Half Life 2 has reminded me why I started playing videogames in the first place.
The weapons of half life 2 are pretty standred without being too boring. The only real exception being the gravity gun, which I absolutly loved, almost to a fault. I guess sometimes throwing barrels isn't the best way to face off against an army.
I really loved the sci fi story, and the way it is told throughout the game. The fact the Gordan Freeman never talks just makes him that much cooler. It's amazing how much people love the silent hero in the game.
I think that I will definatly be playing this game for a long while, and because I purchased the GOTY edition I will be able to have some old school fun on counter strike also.

Also I would like to mention that the ONLY glitch I ran into playing this game, is I was able to look through a wall one time.
