Inside Mac Games has posted a new review of Valve Software's Half-Life 2: Deathmatch. The game gives fans of Half-Life 2 the chance to take the fight online to slay other players with a variety of weapons including the popular Gravity Gun.

Here's an excerpt from the review:

I actually don't like Half-Life 2. I recognize it as a great game, just one that doesn't appeal to me. I like the story, the characters and setting. But there is one thing I can't stand: The combat. Something about it just feels really stilted and awkward. I could never quite be sure why, I just knew I didn't like it. So I was a little hesitant to pick up HL2 Death Match, but what did I find? It's not only good - it's ridiculously fun. Placing the game in a fast paced frag-fest somehow transformed it from being unplayable, to immensely enjoyable.
