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,...

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...

Like many gamers I was beside myself when I heard that Half Life 2 was being made. Unfortunately at the time I was in the majority meaning that like many gamers I didn't have the computer hardware to run the game. I had to wait for what seemed...

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...

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...

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....

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...

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. ...

After playing the original Half-Life, it almost seemed impossible that there would ever be another shooter to ever surpass such a perfect game. In the years after Half Life, there have been games like Halo, Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, all of which are...

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.
Graphically, for...

When I completed this game I felt depressed. One, if not the, most amazing experiences of my life was over.
Without question this is one of the most epic games ever. I should be able to just say that it is one of the best games ever...

So half life 2, eh? Lots of people have been waiting for it and that includes me. I'm gonna just tell you a few reasons why.
Firstly, a whole new feeling - being outside! In the first game you were stuck inside for 99% of the game. Now you...

"Holy crap, that was cool" is what you'll say over and over again before you beat this game. I and thousands of other PC gamers have been waiting for this game forever, and guess what, six years is worth the wait. Half-Life 2 is borderline...

The game was just. . . awesome. It definitely gets my vote for game of the year. The environments were alive. The level design was flawless. The story was immersive. The graphics were cinematic. The use of music was perfectly timed. ...

This game literally left me in shock...
The first part was so grand! I felt like I was in George Orwell's 1984, I kept looking for the Minsitry of Truth. I half expected the guy on the video screens to be "Big Brother". It was...

Instant Classic.
I've waited with baited breath for this title for years...especially the last year...and it has proved worth the wait.
For neophytes, prepare for some frustrating problem solving. Try everything to...

Smoothest and best programmed PC game ever, just not as groundbreaking as Halife 1.
I think the fact that as great as Halflife 2 is, only in a few points did it really wow me. I'm horribly jaded I admit it, whats a guy to do?
Though...

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?
Graphics: 10/10
Sounds: 10/10

After six years of development, stolen code, leaked betas, missed deadlines, and tons of hype, Half-Life 2 has finally been released upon the world, though over a year after the original promised release date. Not to hold dates against Valve...

If you are wondering whether Half-life 2 is as good as everyone says it is, then stop. It is, and much more.
I love both the single-player portion of Half-life 2 and the multi-player portion, Counter-Strike: Source. The...
