When i played the first half life, i didn't really like it. However when i watched replays and g4 review, i really wanted to try Half Life 2. Honestly this game is awesome! my heart really pounded when i entered into the factory by the help of Dog ( don't know how to spell It's name). For some reason i have a bad feeling about Alex, like i can't shake the feeling she won't make it. Anyways valve really did a great job in this game
I don't even own the original half life 2, but this game is stand alone expansion. When i bought Episode one from my local retail store, it was sold for 14.99 USD price cut. I couldn't pass up since i heard so much good things about Half Life 2. Originally I wanted to wait for the price drop on Half life 2, since it is still sold for 39.99 USD, but this 14.99 really help me pick up this game. I think i will still wait for the price drop on Half Life 2, but episode one will fill the empty gap for me.

  Episode One is a continuation of the Half-Life 2 story and picks up just where you were so helplessly cut-off at the end of Half-Life 2. Stepping back into the boots of Gordon Freeman has never felt as good as it does in... Read Full Review
