Below are my main objectives for the site.
See the Dated Archives.
See the latest 300 Comments.
Visit the Forum.
Tags are descriptive words or phrases associated with Half-Life maps and mods. They allow players to quickly find exactly the type of game element they enjoy the most.
Every reader can add tags to maps and mods and I encourage you to do so.
Please visit the Tag Guide for detailed information.
Every map and mods has a rating. This is a number between 1 and 5. By adding a rating to each map or mod you have played you help identify the Best Releases for each game.
It takes less than a second to do and is very intuitive.
Commenting on maps and mods allows you to express your thoughts in a more personal way than by adding only a Recommendation image.
Please use the comments to ask and answer questions, write reviews, make observations and generally chat about mods.
Please visit the Commenting Guide for more information.

Tags were introduced on 1st January 2008, consequently not all maps and mods have tags associated with them. They are currently being backdated.
If you are new to PlanetPhillip.com the amount of content available, along with navigating the site can seem a little overwhelming.
Therefore I have written a number of guides to help orientate new visitors.
These guides also allow more seasoned visitors the opportunity to get the most out of their visits.
To start your exploration of the site please visit the Site Help Center, alternatively you can take the Introduction Tour.
A comprehensive series of guides that will allow completely new players a clear path to enlightenment regarding the Half-Life series of games.
The guides are currently being written and edited with an attention to detail to ensure they are valuable to all new players.
Draft versions will be available for comment in the Summer.
Some services available from the site

From August I will be accepting articles, rants, etc I will publish via a new category. More information will be published in the last week of July. Stay Tuned.
So Much For Freeman is a Half-Life 2 map that hasn't recived enough attention. It's not very long but it packs some great design and even a story. With plenty of Play It Now! recommendation images it really deserves to be played by everyone.
