What games do you play to tide over the time between game releases you're looking forward to? Also feel free to ask for a recommendation on what to play during your dry spells.

For me currently none, going on holiday tends to knock off my gaming mojo. I'd like to know some games to tide over the 3 weeks or so leading up to shadow complex (A metroidvania style game on Xbox live).

Playing through HL2 on the hardest difficulty is a timekiller that rewards.

Gravity Gun only challenge can be lots of fun too.

What do you do till you get the gravity gun?

I just played normally. Also I doubt there's any other way to kill the gunships other than with the rocket launcher, so you can use that.

Used to be Halo PC until the entire community was raped by aimbots. Now, TF2, n, or L4D.

TF2.
Pokemon Blue/Gold.
Jak and Daxter (New PS2 game comin' this fall :D)

Halo demo for pc

PS: Shadow Complex looks awesome. I've been waiting for a company to do something up-to-date with the side scrolling forumla; Imo, it's always been a goldmine waiting to be found. Hopefully this will be as rewarding as it looks.

My only beef is a large portion of the aesthetic looks ripped from Metal Gear Solid.

I thought that was a good thing.

Bioshock, hl2, portal. If my internets is still up, tf2 and l4d. And if all else fails, I start an ambitious project that I'll never finish.

Exactly. It's a completely different format, so I don't mind the rip. In fact, I salute it.

On a side note there I've completed Shadow Complex twice now and it's amazing.
