I\’ve been playing Half-Life 2 the last few days. Oh man, it\’s so good. It was totally worth the wait. I haven\’t had this much fun with a game in a long time. Valve has really mastered the art of level design; it really feels like you\’re walking through a European city, or being chased through canals. The physics engine is incredible too, when you throw a box it actually flips and bounces like you would expect. Everything is just very well done. I\’m also surprised that it runs pretty smooth on my old Pentium 4 1.5 ghz, I thought I\’d need to upgrade. Bravo, Valve.
