   12 hours, 15 minutes and counting....
  Until Half-Life 2 Episode 1!I just finished Half-Life 2 a few minutes ago.  I remembered seeing an advertisement for an expansion.  I pre-ordered it just now and went to the web site--only to find out it's coming out in 36 hours!Half-Life 2 was simply the best PC game I've played since its predecessor Half-Life.  Although some reviews marked HL2 down for its too-easy ending levels, I thought the cinematic-style effects made it the best part of the game.I don't buy many video games, but I figure my $20 is my vote for making more games like this :-)[Edited by - BeanDog on May 31, 2006 11:40:52 PM]
  i thought HL2 was a great game as well, my only problem with it was the llllloooonnnnggg load times. Though with all the models, texures, physics,...etc it's almost to be expected. I'll probably go looking for it come june 1st.   ;  you can pre-load half-life 2 episode 1 for at least a few weeks now. I've downloaded it and I'm not going to even buy it. I would delete it, but I don't need the disk space and I'm lazy. :)   ;  Half-Life 2 didnt grab me in the same way half-life 1 did, I have yet to complete the game. I got as far as "we dont go to ravenhome" then got bored.I have stopped playing games us much as I used to, so it may not necessarily a reflection on the game, rather my changing habbits.I guess I better finish HL2 off so I can play the addon :D   ;  I loved HL2 (never really played HL tho...), and will buy this when she comes out :P   ;  I preloaded it immediately and only bought it a couple of days ago in order to get my pre-launch $2 discount.  It's annoying to know that it's on my computer and paid for yet I still have to wait until it's unlocked.  I can't wait though.  I've been filling my time with FarCry and Day of Defeat:Source.   ;  I pre-loaded HL2: Episode one about a week before SiN Episode 1: Emergence came out(I got that one as well.  I enjoyed it).  I've been wating for this game for awhile, and I'm pretty stoked that it will soon be available ^_^.  Alyx hates zombies.  Even more than you do.   ;  I may have time over the weekend to play this. Good good.   ;  Maybe this game will actually have an ending.   ;  i never liked hl2, it was boring. the game engine itself i found impressive though. perhaps i'll get the expansion and will give it another try.
