Graphically we all know what to expect from Half-Life. It was beyond it's time then and it does a great job of doing it now. The sound and atmosphere in the game is clearly there and so are the throwbacks to what made Half-Life 1 great.

The only downside is despite the new engine and story, the game plays it rather safe by making it very similiar to it's predecessor. This downside though also keeps Half-Life to it's roots of what makes it so great so it's really a double edged sword that still leaves one hell of an impact on you.

With it's key points on modding, great story and gameplay and overall fun experience, Half-Life 2 is a game that'll make you keep coming back.
