Well I have just had a play on this game, I was expecting it to be a bit different but its the exact same Half life 2 from the PC that was out 2 years ago?? except its for the 360 !! Surely, after all this time has passed they could of at least made the effort to make a different version ??

there are supposed to be five games in this box
half life 2
half life 2 episode one
half life 2 episode two
portal
team fortress two

half life 2 episode two and portal are the new ones - i hope it is different, i've just ordered my copy from amazon (pc version)

Opps, your right !! When the game started i just kept pressing "A" so I went into the 1st game, Team fortress is online only and i dont have online for my 360 but i will try those others tomorrow

oh I thought HL2 Ep 2 was the second, not the third in the series of games. I've not heard anything about there being an episode one that is different to the original game.

what would scooby do

There was HL2, then HL2 Episode 1, and now HL2 Episode 2.

The PC version of episode 2 has much much better graphics IMHO.

Motion blur, High dynamic range lighting, bloom etc

Definitely looks nicer

How silly of me, thinking episode 2 would actually be episode 2, and not really episode 3!!

Looks like I have some another Half life 2 game to look forward to then

By all accounts HL2 Episode 2 is very good.

what would scooby do

Yes it is indeed. You get to drive round in a proper V8 muscle car albiet with most of the bodywork missing. I'll try and post up some pics.

what would scooby do

Here's some pics, no doubt photobucket has taken some of the quality out:

Doesn't look that good on my machine. I have to be in lower detail and only 800x600 I needs to find me the cash for a new PC

It looks realy good on the 360, I have it for the pc but my monitor limits the spec

I thought the 360 version isn't out until this Friday or did you get it from Gem

as its 2+ years i think since HL2 on the xbox came out i wonder how much its improved

Isn't motion blur DX10 (Vista only) Hope not.

Quite looking forward to this and I'm going to make the effort to play TF2 online as I've never had time to play online multiplayers.

I wonder if the naked Alyx mod still works. Makes for some rather amusing screen shots.

I have all the effects enabled on dx9, not exactly sure what extra's dx10 gives you.
