Amazing, simply put. Best PC FPS of 2004.

User Rating: 9.8 | Half-Life 2 PC
Half-life 2 is an awesome game. Don't read reviews on it, go buy it. Gordon Freeman is back, kicking ass and taking names. The story is slow at the beginning, but it really picks up towards the end. Pros: • Graphics are top notch, most photo realistic shooter to date • Game play is awesome • Guns are very nice • Story is good • Throwing Chinese food at fellow humans and beer bottles at combine guards. Cons: • Motion blur, causes some motion sickness according to some gamers • Story is slow • STEAM. Valve was not prepared for the onslaught of gamers... long downloads failed connections. • "Loading..." every time you enter a new level, its loads for 5-10 seconds (or more depending on your computer). This really kills the rush and momentum built in the game...I was running from the combine and bam! "Loading..." Overall, this game is worth the wait. Playing with the physics engine is blast by itself... enjoy throwing bottles and Chinese food at the citizens! Enjoy this awesome game! Go get this game now!
