Title: Steam leaves me cold
Review: Half-life 2 seemed to have the potential to be a fair game, but then I found I was doomed to be in the grips of the "Steam" company and no amount of effort made it possible for me to play the game without at least starting on line. This is a suck system. Next, I started running into software glitches. For one thing, the tunnel entrance to get the airboat to the final helicopter battle shows itself open to the player on foot, but solidly locked closed to the airboat, and you cannot survive on the other side without the airboat, hence, the game is terminally flawed. You CAN'T progress. After paying top dollar for what was supposed to be a good game, I am pissed as hell at having bought a piece of junk that won't play. It has crap controls anyway. Save your money. This is a rip-off.
