Press Quotes
“When Transmissions ended, I cringed. I wanted more so, so badly.” Kotaku “A new mod called Transmissions: Element 120 was recently released, showing what a single developer can do with two years and a whole lot of dedication.” Game Informer “Transmissions actually contains some very creative and engaging sequences, reminiscent of the action, drama, and even horror that originally drew us all to the world of Half-Life.” IGN
