I just love Half-life 2! I am almost finished now, looking forward to starting the Orange Box.
Any other Half-life 2 fans? It's my favorite game in this genre. Beats any Halo game, hands down!

I bought Half-Life 2 for the PC and played it through Cedega in Linux even though my box wasn't up to the Windows specs. Let's just call the framerates "puke inducing." I picked up Orange Box for my PS3 for my birthday. I played through Half-Life 2 again, Episode 1, and Portal. Portal is a blast--that's where the quote in my sig comes from. I began Episode 2, but haven't finished it yet.

Robert I just finished Episode 2. Great game. I enjoy playing Counter-Strike: Source and Team Fortress 2 nightly for an hour or two to vent.

Can you get Half Life for Windows XP? Halo 2 doesn't work on XP unless you download some crazy patch for it somewhere and I want a new game.

You gotta get Half-life and Half-life 2! Some of the best games I've ever played. The storytelling aspect is awesome. It's interesting to play these games - they are huge worlds and so much cool stuff to do. These games will do a good job of keeping you away from your guitars and amps....

I haven't read up on Half Life...only the second one. The second one looks like a good one to start with. I don't have a problem breaking into a story like that and then going back to revisit the beginning. Kinda like Star Wars.

Yeah, Half-life2 is fine to start with. It looks better than the 1st one of course. I am getting the new ones that come with Orange Box. Awesome stuff dude!

I was playing Half Life 2 for a bit, until I got stuck on it. It wasn't really far into the game and I hit a point where I could get no further without backtracking. Mind you, that seems to happen frequently in the game and I just need to find where to go next, but I just couldn't in this one spot. So, being a man of a million games that still need to be played, I stopped. I intend to pick it back up some day, but not until I finish the original Half Life.
The Orange Box is a great deal, though, and (as mentioned) Portal is a great game. I also really enjoy Team Fortress 2. I've played other titles with Capture the Flag and Attack and Defend type multiplayer games, but each character is so different and specialized in Team Fortress 2 that it really makes the game interesting and gives it a ton of character.

I'm not a console user, and have played the entire Half-Life collection to death.
Got HL1 when it was released ... (must be 10 years ago) ... it still remains my No.2 all-time favourite game, just below HL2 on the list.:

I killed 3 hours playing Crysis last night. That game is just amazing. I'm looking forward to Farcry 2 being released this fall. Love realistic FPS games!
Addicted to solder....
The original Far Cry was one of my favorite FPS games, and was visually just stunning. I also found it to be one of the hardest games I every played. The last couple of levels were just brutal. I almost quit at one point--something that has NEVER happened to me in a PC game before. (I refuse to use cheats.)
An FPS that I really enjoyed was Painkiller. Really unusual levels & weapons (I loved pinning zombies to walls with the stake gun!), and great secrets and bonuses to be found. And the "tarot card" feature was quite unique, allowing you to modify your player's abilities.
For humor content in an FPS, the Serious Sam games were great, particularly the first two. "It's all fun & games until somebody loses an eye!" LOL!!

Ok wait a second. The Orange Box is a compilation of 5 Half Life games? Is this the one to get instead?
Has anyone played any of the F.E.A.R. games?

I can't say that I've given up on a flanger cause I've never liked the effect either. I also can't say the same about Tremolo. I hate them both equally. - Tone2TheBone 2009
