Yeah, I agree with you on Valve. Even though Half-Life was a kick ass game, they need to do more to prove themselves that they aren't one-hit wonders. Half-Life 2 is shaping up pretty well but they will need to do more than just Half-Life and its mods. And id is going to work on a whole new IP after Doom III comes out so I am very interested in what that will be like. And the thing with id is that they can do whatever the hell they want and will still be awesome. They can make a game about high-heel, pink tutu wearing gay ninjas invading Myanmar armed with nothing but sex toys and it'll still be impressive. Raven is very awesome but I was really disappointed with Soldier of Fortune 2. Other than that I can't think of a game I haven't enjoyed by them. I've known so many people that haven't witnessed the greatness of Star Trek Elite Force just because its a Star Trek game. And their old school stuff (Heretic, Hexen) rocks too. I can't wait to see what they've done with Quake IV. Oooh I can't wait.
