Half-Life 2: Episode Pack

Both of the games are phenomenal. Separate, they are great games, but when they were put together, gosh, it was like heaven on earth. Tons of hours of playing and loving both of these games. Definitely 10 out of 10. _ ( I ____I (____) (_____) I (_____) I (____)__/ it. (people who like taking credit from others, don't copy this please.) DANG IT DIDNT WORK

Half Life 2 has obtained legendary status as one of the most flawless modern games BUT the question does need to be asked: is Half Life 2 over-rated? My answer is Yes as all things are flawed (even Half Life 2), that's not saying the game is not one of the best the industry has provided in recent times, it is however just an interactive game with a lot of copied elements of other science fiction, it's not as original as many claim. Half Life 2 has awesome graphics, innovative physics, game play, fabulously designed levels and game moments but my point is that it shows how lacking and unoriginal the rest of the industry is - that many would claim Half Life 2 to be better than it actually is. If Half Life 2 is the best there is in single player gaming - then video games truely are lacking... HL2 is still a real achievement and Valve has something to be proud of.â

I enjoyed both episodes of Half Life 2 a whole lot but, as most people will tell you, Episode 2 might be the peak of Half Life 2 as a whole, even surpassing the base game. The reason I enjoyed both of these expansions so much is because of how much time you spend with Alyx. Alyx is one of my favorite characters in video games and the original Half Life 2 didn't really give you too much time with her, or any other major characters for that matter. I think the writing of the episodes is better and neither episodes have chapters that go on for far too long like the base game does. These are amongst some of the best expansion packs of all time, Episode 2 especially. I'd give episode one a 7 and episode two a 9 so for each expansion together, they get an 8. I beat these games in December of 201
