Title: You are not a real gamer unless you own this.
Review: HL2 follows up the late 90's smash with a nearly perfect sequel. The new engine is amazing and the single player is truly incredible, if a bit too short for my taste.The real meat of this package is the online mods however. Make sure you get a version that will allow you unfettered access to both the original mods (TFC, CS, Day of Defeat, Natural Selection, etc) as well as the new mods (CS:Source, DOD:Source, etc). Valve pioneered the use of community to build and improve their games after release when they released their level-editing software (worldcraft) as well as the SDK (Software Dev Kit) for complete remakes to the public for free. This is why HL1 (mods) are still some of the most played games on the internet today, and will continue to grow with time.
