    Fakefactory Cinematic Mod. Quite a different experience with this total graphical conversion.

    Is there any particular mod out there that improves upon the character models? I had one that I was using, several years, and a few pc's ago,...but I don't remember what it was, or where I downloaded it from. Just recently redownloaded all the Half Life 2 games. Even with every single graphical effect maxed out, the character models still aren't as nice as I remember having with the mod.

    Anyone have any tips on good mods to improve the character models?

    Also, SMOD is just ridiculous. Bascially increases the gore factor by 10 and gives stuff like bullet time.

    Theres also a mod for wiimote style controlling, it lets the cross hair move around the screen + the gun. Unfortunately I can't get it to work with my lappy, its an older XP mod and it doesn't seem to be work with win7, my wiimote works fine on dolphin but for some reason the mod won't pick it up, oh well, woulda been neat to try.
