When I first got the game I couldn't play it. And with the advancements in technology since the first game, "Half-Life 2" takes advantage of this to its fullest. Valve - as they first did with the original "Half-Life" - provides similar scenes of plotting and character dialogue, but you never leave the POV of Dr. Curiously enough "Doom 3" received more attention for blending cinema with gaming but I think "Half-Life 2" did so much better - there aren't cheesy cut-away scenes such as there are in "Doom 3" (which was still a fine game) and you actually feel like you ARE in an alternate reality. Its plot is better than 90% of action films today and it seamlessly blends realism with science-fiction. This is the game that will blow away those of us who always thought games were simplistic. There will always be the classic arcade games and the great Mario games for NES - but "Half-Life 2" takes gaming into a new dimension. For someone such as myself, who had taken a long hiatus from gaming, this was a refreshing revolution of the medium. And a lot of people he cares about are counting on him."Half-Life 2" really elevates videogames to a new art form.
Freeman is thrust into the unenviable role of rescuing the world from the wrong he unleashed back at Black Mesa. The player again picks up the crowbar of research scientist Gordon Freeman, who finds himself on an alien-infested Earth being picked to the bone, its resources depleted, its populace dwindling. The demo is available at ATI.com and requires a Steam account to install.īy taking the suspense, challenge and visceral charge of the original Half-Life, and adding startling new realism and responsiveness, Half-Life® 2 opens the door to a world where the player's presence affects everything around him, from the physical environment to the behaviors even the emotions of both friends and enemies.
Featuring some of the amazing digital actors and physical gameplay that has made Half-Life 2 the leading contender for Game of the Year 2004, the demo takes players through some of the early levels of the game and later transports them to the area of the game known as Ravenholm. A free demo of Half-Life 2 has been released.
