I just played half life 2 again..
.. great physics but fuck all really happens, big wide open spaces with little detail or action.

Mind you, fuck loads better than any call of duty product.

How old is the franchise now.. ?

Half Life 2
Is a contender for finest video game of the last ten years.

Agreed
But only after rigorous scientific testing.

By that I mean, actually playing it again for the first time in 6 years.

Perfect pacing.

It is nearly perfect in form, pacing and function.

Fool.
The last thing gaming needs is more FP shooting. Go buy Modern Warfare again or something and write "Haf Lief" on the box so you think you're playing shootier Half Life.

I've recently (last month) finished the game & Eps 1 & 2
again, after a few years. Still absolutely splendid.

hmmm
I loved Half Life - but Half Life 2? Nah.

Far Cry was sooo much better. Massive long game, fantastic scenery, action and weapons.

Crysis was almost as good, but too short.

That is my opinion.

FarCry
was dog hard. As much as i loved it, i hated it in equal measure for making me shit myself as soon as the mutant chimps appeared.

The Deathclaws in New Vegas have nothing on their simian bastardry.

Bioshock.
That is all.

Also, System Shock 2 > Bioshock by a massive margin.

Deus Ex, *that* is all.
Half life is a fantastically well-made series of scripted events. I prefer to make my own choices, however.
