Half-Life 2: The Lost Coast

Well, it now looks about 24% prettier and 72% smoother and the stress test averaged 67.8 frames per second.

Somewhat more importantly, it's still ten minutes of pure gaming goodness.

Rather like the demo of the original Half-Life which was a concentrated shot of pure excellence and better than the full game.

(Oh, and, yes, I played a lot of Animal Crossing this evening, too.)
