That's pretty nifty. Too bad it never got used.

Hmm... anyone know if the counter-suit is going to be handled by the same judge? My money is that if he awarded Valve the CyberCafe distribution rights of the original game, he'd give them ownership of the franchise by ruling that the retail distribution of Half-Life and Half-Life 2 was an...

Don't assume that the G-Man is so direct. It may be that offering Gordon to the resistance was part of the plans of a party seperate from the known players.

Question: Does anyone remember the PS2 Half-Life game? That one had you playing as two female scientists... I thought that one had a dude that looked like Breen in it or something.

Man the G-Man is creepy. ARGH WANT HALF-LIFE 3!!!

Hey Evil, how did you find out about the Striders and the Gunships? edit: That is, in the Citadel, we saw that the dudes with no hands and feet were welding them while they were docked on the walls, so I assumed that they were just machines of the Combine. Incidentally, were those...

I think playable Alyx as an expansion might be okay... maybe... I mean we got to play as Barney Calhoun in Blue Shift so it's not unprecidented.

Air boat got a little long in the teeth. I'm not minding the Buggy because there's a lot of parts where you have to get out and do some stuff.

Only the soundtrack? I dunno, the snippets I listened to in HL2 were pretty damned good. I think they're really going for two different things. In the first Halo, the soundtrack was very ethereal and atmospheric. With Halo 2, they're going for more of a themic soundtrack, more like a...

I had some sound stutters and video artifacting when I first started the game. Then, I had a BSOD. I was like "Ohhhhh ****.. oh **** oh ****" I rebooted, tried again... and everything worked flawlessly (Well, aside from the long load times). I reason that there must have been some RAM...

They're really not comparable. Halo 2 is an entirely different type of First Person Shooter than Half Life 2. HL2 is a more cerebral shooter with puzzles that require you to stop the running and gunning from time to time and apply some problem solving skills. H2 is a tight and fast...

Integers are too primitve a measurement scale for a game such as this. I give Half-Life 2 37 klendors.

Too long, in my opinion. There are a couple of parts where the load times really kill the adrenaline rush. Like, in the beginning, running from the combine, you're running for a good minute, and then loaaaaadiiiiiiiiing.

Better than Pong? :) It very well may be the best one ever. << >> << I'm kinda partial to Grim Fandango though

I saw him for the first time on one of the canal locks. The one right after you beat DA CHOPPA.
