Review thread [NO SPOILERS]

I thought it would be best to make a thread were all the reviews can be posted.

This can be both your own and other people's (such as magazines') reviews. NO SPOILERS, PLEASE

As soon as EP2 started up, I turned all graphics to maximum. As soon as I spawned in the beginning I was simply amazed by the graphics, and the blur when you move around fast. I really liked this episode, some maps were simply AMAZING, very spectacular.
The envirement is awesome, all buildings are diffirent from eachother, everything looks realistic.

I also liked the moments (WARNING huge spoilers)

Spoiler

were Alyx gets stabbed or something by a hunter, the moment were Eli dies and the close view with the rocket.
The moment where all those ant lions come from all directions. (with the awesome background music) really gave me a kick, it was so cool.

Overall score: 10^100^1000 / 10

HL2.net review friday.

PCGAMER UK: 93%

The PCZONE review was uh...a bit of a joke. I mean, I don't mind PCZONE much even after the hilarious Far Cry review (best shooter since Half-life, apparently...I mean hell, Halo is better than Far Cry) where their credibility plunged, but the reviewer didn't really know what he was talking about. The seen it all before cynicism comment was laughable because EP2, like the game before it, has extremely varied and innovative gameplay that changes chapter after chapter...can't see where they are coming from there. All in all, poor review.

Hmm, that PCZONE magazine is probably the only only I've seen that has had some major negative critique about the game.

I was dissapointed about the fact that Alyx STILL hasn't changed her thong.

No time, no time. Must rush, kill combine.

From rockpapershotgun:

"You likely don’t notice a perfectly constructed sentence, just won full off mistakes."

sigh...unless this is supposed to be there.
