Nah yo. this is not a shooter. It's a First Person Platformer Puzzle game with shooting elements. The halfassed story doesn't help either.

This game is such a disappointment. It could have been awesome, but instead, it just falls short because the devs hiccupped. I guess a game about nerds has to have mostly nerd puzzle solving gameplay.

"Can you find a way to open this door, Gordon."

I wanna say, "Fock you, you have an alien with the strength of 12 human men. Tell his ass to open it wench!" :lol:

It's cool at first, but after about the 70th problem you have to solve, it gets REALLY old.

I'm starting to wonder if Episode 3 will ever come out thanks to that horrible cliffhanger ending.

It's also funny to me that it took the devs so long to create a game that was so lacking in content. I guess maybe their team is small..

overall, it was a decent game, but nowhere near as good as the hype that surrounds it.

Did you watch the credits? Shortest credits ever. Only like 20 dudes worked on the games. :lol:

I still haven't beaten HL2. Only thing I did beat on The Orange Box was Portal, which was a blast. Maybe I should replay that...

As far as Team Fortress 2 goes, I played it once. Never got into it, but I never gave it a shot either.

Portal was alotta fun. Short and Sweet. Some of the platforming was annoying, but at least manageable. Half Life 2 had some great qualities. None of them really got fleshed out and the core gameplay got annoying about 3/4 of the way thru the main game.

I wish it had been more fighting and less, "find out where this plug goes" type crap. The game actually reminded me of MYST with guns. Not my cup of tea at all.
