yeah well if you intend to play ep2 than you certainly should play ep1, or you will be pretty much WTFed when you start playing ep2, since there is important stuff going on in ep1. And its only 20$ so no big deal. Just get it ;)

No. They can stick their episodes where the sun don't shine. Delay after delay after delay.. And now ep2 is even more delayed because of some console version ..

no its not. at least that way they would change the engine and be in a whole new generation. the whole point of episodes was to pay less and have to wait less. we end up waiting more and paying just as much.

Yeah, I'd have bought Ep 2 if it came out around now, but when it finally does come out, there will just be better games out there.

Well, if you like Half Life and if you would like to follow the story, then yeah, you should buy it. If you are not that particular, then I guess not.

Have you played HL and HL2? if so then get EP1 it just continues the story... if not you may want to wait and just grab the Valve everything pack... In response to the guy who said waitiing 6 years for engine updates is better, the source engine has already recived two engine update, HDR and dual core support, and valve has already stated they are working on a DX10 rendering path. Valve has conceived the Source engine as a never ending platform, they will just keep adding new technology and feature as they go along from product to product.

Actually, the reason for the delay is to fix compatability issues with dx10 cards.

Yes, and along with that purchase, buy every single other game that begins with Half-Life.
