    HL2 Is it worth the price?

    simple question realy, is HL2 worth the money? Over here it sells for $50 US... thats around 15 dollars less then I make at work a day! I am willing to pay 30 but 50? What do yous think?

    Heres what I think...

    I just got done playing CS source... If the graphics in HL2 are going to look like this then I just wasted 50 bucks!
