Half-Life, the original game was a master piece. One of the first games to have an actual story line rather then a run and shoot game.
Half-Life 2 is again a revolutionary game. No longer will characters be souless A.I, these people seem real. They act real, they look real.
Half-life 2 was released on the 17th where I live. Due to the normal 16th date was a little too late for retailers. On the 17th, I rushed home to grab the game I've been waiting for 5 years.
I was astounded, my mouth wide open in a smile, and I haven't even started the game yet! I just couldn't comprehend
that I had the game in my hands.
The smile on my face continued late into the night, the longer I played the amazing game that Half-Life 2 is, the better it got. I've been known for rushing games, and finishing them in one night. I wanted Half-Life 2 to atleast last a week so I took my time, while taking my time I took a look at the amazing scenary in the game. Screenshots from this game are worthy desktop wallpapers! All look like a work of art!
But ofcourse, games have their flaws. But luckily, Half-Life 2 didn't have that many.. One thing I noticed was that, occasionally that the A.I(Usually Squad mates) were extremely anoying. For example, you want them to stay in a certain area, you walk away for like 2 minutes and they come up to you and say they will follow. And get torn to shreds by turrets. This is a major flaw in the game and can be very anoying.
In conclusion, this kills Halo 2, this sends Doom 3 back to hell. Bloody awesome game and I recommend it to anyone with a decent computer.
