Man o Man I just finished Half Life 2, and what a great gaming experience! I didn't encounter any serious frame rate problems that GS mentioned. So if you are a ps3 owner please dont be afraid to pick this up. Ill let you know how episodes one and two are technical wise as well. And Ive played half way through portal and it's great! Ill have to go to gamewinners.com, some of the puzzels are getting hard!

Oh and about Half life 2, there are frequent load times, but they won't bother you in later levels when the action picks up.
