While kupocake has a good point, I think you should play it. Half-Life 2 is a vastly superior game, in my mind anyway, but Half-Life is still a lot of fun. Ultimately, the events of first lead to the second, so story wise, it helps.

Both had too many damn ant lions, but I'd have to say HL2 clearly wins this one. It has more of everything, how could it be worse? For me, Ep2 doesn't really start clicking until you get past the ant lions, which is a significant portion of the game. Also, I have to say I think Ep1 is...

Yeah, who needs logic? Personally, I would have no problem if they wrote in the "Magnussen Button" which just killed all the Combine when it was pressed. With could only be done with the Gravity Gun, of course.

Watch "The Mist" and pretend they are right outside Black Mesa.

:cheers: Nice post! I certainly agree. I had the same thoughts recently, while playing Doom 3. Yeah, I'm a little late to the party. What I read from people who played the game had a degree of ambivilance, so I wasn't expecting the experience I got when I played it. And that's the best way to...

Nova Prospekt, before you see a whole lot of action. For me, sometimes the scariest parts of games are when there are no enemies around. NP was so effective because it was totally desolate. Then after a while you run into Combine and have all those annoying ant lions raping your ears with...

Humanity, once unified against the alien threat, will be fractured and conflicted once again! We will learn that in the end, our greatest enemy is...ourselves! That's the standard sci-fi scenario, anyway.

What are you talking about? It was still on the front page.

It first appeared in a Rolling Stones song, in 1967.

I will say the ant lions hurt Nova Prospekt a bit. It would be more fun without them.

No kidding, that was out of the blue. Literally. The little turds seemingly fell out of the sky.

Nova Prospekt does better with the creepy atmosphere. Walking into that place the first time, that's just brilliant. You can tell, in Nova Prospekt, people suffered. I love that. After a while the action hurts the aura of creepy desolation though. Ravenholm was good also, but more in the...

In Follow Freeman, when you have to make it through the sludge under the collapsed highway, they can get you pretty good.

And everyone will have a good laugh, and then a real one will kill somone, and it won't be so funny.

I just want to man a machine gun on a fast moving Humm-Vee.
