(Half life 2)

The Story of gordan freeman... after the Black mesa Incident who knows what would happen in a City filled with millions of combined soldier and a main character who controls everything Dr. Breen. You start from coming of a train and you enter this city called ''City 17'' to be curious you start to ask yourself why are you in this city and what you have to do will all this. Well thats what to discover as Gordan you have fellow friends that live in it Alix,Eli vance and Barney and also dog and a scientist and they help you to understand what is going on. As you play you discover that the ''cops'' who are the combine soldiers are just there to assasin people and to use you for the citadel but as you discover you see that there are some betrayors in the game wich does reveal at the end of the game I had pleasure playing through the whole game and the ending is the best.

Gameplay: In half life 2 the gameplay is amazing you can drive the little hovercraft the little car and you pass in many different environments that you go through and the story is the best aspect since that is what keeps you from playing in the whole game as gordon freeman you have a lot to prove to Eli that you can discover what is going on in the city and that it takes a while to know.

Graphics: Most parts of the game look extraordinary most of the places look real but some missions do like some others like you might even play an hour in the same environment but the game does well to vary. The gun effects are great and it really feels like youren the game escaping from city 17 holding a sub machine gun the gun does well to support steady aim.

Sound: Another great thing about the game the music there is so much music in this game some songs that played in the game are pretty much gone from my head since so many parts of song plays in parts of the game it makes it like there is infinite music and every part of the game is involved in some rough FPS shooting.

Half life 2 is a great game to anyone I reccomend it since its worth the price and you will play this for a long time.

(Half life 2 episode 1)

A great part of extra gaming for the half life series where you and Alix escape from the City 17 and discover what Judith is trying to do. While escaping from city 17 something big happens.

Gameplay: Better than half life 2 imagine how better and better half life is getter good now you get to drive the cars again but with more shooting action right in the begining you feel the presence of the combine soldiers. Gordon and Alix have a great part to reveal of the path of the combine soldiers. Guaranteed that you will have more fun in this episode since its short great and entertaining in every single chapter of the game.

Graphics: The graphics have gotten a lot better and the framerate has gotten stable and the enemies characters and villain look even more sharp. The destroyed city 17 looks realistic but some parts of the city are pretty dull and flat in some ways for example the truck and the rocks that block the path and how the car is perfectly shaped to block the road that is what is a bit worse.

Sound: Better music better sounds perfect I liked a lot better on how the variation of levels go well with the music.

(Half life 2 Episode 2)

Best half life episode to date. You and alix go to white forest to go see Eli and to expose the rocket to destroy the citadel portal. On the road to white forest you do encounter a lot of enemies who will destroy you.

Gameplay: Episode 2 is even better in every way the effects that the portal does in a portal storm is amazing I felt like I was watching a movie because episode 2 has better effects in everything and the story is 3x better. Totally reccomend to follow the half life series you can't miss it if you like fps games.

Graphics: Graphics are better now framerate no problems and the levels and everything looks sharp did not find any defaults in the graphics. I wonder what half life 2 episode 3 is gonna get in my review probably a 10 we dont know yet but I will play it and buy it the day it comes in stores.

Sound: Like always valve and their music is extraordinary a great aspect of the game since it suits up the good moments and this game has definetly gone better in the environments and the action on screen.

(Team Fortress 2)

Chose a class enjoy Online since this game is all about Online play.

Gameplay: Once again valve is always impressing me with their games all of them is over good its all a good concept with a good story. Even know this game is only online its still great to play over and over again no problem. You get to encounter people online with mini turrets placed on the ground and a good weaponry selection.

Graphics: The graphics are a little bad for a 360 game the game looks like its too bright and it looks like youre playing and original xbox game to be honest.

Sound: Sounds are pretty bad except the guns and the little effects are pretty stupid but for a fun game when youre bored this is worth it.

Portal

Which genious had the idea to build a game out of portal seems boring and lame keep reading review.

Gameplay: The hole concept of gaming went off charts with a new game called portal this game is based on testing your skills on using portal you may have trouble in some areas but this game is totally fun and its cool to see when you fall down since the amount of rooms that you see is amazing I wonder when you fall down does it stop ?. Excellent Idea of game.

Graphics: Graphics are pretty decent needs a bit more shine to some areas beside that its great.

Sound: New sounds new effects totally new some levels actually look like in half life 2 but all of the levels look the same and you dont have very much options rather than moving on portals.

In conclusion The orange box cannot be missed if youre looking for a compilation of great games choose this if you dont you may be looking forever and ever. Thanks for reading look at my account I have 4 more pages of reviews I love doing reviews after beating every single game I play. Thanks
