Wow talk about the blind fanboy who only thinks himself/herself as absolutely correct! I don't give a **** about Portal or TF2. I want to play only Episode 2. If Valve are not going to sell EP2 separately, personally for me it will be really sad indeed. No way I will pay $40 for for the stuff...
Downloading 4.5 GB data is risky, some bytes can get corrupted and you are ****ed. This happens with some people. On CD/DVD data transmission is pretty reliable.
How could Gamespot do an in-depth review when they have to go to Valve and finish the game there. With Halo 2 reviewer had the luxury of playing at his place.
In terms of gameplay they didn't innovate, I think that's what took the score down a little. Gamespot gave Super Mario Sunshine 8.0 because it didn't innovate much.
I trust in G-Spot. I have played games based on their reviews that turned out to be brilliant, had I followed the reviews from PC Gamer, I would have never touched those games e.g. Rayman 2 on PC, for me it was the best platform game, I played it after reading G-Spot review 9.3, PC Gamer 66%...
