Half-Life 2: Episode One

short but sweet

User Rating: 8.6 | Half-Life 2: Episode One PC

If you’re a fan of the half life series, you’ve gotta play this. 10 bucks would be a more appropriate price for this game rather than 20, but its part of the half life series, so I had to have it.

graphically, the game is still right up there as one of the best. the game takes about 5 and a half hours to play, but its very well made and an extremely fun ride. Alyx really kicks ass in this game and its cool to have an AI buddy tag along with you for the extent of the game.

I was, however, disappointed there were no vehicles to drive, nonetheless, the game had very high entertainment value and the commentary track was a very nice touch. all I want now is to know, "what happens in episode 2?"
