Here (http://www.moddb.com/mods/research-and-development) is the moddb page and here (http://www.destructoid.com/indie-nation-research-and-development-140336.phtml) is a review by destructoid (they like it).
It's a HL2 puzzle game (a la Portal), but the weapon of choice here is the famous Gravity Gun.
A puzzle-based mod where your character is never allowed to wield a gun, Research and Development has better level design and more imaginative situations than most first-person games I've ever played. You know those moments in really well-designed puzzle games like Braid or Portal where a solution reveals itself and you think, "wow -- how clever"? Research and Development has about a dozen of those. It also combines action and puzzle-solving with remarkable dexterity, and is seldom frustrating throughout its 2-3 hour running time.
Free, but requires HL2: Episode 2
