HL2 Worth The Play? - Page 2

post #11 of 32
HL1 and HL2 were incredibly epic. So worth the time spent, it's not even funny.

I would definitely start with HL1 though... as the story lead in is so clutch.

All of the publications, gaming sites, etc. that consistently put the game as one of the best ever made are wrong. It's the internet's biggest lie. tongue.gif

The half life games as a whole are some of the best I've played in a long time. The first one isn't essential to the story, you'll pick it up well enough, but I still recommend playing it. If you don't maybe read a synopsis or something. I highly recommend them thumb.gif

If you have HL2 and do not play it, you are doing yourself a serious injustice as a gamer lol

I have all of the HL series games along with the DLC and I would buy them again in a heartbeat. They are seriously epic games and like many have said they are worth every penny.

Don't be surprised if you hear someone knocking on your door and when you open it you get punched in nut sack.
