Summary: Sierra
Review: I'm sick and tired of people complaining about how many times Sierra has pushed back the date for HL2. Considering most of the games they don't spend time on, we should be begging them to make sure that HL2 doesn't end up like the Matrix, an awesome start with the worst possible ending imaginable. Let them take their time and we can all see a game with incredible graphics, a plot that doesn't make George Lucas cringe, and gameplay that will make HL seem like an 8-bit Nintendo game compared.

Summary: HURRY UP SIERRA!
Review: I'm getting tired of the promises. Sierra has pushed back the date SOOOOO many times that it is getting rediculous. A while ago I was really looking forward to this game, but now all I feel is irritation with Sierra... MY GOD MAN, GET YOUR STUFF TOGETHER AND RELEASE THE GAME ALREADY!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It hasn't been released but... this is one to look foward to
Review: All right we all know that it hasn't been released; but I do think it's worth looking up on the web to see the videos. It looks truly stunning and breathe taking. Allot of people dropped the original Hl as soon as they got it. Because when it first came out it was just a bunch of death match, bunny hopping, and frustrating game. Since then the game has evolved and gotten better. The game became one of the best games you can possibly play; and it kept on growing. Eventually it outgrew it self and thus became HL2. HL2 has an advanced physics system that allows things never thought possible. Many people have said there is plenty of game's that are better then HL2; halo being on the main one off that list. I have seen several relations to halo. Halo and HL are nothing alike I have played both they are just different from each other, "You cant compare apples and oranges." But as good as a physics system Halo has it is no were near the capacity of HL2, a fully active gaming environment. If you shoot a stick in halo will that stick break apart with relations to were the bullet hit? The answer is simply no. A world-renowned psychologist makes the AI. He also made an infinite number of expressions to express all feelings in the game. But its stupid to make judgments without playing the game but in all and all this one is certainly one to look forward to.

Summary: HALF LIFE 2 is amazing
Review: from garphics to physics, halflife 2 has improved a lot. Not improve, but more like advanced to the next era. Being able to interact pretty much anything in the 3D envirment give players unlimited choices as to how to blow up a mutant. No games out there can compare its graphics with HL2, I have played games like HALO (PC) raven shield, and I have to say that HL2 is by far the best. And game play is not like the old HL or any other first person shooter; players have to use their head, none of that shooting from point A to point B crap. Lots of possibilites! And lets not forget the multiplayer function! THIS IS A MUST~!!!!!!! go download winamp5 if u havent already done so and check out an Internet TV channel title "Half Life 2 TV" and see for yourself!!!

Summary: I'll believe it when I see it.
Review: The first Half-Life was a so-so crate jumping sort of experience. I'm not bashing the game yet. Don't get me wrong, it's just that I have heard all these tired claims before; flashy graphics, A.I. that can score a 1600 onthe S.A.T.'s, and other gimmicky blah blah blahs. It's hard to believe this could deliver more than Halo (or the soon to be Halo 2) in the way of A.I., physics, or gameplay. Until Half-Lifes combat evolves it just won't shine that bright.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THE GREATEST GAME EVER!
Review: By the looks of HL-2 at the E3 Expo,i think HL-2 will be a game everyone wants to own.The graphics is so good and the best part is the physics engine.It is really awesome.Those people who are fans of halflife should get the video which was shown in E3.As for the hardcore shooting gamers out there,this is one game u surely dont want to miss.
Although i havent played it,i would give it 7 stars (out of five)!Shame on u if u havent ordered it already!

Summary: It will be sweet
Review: Anyone not wanting to get this game should probably get a CAT scan. It is is one of the most anticipated sequels in gaming history, including UT2K4 and Doom 3. IF you've followed the development process, you know what I'm talking about. The gameplay videos are incredible. You can find them at gamespot.com, and they show a level of environment interactivity that I couldn't believe. Besides being Half-Life the way the enemies react and the open-ended feel the videos show is astounded.

For a FPS it promises super-immersive gaming. When you can move furniture to block doors and knock over train cars to kill zombies it's hard to imagine how it can get better. Another new twist is what appears to be a telekenisis gun to throw object at enemies! I've seen the beta also, and the environment effects are superb, water looks great, and the design is great. This game will be worth every penny.

Summary: Counter Strike 2 = Fantastic!
Review: Having worked for Valve and recently Sierra I have played HL 2 (or as its codenamed 'half life two') on several occassions. I programmed several parts of the game and recently i have done games testing with the beta and also the deltas. HL2 is very good but the best thing is counter strike 2: Miami Mission. The whole mod is incredible with such things as parasailing, paragliding and also paras, and as with the orignal cs the para is the best gun. Other new features include the ability to shout commands and hold your breathe, this is particuluarly usefull if a team mate makes a 'special' radio call. Also we have cut down on the models so you only use the german SS Model or the Iraqi OS 4M4 model, the OS model is parcularly scary, he has a beard, which flutters in real time. As for guns we have removed the n00by carbine in favour of my favourite gun, the luger. As i say this is work in process and me and the guys at valve dont think it will be out this side of 2006. I had better get back to testing the new vehicle the P00 ZY Wagon which looks like a warthog (humour) only with 5 wheels.

Anyway I will try and write again soon.

Summary: IT'S NOT OUT YET
Review: PEOPLE PLEASE!
Half life 2 is one of if not the most anticipated game of all time.

***BUT IT HASNT BEEN RELEASED.***

In fact, the game isn't even finished!

Most reviews I have read pertain to the ORIGINAL Half Life, which yes, is an amazing game - even to this day. But THIS is the SEQUEL, which is still in development. PLease dont confuse half life 2 with the original half life or it's expansion packs.

Unless you have seen or played a beta version or some kind of demo at a convention, then comments are just pure speculation about what the game SHOULD or WILL be like WHEN it is out... but everyone should keep in mind that people talking about how great the game is havent even played it yet (again unless they got to at some kind of convention or had access to a beta version).

Other reviewers take note: please refrain from making comments untill the game is out, unless you have had some form of exposure to it, or just want to talk about what is being promised. But be careful not to give people the impression the game is already out. If you've seen a prerelease version of the game in action, then feel free to tell us all how cool it is, but otherwise then please make it clear in your review that you are talking about expectations, not experience.

That being said the game is SUPPOSED to rock! And we have been promised a LOT. Im really hoping I wont be disapointed, and with the amount of pressure that must be on the heads of the developers, I doubt I will. But we will just have to wait and find out just how good half life 2 is. Untill then I recommend going to the half life 2 website for info, or buying the original game and it's expansion packs which are currently available very cheaply right here on amazon.com
