Half-Life 2 was great looking. Playing it was even better. Though words had failed me, Half-Life 2 is an awesome game.

I remember the hype about their predecessor: Half-Life. It was a good game for the time being and slowly died out when people began to be impatient about waiting for the sequel in the first place. Let me tell you this, this is worth the wait. Actually, after I played Halo on PC, i hated PC games because Halo was not good at all on the PC format. But now that Half-Life 2 came out, I'm in love with it again. The sound is crisp and wonderfully made and the graphics are just as good. This is a big improvement from the first one when it used texture-pixeled polygons and this is much better than anything I have ever played on PC. Doom 3 was all flash, but nothing was achieved. Halo was horrible in its gameplay and graphics were mediocre, but this is one hell of a game. But I have to say that they could have worked a little bit more on the environments, yes it's more spacey than the last one, but more detail still couldv'e been pushed and the graphics could use a bit tuning. But words fail me sometimes. Half-Life 2 is an awesome game.
