The modders behind Half-Life 2: Overcharged plan to release the mod next month and have celebrated the upcoming milestone with an official gameplay trailer. Mods like the Spyro-starring Half-Life demo now seem a dime a dozen, cropping up every so often to offer neat excursions off the classic franchise's beaten path. On occasion, however, the modding community digs a little deeper to deliver content that significantly expands upon the existing experience.
Of course, Black Mesa counts among the most notable of such fan-made experiences, one that remade the original Half-Life in Half-Life 2's superior game engine. It even boasts new voice acting and better assets, an incredible feat that many players won't soon forget. The Stanley Parable similarly took on a life of its own and even became a standalone game, complete with a branching narrative backed by incredible level design. Though the regularly replayed Half-Life sequel celebrates its 20th anniversary in about two years, talented members of its modding community continue finding ways to reimagine the Valve-developed masterwork.
