Even I know Half Life is not an RPG, its an FPS. I would have thought that was obvious from the fact that you shoot things. A lot.

I get what you're saying. A lot of it is where you started and what you grew up with. At risk of destroying what little geek cred I have, I first played D&D about two years ago. Most of my early gaming was on consoles and even the games I played on the computer didn't (and still don't)...

I think this is where we differ. I feel like I have a lot more control over the outcome of combat in RT, whereas TB feels like it's being played for me: Choose action from a list, watch action happen, wait until opponent does same, repeat until one of you is dead. Granted, I've played a lot...

Given that stunningly insightful commentary it's a wonder I don't have a boyfriend. /sarcasm Maybe I should have been more clear when I wrote the post, but, in all honesty I didn't expect many people to ever see it. The teaser grabbed my attention because that is what they are meant to do...
