games and mods then the choice can be even harder. So this week’s question focuses on how you make that choice.

What is the deciding factor when choosing which mod or map to play?
