Half-Life 2: Episode One is a really addictive game, probably because the people at Valve are geniuses when it comes to trying to keep the player from quitting. I found that I only paused the game for eating or for when nature called. The pack has really clever design - I'm not going to say that everything is very interesting, but the painful parts are few and the rest of the game makes up for them.
However I got a 'coïtus interruptus' feeling when the game abruptly came to an end. It just felt way too short. Still, I paid only €20 for this and I think I did get my money's worth. FPS fans that don't mind linearity should get this, and all the other Half Life games if they're playing it for the story.
