I love this game and keep playing it over and over. Super graphics and game play; I enjoyed the boat and buggy once I got used to driving them!
This is a terrific sequel to the classic HL.
Can't wait for the next HL.

If you are looking for info on the game itself, the pros and cons, then read Growmans full review, a few reviews down, which was posted on the same day as the release of HL2. Anyway that review says it all, and like others have noted, says it well. So read that for information.
Not onto installing and some points.
1. The box says you need internet.
2. Steam is used for authentication. It is free on-line. Sometimes it is buggy but it prevented this game from being STOLEN before its release. Everything else has been out before its official release date.
3. Yes sometimes Steam spikes and we must wait a few more hours before authentication.
4. This only happens with the release of a new game.
5. It works for nearly everyone except a few who got caught because of their location/internet connection.
The Best Game around

i preordered this game before it was released and picked it up the day it came out in stores. thus began the biggest waste of 60 bucks i've ever had
the game was amazing, spectacular graphics, intense action, and clever puzzles. however it would lock my system up every 10 minutes or so.
i talked to tech support for my system and through steam and no one could fix my problem. my computer exceeds the minimum requirements in all aspects.
so nearly a year after its release, i will never know the end of the game, nor do i care any more. valve rushed out an unfinished product and could not provide the entertainment value promised from such a high expectation title. so if your system can play it, congrats, i'm sure the game is amazing. i'll just never know.
Excellent

I heard this game was better than Halo 2, and it is. The single player is amazing.
It comes with Steam, and counter strike :source.
I personally think Halo 2 has a better online experience than Counter Strike Source, but Source is great as well.
If you like videogames, this is a definate must buy.
A Total Blast!!

this game is exactly the type of game i like, if you liked resident evil and/or duke nukem this is the game for you. Exciting realism with a hint of Ficticial alien holocost. This game has taken place after the first and obyveously, quite a few years later. The world has addapted to the invastion of the alien spacies from Xen and everyone knows who did it. The story line is one of the exciting points with the fact that you don't know too much or what has happened over the years. From Driving High speed Buggys over a vast Costal landscape to walking the suspension of a bridge to hunting your way through a overrun zombie town of Ravenholm(very scary!!). I give the best wishes to all who play this game.
