    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 2Half 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 Expand

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
