Looks like some jolts of electricity have been sent through Team Fortress 2 (TF2). TF2 is set to be released with HL2 episode 2. Episode 2 is due out during the holiday season. I hope the characters look the way they do in that screenshot.

The original idea for TF2 was going to be more of a military similuation. This would be back when TF2 was first announced in the late 90s. Since there is an over-saturation of military games right now, looks like they are going more toward the cartoony nature of the original Team Fortress. I hope TF2 is closer to Quake Team Fortress, than to the Half-Life version. Here is the Wikipedia entry for TF2 for more info.

Armadillo Run is a new puzzle game worthy of checking out. My nephews are addicted to Armadillo Run, and they are responsible for me becoming addicted.
