After playing four maps and testing out all nine classes in Team Fortress 2, it seems this game should be another of this year's entertaining arena shooters. It comes as part of the Orange and Black Box packages, which both contain Half-Life 2: Episode 2 and the first-person puzzler Portal.

This single-player mod pits you against wave after wave of zombies in a battle for your life.

If you're one of the nine people on earth who don't own Half-Life 2 and want to check out Counter-Strike Source, Valve is offering the people who do, the ability to invite people to play for free. The catch is that the person who wants to play, has to install Steam and create a user account.

This version includes new maps, new animals, and bug fixes.

In Half-Life, the G-Man made you. In Half-Life 2, he used you to defeat Dr. Breen and start the Resistance. In Episode One, he's lost control.

Fans of the Half-Life franchise are used to waiting, but for once they don't have to. Half-Life 2: Episode One, the next chapter in the story of crowbar-wielding physicist Gordon Freeman, is here, a year and a half after Half-Life 2.

Originally known as Aftermath, Half-Life 2: Episode 1 is a sequel/expansion pack that picks up where the cinematic first-person shooter left off. It focuses on Alyx Vance, who was merely a supporting character in the previous game. Look for it on the PC in June 2006.

By Dongo I recommend getting the Xbox version though. At least you don't have to install crappyware as Steam on your PC. I also noticed that the Xbox version does not have stutteting problems.

By Loki I still don't get the story. You move from A to B, everybody seems to know Freeman but Freeman can't say a word the whole damn game. Doom had at least a sound when you tried to press the open-door key in a wall or were getting hit. Freeman is voiceless.

By Clacker What alot of people think of as plot holes (like why only certain aliens attack you) failed to realize the actions in HL1 affected the HL2 world, and the only aliens that attack you are xen animals without low intelligence.  They will attack everyone, including the Combine.  Gordon saved th...

By Paul I for one am very thankful that we will hear (or not hear as it were) from Gordon Freeman again, and in what is bound to be another totally different setting with another amazing storyline and another MINDBLOWING cliffhanger, roll on half life 3!!.

By I.T.

By NightHawk_101 Overall a superb, exciting and obviously the best game of the year for myself and others. Go HL2!!! It rocks. Looking forward to HL3 all!!! P.S: For all you Halo 2 fans; HL2 S#%T's all over Halo 2 in more ways then one.

By Spartan-117 Halo 2 has the best graphics, storyline, shooting, and best main character in all of video games! It will be game of the year, and will make Half Life 2 suffer a long painful death.

By ryan I've gotta say, well done Valve. This is another great and revolutionary game. Your story line is wonderful and the endings to the game, although they give little new information to the not-so-observant, are excellent starters for their follow-ups. Don't stop.

By mickey halo 2 is much better

By pissed of at HL Another thing that didnt ruin the game but is a step down is that this time around the balck and white headcrabs are the only aliens youll really have to worry about (along with the headcrab controlled zombies). EVERYTHING else is combine. Yeah you get a few of those hanging aliens from hl1 whi...

By Mr Anderson... One thing you have to understand (to all the ending haters) is that Half Life 1's ending was no better than its sequal. This leaves the game open for more storyline, i find it intreguing that Half Life could actually become a Saga rather than a one time blow off. To be honest, the only reason we we...

By I have gone insane over hl2's ending and Freeman is comparable to neo in the matrix...someone with insurmountable energy and natural super intelligence (the reason he survives--using his head) and is noted by the G-man as "the one" that can bring back the balance to nature on Earth..the G-man thus, uses Freeman as a weapon to aid...

By Jimmy I really can't wait for the expansion/negt HL game to come out i have all of the previous games and i love every single one of them..I ending really pissed me off too...I will be thinking about it for days now..THANX VALVE!!!!!...

By Jon I just beat the game on medium, took me about 15 hirs I guess. I loved this game I really do. The story was what kept me going more than anything else, I just had to find out what would happen next. The ending, good grief charlie brown. I have a basic concept of what happened. Obviously Gman has access t...

By devon As for the ending, WTF. I mean, I love HL, but the ending delivered nothing. It pretty much left the whole game as it started, (SPOILER ALERT for all you nerdz.) Gordon is still incarcerated by the G-man. But where the hell were all the aliens and cool monsters of Half Life 1? Where were the puzzles...

By kel yeah Just completed HL2 was really pissed with the "ending" , the ai of your team mates generally sucked , even the enemy werent that smart , the jungle troops in farcry were better .the game engine is nice at best ,but no multiplayer ....? overall the games been a big disappointment

By Jay Whats the deal with video games these days and not having a definate ending. I finished Halo 2 three days ago and was pissed that there was no 'real' ending. I was expecting a huge covenent battle but nothing. Then I just finished Half Life 2, and the same fucking thing. This is really starting to g...

By OkinawaMarineSSgt Dude, the gameplay ruled 'em all. The day before I started playing HL2, I got a copy of HALO2. Played it once, and sold it to a friend. Did not even finish the game. Like you said, it's unfair to compare the two games, being two different platforms (PC & d aging XBOX). I'd rather wait for HALO2 PC v...

By Dave Also, another big short coming was the lack of multiplayer experience. How can you release a first person shooter without the mplayer aspect of the game. I enjoy at the end of the day a good fight out with 30 other individuals online. Hopefully this will come though add-ons.

Multiplayer Rank Game My Thoughts 1 Half-Life 2 Great graphics, great puzzles, great story, great feel, great experience. Steam rocks with auto-updates and patching. My favorite and the ultimate FPS PC game so far. 2 Halo 2 Unparalleled totally seamless multiplayer with up to 16 folks tra...
