Half-Life 2

I know I'm way behind the times here, but I just finished one of the best games ever created, Half-Life 2. I only played a little of the first one a few years ago; I got frustrated at one point and gave up. Its successor, however, was much too engrossing to cast aside. I won't go into much detail as this game has been analyzed to hell already, I'm pretty sure. Suffice to say that almost everything about it was completely awesome.

I just went through the Lost Coast level too, which was quite cool. The developer commentary was interesting, and I even understood most of the stuff about HDR and other lighting effects, as I've taken classes for that kind of stuff.

Next it's on to Episodes 1 and 2, which I'm sure will be quite a treat indeed.
