I just finished it. It is the greatest video game in history. Ok, within its genre. Inventive, involving, endlessly cool. I liked it better than the original, but most reviewers didn’t.

As a guide to my tastes: I’m a big fan of both No One Lives Forever games, loved the original Doom but found Doom III just a tad tedious (load, shoot, repeat), loved every minute of Serious Sam, was surprisingly attached to Pain Killer, and have never made it all the way through a Myst game.

There’s a guide to Half Life 2’s plot and universe here. [Technorati tags: HalfLife2 videogames]
