In July of 2006 I made a post about a fantastic Half-Life 2 single-player modification called MINERVA. I’ve just discovered that an updated version was released in October that contains the next two chapters in the ongoing saga. I haven’t tried it yet but intend doing so once I’ve gotten Half-Life 2: Episode 2 (talk about a clunky name) out of the way. That said, based on the previous installments alone, I’d be happy to say that if you’re into HL2 and would like some more Combine-killing action then you’d do worse than to check out MINERVA.

The page that I linked above contains links to a direct download (or transmission, as the author has it) and a torrent. The download contains the previous chapters as well as the latest so don’t worry if you haven’t played through them yet. To be honest, it’s so long since I played them that I’ll probably just start at the start and work my way through again.
