Damn Half Life 2 is Good
 

Am so glad I didnt play it until new PC purchased. Been playing for last 2 nights and its awesome. The graphics are amazing - the water in the canals in particular.

Just got into the airboat thingy and blasting around - the scale and quality of the scenery is the best Ive seen.

Hopefully a long way off finishing it.

Like a really good movie, the end will seem to come really quickly but only cause you enjoyed the experience so much.

I was actually a bit disappointed with it. It looks and sounds pretty, but it didn't have the same level of tension or "make you jump" moments that the first one had.Also found the end a bit of an anti-climax. Left me thinking "oh was that it?"

the level on the demo where you have to hop about on the rooftops is amazing

The ending was a bit of a let down I agree, left me craving more to be honest.

Hope you started the game on the hardest difficulty? Worth thinking about. Great game, its quite large, but easy to sail through over a short period of time. Play on hardest level! :)

I started on the middle difficulty setting - "normal" I think it is. Must admit its been pretty easy so far and the enemies arent that clever.

Still Im sure Ive plenty to go. Just love the realistic nature of it all.

It gets harder.

Manhack anyone? :D

It seems that the e-e-end was a little er, oversold Mr. Freeman.

Still a great game, and avoiding spoilers, the last section with that certain weapon was great fun :D
