When a game is done right.

User Rating: 10 | Half-Life 2 PC
When a game is done right, it is easily recognizable. Now let me preface this with the statement that I had the trouble with the authentication server not letting me create a steam account and the 4-5 hrs that I’ve been playing have been plagued with the stuttering sound lockup issue, but through all that I have realized how great this game is, if only for the fact that I am still playing it and pretty much not caring if it stutters or locks up. Watching and playing this game is just fun. I can without a doubt say that this is the best game I have ever played on any system. The Game play is tight, from the first tossed soda can to the wooden pallets used to block combine soldiers from getting up a set of stairs. The Graphics are awesome and fit perfectly with the setting, having been beautifully integrated with the feel, story. Sound, for me this is one of the most important aspects of a game, and with this I was very happy. The Weapons sound powerful the enemies and ambience all respond as my ears would like. Value: Well since I am only about an Hour into the game and I've played it for about 4 hrs I am going to have to say Massive Value. And I just love this game and so goes my TILT. To sum up, purchase this game, then turn around and purchase a copy for a loved one, The will appreciate your caring when the whack their first naughty Head Crab.
