    the screen goes a little fuzzy everytime you reload, i know that much. and it should load up just like the original does if you have a good copy.

    ih it does load good but games like 'half life 2' they take a lil longer i think. it could however be that it just is one of thoes games that takes longer ya know

    Well, all the HP -R discs are made by CMC. Not exactly a stellar reputation, but depending on the burner they may be ok. I have not had any problems burning CMC when I've received them as gifts, but many writers just don't like them. Probably yours is one of them, as subpar burns can absolutely cause the dirty disc message.
