    fun game

    After passing on this game for the past three years i decided to give it a shot.  im not big on writing so this will be short and to the point.

     I gatta say im not dissapointed.  In an age of graphic powerhouses i supprised to see how well this game still holds up.  Its not ganna knock your socks off or anything but the visuals still shine.

    For the most part all of the voice acting seemed spot on to me.  I didnt have any moments of falling out of my chair laughing at the bad acting.  WHich i must admit i was totally expecting.  that being said this here aint no oscar material.

    FInally the gameplay.  like most fps i play on pc i for some reason find the gunplay to get a bit repetetive at times.  thats not to say its not fun.  with the added mix of the driving portions and some puzzles here and there it made for a good mix.

    Over all im glad i decided to give this game a go.  i never expected to have so many hours of gameplay on a first run thru of a single player fps.  If you were like me and just kept over looking this one you should wverlook no more.  Do yourself a favor and swoop this game up.

      Great thing's come to those who wait and what a wait it has been. 0

      Great thing's come to those who wait and what a wait it has been. The big question is "was the wait worth it?" And i think you'll find the answer is a resounding yes. Half-Life 2 has a completely new gaming engine that works really well and still keeps the feel of the original. You reprise your role of Gordan Freeman, waking up on a train entering City 17 and soon discover the viscious aliens that featured in the first game have taken over earth after breaking through portals. Some of the old en...
