    Not as good as the PC version, but still a great game

    Half-Life 2, now this was a gamechanger when it came out for PC 10 years ago. This is one of the greatest FPS of all time, hands down. I don't think too many would argue that. But the Xbox version, for me, felt slightly inferior to it's PC counterpart. For one, obviously, the graphics had to be toned down a little. But they still looked great, don't get me wrong. Using the Xbox controller to play kind of felt a little weird as well. Sometimes feeling like you're running on ice when moving around. The gameplay was still spot on though, very well done just like on the PC. The sound and voice acting still being top notch as well. And the physics that everyone loves is still great on the Xbox and can still bring a little laughter every now and then. The load times can get quite long sometimes though. Everything else is pretty much the exact same about it. If you don't own a gaming PC then this is a good way to experience it through your console.
