Half-Life 2: Episode One

Time: Fri Jul 14 21:44:56 AUSEST 2006

Status: Done.

Pros: The gameplay felt like the original Half-Life once again. Steam looking good at great gfx speeds even on my good old(ish) GeForce 6600 GT. (Thanks to HDRR)

Cons: Way too short & Not enough Gman.

-----

Let's hope we don't see too many of these short episodes. Valve needs to make a proper length release. Finally they have turned their focus away from improving Source gfx engine back to making good gaming levels. Initial Half-Life 2's gameplay was not up to their previous gaming standard, it lacked replay quality.

HL2:E1 comes with the original Half-Life Deathmatch ported to Source. I must say it's quite fun to hop on for a quick bash.

Extra, extra!: "Steam still sucks!"
