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.
