Happy New Year for everybody and the best wishes for 2009 from everybody at the SteamFriends.com team. After our move to the new website system, change in colors and layout and everything that happened a few months ago I think we can say that 2008 was an interesting year with lots of exciting news, reviews and especially lots of gaming.

As 2009 has started now, we have reset all HLstatsX rank as discussed a month ago on our forums so everybody can get a chance again to climb up to that nr.1 position within their favorite Source game.

Down below I have put up some scores of the top 5 as it was before the reset.

Good luck to everyone and have fun playing!
