Also Moondog, have you heard of "The Stanley Parable"? I'd think you'd enjoy it. It's a really innovative look at video game gameplay design.

I was actually just playing that. It's very odd. Lost Coast is just a small design made to showoff tech they had improved on and were going to implement for the episodes I think.

I got it for free, it is a single level which also has developer commentary and is generally much more graphically advanced than HL2, so yeah, a showoff level.
