Not really. Actually not at all. The tram scenes looked okay (not great, just okay, but it's the tram scene what can you do with stills that would ever be interesting?), the office scene just looked like a messier cs_office with Vortigaunts - but then again, it's a fucking office.

It's fucking screenshots in a magazine, though, I can't expect much out of those. The only genuinely amazing scenes Black Mesa can really hope to deliver on are the genuinely amazing scenes in Half-Life, and even then they can only be captured in motion. Like getting out onto the edge of the Mesa - with lighting effects and a 3D skybox that would be genuinely exciting. Or the first few seconds of Xen. The resonance cascade scene. Etc. Even these would be boring as stills.

The tram and the office, though, are not interesting regardless.
