Half Life games are quite possibly amongst the most revered PC titles of the
recent years. And how could they not be? Both the original and its sequel
pushed forward the boundaries of FPS story-telling, making players
experience the story first hand, not through directed cinematics. That was
not all they did however! With great AI, graphics engines that were amongst
the prettiest of the generation and some of the most memorable scenes in
gaming the two defined what PC gaming was all about. As if all of this
wasn't enough, Valve decided to push the boundaries in content delivery as
well, bringing forward Steam and inevitably episodic games. HL2 Episode 1
was not amongst the longest games of last year, but it was without doubt one
of the best shooters we had the pleasure of playing. Valve are also well
known for learning from their mistakes, so let's see what Episode 2 has in
store for us!
