What made Half-Life such a remarkable game was the intensely focused way it told the story.

Aren't Episode 1 and soon to be Episode 2 sequels? I consider them to be anyway.

I would have to agree with you. HL2 is an amazing game. It has some of the most amazing graphics I've ever seen in a video game and great gameplay and story to go along with it. Halflife 2 is not only one of the most fun and successful shooters of all time, it is one of the most fun and successful games of any genre.

Its Half-Life not Half-Life 2.

HL2 > HL1 a million times over.

 

[Relyt123]

Hmm, so it is. Well, along with Ridge's comment and the fact that it's in the HL2 forum section, it threw me off.
