Wow! i just finished this game and it’s amazing aside from the sad ending (Honestly, which of the half-life series ending wasn’t sad?). Game-play is as excellent as any previous half-life games. it will be the best $$ you ever spent but the thing is it lasts only 6 hours. However it still doesn’t beat the original Half-Life 2 but it’s a superb game. Only if the game lasted longer it would have been the best game ever for me. Storyline is as engaging as the other preceding sequels but there is more improvement over the last episode (ep-1). Graphics are enhanced but will require more resources than original half-life 2. If you want to play the best game of the year, well, here it is. It kicks halo-3’s butt... we are all waiting for episode-3, valve!
