Anyway, it scored a 9.5 in IGN's review http://pc.ign.com/articles/825/825992p1.html

Kind of off considering its five games in one package, the individual reviews are different.

Episode 2 got 9.4
Portal got 8.2
And TF2 got 8.9, I was expecting higher though... for some reason. Anyway, hope its decent, im getting rid of Oblivion, STALKER and FEAR for it.

This shouldn't need to be mentioned, but any spoilers on EP2 will result in death.

Also as a disclaimer to the authorities: if anybody from this forum happens to die after having spoiled EP2, it was frogopus, not me.

Currently debating whether to go to my last class or not..

Portal was more in-depth than I thought it would be, and its slightly longer than I expected too. Done all the advanced levels but haven't started on the challenges yet.
EP2 was... epic. So my plan for tomorrow is to beat it on hard.

They were definitely worth turning my whole sleep routine on its head. :D

I will agree, nothing beats the half life series single player....but Halo3's MP will live on for evar! (3 or so yrs from now)

Well I have finished it, I think it was a 6-8 hour game and i think i have finsihed it in 5 to 6 hours. It felt short but story line is amazing. Perfect job giving the game 9.8/10 because there were some little glitches and stuff.

I have never been a huge fan of the half life series, hl2 was alright story for single player, ep1 i thought was lackluster, but ep2 was excellent even though some twat ruined the ending for me it was still a great game.

I've probably taken longer cause I want the gamer points LOL (360)...they are rediculous for the orange box....squish every grub (333)....i got freaken 331...then in ep1 &quot;go through the game firing exactly one bullet&quot;.....I don't think I'm EVER going to get golds on every challenge on PORTAL....(insert Jim mora clip
here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qwq7BYOnDrM&mode=related&search=))
it's like &quot;Gold!? GOLD MEDALS!? you kiddin me? GOLD?! I just hope I can get all silver...


I almost got all bronzes...but I probably have 5 golds total and 4 or 5 silvers.
