[Scaryfun]

Infamous Half-Life 1 remake called Black Mesa, for Half-Life 2 Source engine, which has been in development for eight years, will be playable and ready for public download for the first time on September 14. While the mod isn't quite finished, the team has decided to share what's been done thus far. You can play Half-Life all the way up to Lambda Core. "We believe this is a great way to provide a complete-feeling 8-10 hour experience with a solid ending, make our fans happy and help us make the best overall game possible. We are still working hard on Xen and BMDM..."

Downloading!

*EDIT*
CRAP! I hate steam...
Can anyone tell me how to get this to run this on a non-steam Half-life 2 RIP?

Thanks for the heads up. Looks great. It's approx. 7.2 GB unpacked.

This also requires the Source SDK Base 2007 tool to be installed (which means an additional 4.7 GB of space).

Black Mesa Review:

[hfric]

too bad its not finished and still in BETA stage , they said it will be done when it hits STEAM GREEN LIGHT and will have STEAMWORKS ... as of now its a 4h long demo that ends before XEN

[Trey]

They ought to try raising some funds thru 'Kickstarter' , the quality is definatly there.

[Trey]

So... they do plan to finish it?

[Mister_Headcrab]

AFAIK, the developers confirmed that Xen will come later. Not this year, and it will include the Deathmatch portion as well.
