![]() ![]() Marnus Labuschagne (17) went the same way to Jadeja, with the left-arm spinner also taking the wicket of Cummins (1) caught behind. Usman Khawaja (5) was the first man to fall, chasing a wide ball, before David Warner (10), Matt Renshaw (2), Peter Handscomb (6) and Alex Carey (10) all fall LBW to Ashwin. He took the first to fall on day three, bowling Ravindra Jadeja for 70 and struck again to dismiss Shami (37) and end a 52-run partnership for the ninth wicket with Axar Patel (84) the last to fall, bowled by Cummins. So turn off ‘Back to the Future’ and travel back a few years to that other game you waited years for.Todd Murphy (right) added more wickets to his tally on day three. With loads of maps, hundreds of downloadable modifications and a dedicated following, ‘Day of Defeat: Source’ is a great game to revisit if you’re tired of waiting 10 years for ‘Starcraft 2’ (don’t worry, it’s almost here). When the motion blur effect was added to the ‘Orange Box’ games, ‘Day of Defeat’ was on the list for an upgrade as well. They continue to improve upon their Source engine, and they don’t just save it for their new releases. Killing 1,000 people with the sniper rifle got you the marksman badge, and kill capture allowed you to take a screenshot of yourself getting killed if you thought it necessary. When the ‘Orange Box’ game package came out, a variety of features, including awards and kill capture, were added to almost all of Valve’s multiplayer games. You would think a game that’s almost five years old would gradually fade off the map, but no, Valve continues to add new features from some of their newer releases. By including all the favorite weapons classes, including the bazooka class and – everyone’s favorite – the sniper class, there’s always a new way to kill some Nazis (or Allies). On top of looking nice, a well-balanced distribution of weapons keeps fairness at a maximum while still allowing for some variety. The Source engine is very scalable, allowing for many gamers to run it despite the age of their computers, and the game play is pristine. To this day, ‘Day of Defeat: Source’ is probably one of the most versatile and best-looking online multiplayer WWII games. Dubbed ‘Day of Defeat: Source’ (after the game engine it uses), it is now a stand-alone game included in many of the ‘Half-Life 2’ value packs available today. Then, years after Valve released its sequel to ‘Half-Life,’ ‘Half-Life 2,’ ‘Day of Defeat’ got overhauled, redesigned and renamed. ‘Day of Defeat’ started out as an expansion for Valve’s hit first-person shooter ‘Half-Life.’ A simple download got you a World War II skin for online multiplayer battles. ‘Day of Defeat,’ for example, has gone through various stages – kind of like a butterfly, but in this case, it was beautiful to begin with. Valve, a video game developer, is one of the few who continue to add modifications and updates to games that are almost a decade old. Most games lack replay value, and very few games continue to get updates years after their release dates unless newer versions are released. In an attempt to keep from going crazy while waiting for new releases of video games, many gamers turn to older, more familiar games for their fix.
