Half-Life® 2

HL2 Half-Life® 2 is a sequel to the game Half Life.In 1998 Valve Software released Half-Life, a groundbreaking experience that combined heart-pounding action with continuous, immersive storytelling. Valve's debut title won more than 50 game-of-the-year awards on its way to being named 'Best PC Game Ever' by PC Gamer. Now estimated to be released in October 2005 on XBOX. Gordon Freeman is a MIT Graduated who got entangled into the mess at the lambada complex and trying to survive and helped fellow survivors, proved to be the best man for the job in the first episode. He is respected and now the people believe in him.HL2 is way more action packed and new weapons are like Bugbait and Gravity Gun are nothing less than a godly experience. Bugbait itself cannot cause damage to enemy but it can be used to command numerous Antlions(alien creatures) to attack enemy. As for game play ,superb AI of creatures and humans .But the most astonishing is the game physics. They have used state of the art Havock Physics engine. Almost all objects in the scene can be used to attack or defend and thats where the gravity gun comes in as a vamped up physical feature. Cool sound effects and music. On the cons side the game some parts of the game may feel like just following a puppet show due to long dialog sequences and slightly less intensity in battles due to presence of a lot of helpful company.
