Half-Life 2 Episode 2

[Count Duckula]

Any good? I've recently reinstalled Half-Life 2 since I never actually finished it before, and I'm now on the last level.

When I've finished it, I'm probably going to download Episode 1 off Steam since it's only a fiver and I heard good things about it.

However, apparently it's not very long so within a couple of days I'll probably be looking at Episode 2, but, since it's new, I havn't really heard too much about it. Anyone here played it? I tend not to trust reviews when it comes to Half-Life related merchandise, because, as with Halo and Call of Duty too, whilst they are excellent franchises they can do absolutely no wrong to gaming magazines.

Waiting for my new PC before I'll play it, but Episode 1 is well worth a fiver.

Episode 2 looks like it's going to be ace though, from the video's I've seen

Just buy The Orange Box. Ep2 is better than Ep1, from what I remember. Portal is just as good.
Oh and check out metacritic for reviews; you get a good mix of opinions there.

Episode 2 > Episode 1 and also Portal is genius.

Great Episode, IMO.

The last quest is quite difficult where You have to stop invasion on White Forrest.

Lots of great action and intresting storyline.
