Why did he get in the damn tram that took you te breens office anyway? It makes no sense. If you are going to take down the ruler of the planet, you don't go there unarmed and tied up.

You've got an unnatural number of saw blades and explosive barrel AND you've got the helicopter stands. Who would WANT to shoot them!? I want to BLOW THEM UP :D

I'm surprised at how easy it is. I think the first HL was better so far, but HL2 has it beat in graphics and definately physics. The first HL had more of a "scare" factor to it, as well as a better storyline (thus far). The characters in this one are pretty cool. It's interesting to see the character development between the two girls.

I agree. But I think it was because the genre was just starting. HL2 was still good.
Kingpin was a great game at the time too.

I may like it, provided the subsequent expansion(s) explain what the f%$# happened to the world. HL2 is a great first chapter to this volume of the Half-Life saga, but it's just that: a first chapter.

I did :)
HL2 has a strange kind of storytelling, it's different from other games, but for me, it's nice.

QFT

It can't be true since it's an opinion, not a statement ;)

I didn't find Ravenholm THAT scary, I mean, Doom 3 was waaaaay scarier for me. Sometimes I couldn't play it for more than 5 minutes when am alone at night with the lights turned off.

Nothing beat running into complete darkness and getting the crap kicked out of you by god knows what.
