HL2 Ep1 (Score 1)

Half life 2: Episode 1 was just another iteration of the franchise, until... I made it my goal to ONLY use the gravity gun, take no health loss, and carry a gnome you can find early on, all the way to the endgame. That little gnome was my adventure companion, gravity was the only gun i had, and binding mouse4/mouse5 to Quicksave/Quickload was a godsend in order to not lose health. The hardest area was the strider battle near the end, where I thankfully had stockpiled numerous explosive barrels from the previous area in order to activate the 'Magnusson' bombs latched to the striders. I placed the explosive barrels in key spots around the map (as well as the Magnusson devices), then quickloaded every time I took damage during the fight, quicksaving when a small fraction of the current combat was completed, hard saving when I could. Using creative ways to approach each situation, I relied on luck more often than not, but it was a real sense of accomplishment after completing a near impossible scenario, to get out without a scratch, using no more than a gravity gun, wit, and patience - oh and the car's bumper. Waiting with an interesting expression back at the base was none other than my trusty gnome companion. I'm currently playing Fallout 3, exploring everything there is to explore obsessive compulsively.
