REVIEW: Half-Life 2: Episode One

June 2, 2006

Finished HL2: Ep1 a couple days ago. Awesome, awesome, awesome. I think it is better than HL2 to be honest. It was pretty much non-stop action from start to finish, and it was one of those games where I knew I wanted to take a break and maybe get something to eat, but I just HAD to keep on playing because I wanted to see what was next. It is very rare for games to have that effect on me nowadays.

My only real gripe that I had with the game is the way the flashlight and the oxygen when you are in the water share the same "power source" so when you add that with the new pitch black levels, things can be a pain in the ass pretty damn quickly.

Other than that, not all to much to say other than it was money well spent, and I can't wait for the next one.
