This is a short video showing how the Half-Life 2 total conversion mod Eclipse looks and plays.

Eclipse is developed by a bunch of students as a project that lasted five months in total, the only update that has been released is to make it playable on lower spec systems with cards like nVidia GeForce 2.

The story and gameplay has nothing to do with the HL universe and looks nothing like it. It's a fantasy game where you control the young woman Violet from a third person perspective, but it's not like World of Warcraft or the Diablo series games, because you have to aim and move properly like in FPS games to survive and make use of your magical skills.

Unfortunately, it's a very short game, but it's good as long as it lasts, and after you've played through it, you get access to a mini game where you try to survice on one map as long as you can to get a higher score while enemies keep spawning to take you down.

Nothing more to say enjoy and be sure to download this mod and give it a go your self :)

Visit the Eclipse website (not always up though..)

Or get it at ModDB.
