| | | | 1998: Half-Life sends a shock through the game industry with its combination of pounding action and continuous, immersive storytelling. Valve's debut title wins more than 50 game-of-the-year awards on its way to being named "Best PC Game Ever" by PC Gamer, and launches a franchise with more than eight million retail units sold worldwide.
Now: Half-Life 2.
By taking the suspense, challenge and visceral charge of the original, and adding startling new realism and responsiveness, Half-Life 2 opens the door to a world where the player's presence affects everything around him, from the physical environment to the behaviors -- even the emotions -- of both friends and enemies.
The player again picks up the crowbar of research scientist Gordon Freeman, who finds himself on an alien-infested Earth being picked to the bone, its resources depleted, its populace dwindling. Freeman is thrust into the unenviable role of rescuing the world from the wrong he unleashed back at Black Mesa. And a lot of people -- people he cares about -- are counting on him.

5 of 5 WOW Wednesday, December 15, 2004
A Gamer from MI
HL2 is better than Doom3, but dont get me wrong Doom is probably one of the best games ever. HL2 is the best game ever followed by Doom3 then maybe the original Deus Ex (not Invisible War, that sucks). Everyone in the world must buy this game or they cannot be considered a pc gamer. Your system must be the best ever. Was this review helpful?

5 of 5 Absolutely AMAZING!!! Wednesday, December 08, 2004
Kai Alpha from JC, NJ
This is probably the greatest game designed ever!!! The characters are full-blown realistic, the maps are extremely detailed, there is nearly a complete immersion with the environment (you got to see it for yourself), and the best thing is that there is a great storyline. But there is a WARNING!!! - Unless you have the best computer, or close to it, with a lot of speed, memory, power, sound, and graphics you cannot appreciate the game as well as anyone else.
