Half-Life 2 Review
EDITORS' CHOICE
Summary
By taking the suspense, challenge and visceral charge of the original, and adding startling new realism and responsiveness, HALF-LIFE 2 opens the door to a world where the player's presence affects everything around him, from the physical environment to the behaviors even the emotions of both friends and enemies.

You don't need my recommendation. Everyone know they have to experience this classic at least once.

Half-Life 2 is often lauded as being the better game when stacked against its predecessor. However, what I see when I look at it is massively improved gameplay, and a story that somehow raises the stakes. That said, I feel Half-Life 2 and Half-Life are both very much two sides of the same coin. Gordon Freeman's story is continued and in a satisfying fashion. The game also introduces Alyx, who proves to be an integral part of the story, rivaling the importance of Gordon Freeman. Some episodic entries after the events of Half-Life 2 help to tie a bow on the story in some ways, but I think I speak for everyone when I say I'd like to know just what the heck the G-Man wants in what will hopefully one day be Half-Life 3. 2 is a great game top to bottom and deserves to be a part of a trilogy.

Half-Life was ahead of its time and its sequel was even better. If you are one of the few that has never played it, do yourself a favor and carve out time to play through this gem.
