Just went though Episodes 1 and 2 of Half life2 with the developers commentary, like, I loved Valve before, but now, just Wow, you guys are truly amazing. The amount of work that goes into those games is amazing. Unlike most people, I like how they are bringing them out in episodes, yes it takes longer to get the full length, but each episode has upgraded graphics, upgraded technologies, upgraded UI, upgraded everything! I don't mind Episode 3 is taking so long, the new things in it will be amazing, and even if they aren't, Half life's story will be there, so it will be amazing anyway.
