Half-Life

By geoffcalver Half Life 2: Episode Two begins right where Episode 1 left off. The Citadel has come crashing to the ground, City 17 is in ruins, and your train out of dodge has derailed. You awake to find Alyx outside, thankful you’re alive. She helps you out using the Gravity Gun, and thus begins your mission.

By noreply@blogger.com (Adam Whitehead) Half-Life 2 (****½) is no longer available as a solo game in the UK, but only as part of The Orange Box, alongside Episode One, Episode Two, Team Fortress 2 and the spectacular Portal. This package, available for the PC, X-Box 360 and PlayStation 3, is well-recommended. The game is still avai...

Okay, it was a short lived experience, but when it was so good and essentially a freebie in a box containing Half Life 2: Episode 2 and Team Fortress 2, who cares? Today sees the release of Portal: Still Alive on the Xbox Live Arcade ...

Anyway, here is why you should play HL2 if you haven't already:Gameplay: VALVe shows why it is one of the best FPS developers in the industry. A very "refined" FPS experience with great pacing & tight controls.Audio: Superb audio design. My Dolby Digtial 5.1 system got a nice work-out wit...

By Daimyo FoF: I started modding (in a serious way) with Half-Life 2, I guess the choice was made before the mod development started. I feel comfortable with Source, it has the widest modding community and Valve has a good track of modding support.

By Joeb I never really played Half Life 2 all that much, but I can say that it looked good (I’m not the biggest HL fan to be honest). However I did give CS: Source quite a bit of play time. I enjoyed it, the graphics were a lot better than the ...

By Rirath Portal can be finished in around 3 hours, and Team Fortress 2 has no single player or bot support thus can only be played over Live, with a limited map selection. But take each of these short games, throw in the original HL2 for good ...

By Writer Unit32 Episode One was great too.Everything HL2 was,but better.Yeah,it was short,but it's a friggin' episode! Episode Two looks like it's gonna be amazing.The trailers roXX0rd my soXX0rs and I dare not try to find any flaws.And when I imagine playing it...

There have been a couple earlier attempts at in-game commentary, most notably the "Developer's Cut" of The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay (2004), a game that sounds awful but is widely considered one of the best modern first-person shooters. Valve was clearly inspired b...

By Armin Siljkovic Half Life 2 has sold millions of copies and won countless awards for its excellent achievement in creating a cinematic gaming experience. The official sequel, Episode 1, used to be called "Aftermath," but developer Valve chose to split it up in three Episodes, released over two years. The...

By Armin Siljkovic The original SiN game came out at about the same time as Half Life, in 1997. And as Half Life stole all the attention, not much was left for SiN, witch was a mediocre game, all things considered. Now the first of several episodes has been released via Steam, and sports a few hours of game play for r...

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. It lags in some places though, but usually, when it happens, it happens in places without much importance, wh...

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 I.T. Sme It would seem reasomable it will all end as some sort of computer simulation/alternate reality, simply because in both games everytime you get killed or don't accomplish an objective you get a message something like, "subject Gordon Freeman failed to do..blah..blah." It wouldn't surprise...

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 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 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 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...
