| Got HL2 on day of release and it blew me away. Alway been a HL fan - had the original and all the expansions. Finished HL2 quite quickly though and played Episode 1 and got a bit fed up. Went back recently and it is amazing how far graphics have come since then but while I think it has dated graphically it is still a great game.  |

| I've been through HL2, HL2 episode 1, and am into episode 2 now Personally although the graphics are a bit old school, I love the art stlye which is pretty realistic in my opinion, contrasting with something like bioshock which I find slightly too 'cartoony' in nature. As per my post I've been playing this with the Rebel FM gameclub and they said apparently that on xbox (360 I presume), they updated the charater models in HL2 & ep 1, with the updated models from ep2, but haven't done this on PC!! I think you also get achievements in the first two games on xbox (but not on PC)  |

| I completed HL2 (from the orange box) but lent the game out and it came back damaged. Is it worth picking up another copy just to play the other episodes? |

| I would say so mate. Call me a fanboy but I think it's worth playing through the games in this order to fully appreciate the storyline: half life 1, half life 2, half life 2 episode 1, Portal, Half life 2 episode 2 I would say that that the storyline is somewhat akin to the Matrix in that's there are typically more questions raised than there are answers provided |

I've also played portal i forgot to mention that. I'll definately keep an eye out for a cheap copy then. |
