http://ep1.half-life2.com/ Not got steam installed, so I have missed the prompts for this game, just saw it advertised on play. Anyone got it yet, is it worth £15? |

Its recived excellent reviews but its major criticism is length, around 4-6 hours, which for £15 seems a tad pricey, but apparently the revamped faical engine and Ai interaction makes it worthwhile. Oh and HDR has been properly implemented now. Probbaly a good extra hour or two if you play with the included commentary ala the lost coast. Im going to wait another week or so, see if its cheaper to buy via steam/if there are any price reductions or offers and get a few more reviews. |

Just bagged a copy off the newsgroups. I think my pc wont give it the treatment it deserves. Im still using an agp card, and fast ones are expensive and hard to come by. Maybe a new pc is in order in a few months, but not for this game, yet... |

Only played the game a little and enjoying it so far. From playing with the commentary option, it does look like they've invested in some updated technology that will make future episodic content easier to develop, so I would expect Ep2 to be heavier on content. - good fun so far, although I've only reached the bouncing-mines-to-open-walkways bit
