    Half-Life 2

    Having bought a copy of HL2 a long while back, but never getting round to playing it, I decided to give it a quick go before heading down to the shops to pick up a few things. I thought to myself "might as well play for 10 mins".

    10 mins my arse. I started played at 7:30 and have only just stopped.

    It's just awesome

    Just thought I'd share that with you...

    I am almost jealous that you just played it for the first time. It blew me away on release day, and I didnt have as good a rig back then...

    I know how you feel with the boat bit. A lot of sections are the same seeming to go on forever, prson I felt was just as bad. Yeah, its a great game but I did prefer F.E.A.R

    Man I need to get my hands on Episode 1, I loved HL2. I've heard Episode 1 isn't as good but I'd still like to play the trilogy and be up to date for Episode 2 (along with portals!).

    Heh, I found myself playing it properly for the first time a couple of weeks ago. I'd been spending most of my time on Counter-Strike: Source and had barely met zombie enemies let alone left City 17!

    I started at around 5 in the evening and couldn't get myself off until about the same time the next morning, it truly is a gripping game.

    I remember getting on release day and finishing it in one sitting. I couldn't bear to stop playing. What a game it is

    When I played this on release day it blew me away as said above

    An awesome game - can't believe how much I like it. Also I have to say that the fact that it comes with CSS makes it by far the best value game I've ever owned - including Doom on shareware

    I really enjoyed HL2, and played it about 3/4 of the way through - then got stuck, got bored and found CS:S.

    I have since replayed it and completed it however
