After playing through Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2: Episode One, and Half-Life 2: Episode Two, all I can say is that those were the best shooters I have ever played.
Half-Life was one of the first revolutionary 3D first-person shooters released way back in 1998, it's setting and environment would later influence future games such as Halo and BioShock. It basically set the standards for modern shooting games, and it's definitely a significant game that holds a spot in video game history.
The next game which is Half-Life 2: Episode Three, as far as we know is still in development. Hopefully it will be at this years E3, but most think that it won't be released until perhaps next year or later. Either way I'm looking forward to it.
If you love shooters, I highly recommend you check out the Half-Life games.
It sure has been awhile, GameSpot has been kind of dull for me lately so that's the main reason why I haven't been around. I've mostly been playing Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Half-Life 2. I plan to get Mario Kart Wii sometime this week or this weekend.
Now, we all know today's the Grand Theft Auto IV launch. I'm actually not a fan of the franchise, although I have played Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas which was pretty good, a bit overrated but still good.
But Grand Theft Auto IV has been receiving perfect scores from nearly everyone. Yes, I'm sure it's a good game, but a perfect game is a long stretch because there's really no such thing as a perfect game no matter how great it is.
Well, you got to hand to Rockstar. They managed to make one of the few games to recieve perfect scores, so a big congrats to them and all the people who worked on it.
It's been awhile, I have been playing a lot of Super Smash Bros. Brawl so that's the main reason why I haven't been as active as usual.
Anyway, today is Easter Sunday. Mine was alright, I got a basket of Easter candy and that's pretty good, other than that not much else happened.
I wish everyone else had a great Easter today.
I got Super Smash Bros. Brawl today, and it's simply the most fantastic fighting game I have ever played. What's really interesting is that there are four ways to play it, I use the GameCube controller because I'm so used to it after playing Super Smash Bros. Melee so much. The controls, graphics, and sound are all great, so there's barely any flaws throughout the game.
I highly recommend you get this game, it's definitely worth the wait. I'll write a review of it soon, after I'm done writing reviews for all the Mario games.
Since there's so much snow outside, the state of Ohio has advised everyone to stay inside. My parents figured I'd be bored out of my wits if I didn't have anything to do so I'm temporarily back.
GameSpot reviewed Super Smash Bros. Brawl, giving it a 9.5/10, no surprises there. I can't wait to get this tomorrow, but since there's so much snow outside it's going to be tough to get to the stores and get a copy.
So it's just the weekends where I can have some of my privileges back, so you probably won't see me when the week starts. Sorry for the confusion.
I haven't been doing good in school, and I'm leaving so I can catch up on my work. I will come back eventually, I don't know when, but like I said eventually.
