Ah, Half-Life: the only game universe that nobody ever seems to have a bad word for. And it's no surprise, with better voice acting, a better plot, better graphics and game engine, and better gameplay than any other first-person shooter in the history of the world.

I don't like this whole "episodic gaming" trend that's hitting PCs everywhere thanks to our good friends at Valve, the creators of Half-Life . While I understand their justifications for releasing segments of a single game in four-hour blocks over the span of a couple of years instead of one whole...

Half-Life 2 Aftermath is the first of a series of episodic expansions for the popular and acclaimed Half-Life series. This episode takes place right after the events in HL2, and you and Alyx will flee from City 17, fighting against creatures who were previous blocked from entertaining the city The...

Half-Life 2 Episode One is the first in a trilogy of episodes for Half-Life 2. These all follow the same storyline. So, hungry for more after Half-Life 2? Play this! Story (This may contain spoilers for those still playing Half-Life 2) The reactor of The Citadel has just exploded, leaving you and...

Great Half - Life gameplay and puzzles; good graphics and excellent sound; strong characters

Short length

I actually enjoyed this PC game more than the original full version Half Life 2. Pros: 1.) Lots of action with Gordon and Alyx trying to get out of City 17. 2.) Great graphic and sound if you have the system to run them properly. 3.) The last 1/2 of the game is an example of FPS gaming at its best.

It goes without saying that Half-Life 2 is quite possibly the best single-player FPS experience ever crafted for the PC. Four years in the making, ground-breaking physics, stunning visuals, non-stop action and a stellar story, to boot all coalesced to create one of the most talked about games in...

Playing Half-Life 2 again; The short game time lends itself to more frenzied play; Great on-the-go narrative; No system updates required; Best five hours on the PC I've spent in ages

Short; Have to wait six months for the next installment; Alyx can sometimes be the cause of your death

good fps game , fun , worth the price ! good graphiics and lots of replay value , best on steam . the death match part is really fast paced and hard , but great once your use to it~!

Half-Life fans, the long wait is over. After almost 18 months of anticipation for another sequel, the Valve software team lashes out a uniquely titled game. Jumping onto the Episode wagon, this game is supposed to be the first half of the next three parts that is also the second half of the part two...

Half-Life 2: Episode One is the first in a new trilogy of episodes that are scheduled to be released over the course of the next year. The first episode fills in a lot of the story gaps that you may have found with Half-Life 2 and at the same time opens up a whole new world of possibilities.

If you had any doubts about the merit of episodic content, Half-Life 2: Episode One should convince you otherwise.
