I would love to give this game a proper review. I wasn't as impressed with the first game as most people seem to be, but apparantly the sequel is superb.

However...

I can't get the blinking thing to work.

There can be little doubt that Half-Life was always going to be a hard act to follow but remarkably, HL2 manages to deliver much of what it promised. 
 
A graphically superb game that amazingly will not have your machine chugging away,...    [ Read The Full Review... ]

THE GOOD: Always the innovator Valve has employed a realistic physics engine to help devise new gameplay possibilities.  Whether it's the ragdoll effect of a Combine soldier being blown up 20 feet in the air or using a gravity gun to carefully put...    [ Read The Full Review... ]

This game feels so serious, so intelligently made, so complex in many ways and I respect Valve alot for that. Half-Life 2 in my mind was the greatest game of 04 and I'm going to explain why I've chosen this game as the top dog. The thing that I...    [ Read The Full Review... ]

Just to start, I want to make it clear that the first Half-Life stole my soul.  I played it on My old 166, and it is still one of my favorite games. 
 
That said, I had ENORMOUS expectations for the sequel.  The best part is, it was...    [ Read The Full Review... ]

This game is, by far, the best shooter I've ever played. First because it was the first game I played over my new 3.4ghz Pentium 4 with an XL 700 ATI graphic card. I was blown out by the graphics. The sun flare, the city and....the water. Wow....    [ Read The Full Review... ]

Half-Life 2 (HL2) is, in my opinion, one of the best shooters ever made, both for technical and artistic reasons. Though Valve does require its players to jump through a few hoops to play this game, it is well worth it. The plot (or, in some...    [ Read The Full Review... ]

Definately not "The Best Game Ever", but still pretty good.


Gameplay:8/10

The gameplay in Half Life 2 is that of a standard first person shooter. Run n' Gun action with a few little puzzles here and there. ...    [ Read The Full Review... ]

How do you follow up perhaps the greatest FPS ever? Simple, do everything the original did, as well as the original, but add cutting edge graphics and possibly the best weapon ever conceived in a game of this type.

Smoothest and best programmed PC game ever, just not as groundbreaking as Halife 1.

Half-Life stands as maybe the best First Person Shooter ever, and I can easily say that Half-Life 2 is the most anticipated game ever.  Can Valve handle the presure?
