The Electric Castle – Portal 1
A 3 chamber map, with some “behind the scenes” areas.
The map has no difficult jumps involved and includes a little bit of thinking
Deserted Russian Spaceport – Real Theme
These images are not as spectacular as some of the others in the Real Themes category, but with a similar style to the first level of 99 Bolts: Chasing Winona (POC), I think it could make a great start to a mod.

Minimicus – Half-Life
The scientists at Black Mesa have invented a shrinking machine. They are shrinking Xen creatures in order to make them easier to control.
Two shrunken Gonarchs have escaped and are breeding in the civilian community. The Marines have once again been called in to ‘contain’ the problem and eliminate any witnesses.

Poll Question 180 – Is there a difference between achievements and finishing a game?
There´s a thread on the forums where, GypsyJim, a PP reader, asks a question related to achievements: Does anybody bother? The discussion moved onto whether achievements were fun and then to the difference between achievements and finishing a game.
It´s an interesting topic that I felt deserved a wider audience, so here it is as a poll question

Red Trees – Portal 1
The map was created in one day by the author, who wanted to let off some steam and challenge his knowledge of textures toggles.
The theme is “Circuitry” mixed with “Trees”

Condominium – Half-Life 2
This map was originally created for Zombie Panic: Source but converted by the author into an SP map.
You are in a Condominium and need to restart the generator to get the lights back on.
All the time you will be attacked by various headcrab-based enemies.

Poll Question 179 – Would you like to see a mod break the fourth wall?
In case you don’t know, the Fourth Wall is the imaginary “wall” at the front of the stage in a traditional three-walled box set.
I don’t know if it’s used for gaming or even if it’s been broken in games or mods before, but I thought it would make an interesting question.
Personally, I think it would be fun in a humorous mod but not in a serious mod because it would break the immersion for me.
If it has been used in mods, which ones?
