10/10
F*ck Halo, this is Half-Life 2!
28 December 2009
This is an amazing experience like I have never felt before. A PC game lover, like myself, has to play the sequel to the the most important game of all time and it's mandatory that they give Half-Life 2 ten stars. It's excellent in every perspective and you will have a grand time playing a solid, action, scary, and yet a wonderful game which will have you playing for hours without end. It beats its predecessor in everything from the story, to the enemies, and the characters and so on. I am a professional gamer and I know what good games are and Half-Life 2 is one of those masterpieces which will have dozens of new generations playing it. If Half-Life 2 becomes rare to buy, people will be paying millions to buy one of the last copies and that just shows how important Half-Life 2 is. The mute protagonist (Don't ask me) Gordon Freeman has a personality and tactics like no other video game character and he is one of the reasons why this game shines from those other crappy games e.g. Halo. He might be nerdy looking with an unusual beard that shows video game characters are not what you expect in real life. The graphics are pretty impressive however it's graphics could not match with Mass Effect 2's but that's because new graphic technologies are being invented every day. Any Half-Life 2 haters probably complain about one single thing and it annoys them so they give it six stars. Don't read their negative reviews because scientists have confirmed that negative stuff ruins your brain 100%.

"Rise and shine, Mr. Freeman.". You wake up on a train headed for City 17, hoping to be free from the Black Mesa disaster but City 17 is corrupted and Combine troops are in every corner waiting for one little mistake. You meet Alyx and her father Eli Vance and a familiar face also pops out, Dr. Kleiner. Pretty soon you are on the run from the combine hoping to free city 17 from the clutches of it's master, Dr. Breen, and everything depends on you. What you do not realize is that a long and hard task awaits you that has zombies, combine, Ant lions, and many many more enemies.

The enemies are very smart in the game, mostly the combine because they are humans. The classic head crabs along with the fast zombies are probably the best video game enemies that you have to face. Even though what the Aliens lack in intelligence they make up in damage. The fast zombies charge at you an claw, scratch, and tear you to bits without any intelligence. Sometimes when you are in dark places, especially the night, a head crab or fast zombie will pop out of nowhere giving you a heart attack and when you kill them , you feel something soft in your pants! The guns are amazing and without them the game is pointless. You have tons of alien and combine weapons which you will use to tear through enemies in order to reach your goal. The pulse-rifle can cause the most damage in the game apart from the rocket launcher and it's quite easy to defeat an opponent with it. The weapon which I have been waiting to get hold of the most is the Gravity Gun. The Gravity Gun is fantastic and a major help in the game as you try to defeat enemies with it by deflecting bombs back, and piercing them with something sharp. The Gravity Gun is awesome at the very end of the game. Half-Life 2 is the only masterpiece of a game ever made. ****/****
