Great game
Valve put together a great package here. Portal is better with a mouse, but then *everything* is. Hadn't played HL2 in ages and Eps 1 & 2 are good as well. And Portal and TF2 are nothing to scoff at. Thoroughly recommend for the FPS fan. Rating:

if only the freeman would freeroam a little
i'm a mature gamer who bought a dozen videogames with an xbox to see how the technology has evolved. i played the half life and portal games on a 42" lcd screen and had great fun with them. the visual design is beautiful and the landscapes are interesting to explore. the action sequences involve the first person annihilation of some fairly rudimentary skull suckers, soldiers and zombielike critters with various firearms, and using a gravity gun to hurl and smash anything else. there is always enough health and ammo to keep you going, and a few puzzle tasks here and there to change the tempo. my main complaint is the plotting: your avatar, dr. freeman, is continually pushed into one plot exigency or another by the whims and decisions of his female companion, alex vance, who is certainly sexy in her low riders and tight jacket but is highhanded and in the end annoying. i was sorry my gravity gun did not enable me to give her a good spanking. but off i went, here and there, at her bidding, and once i forgot it was her idea in the first place the missions were compelling to complete: the whole dystopian world of aliens and biomorphs is spectacularly detailed. i encountered none of the bugs or glitches reported by other reviewers, but it's a shame that the engine must stop the action to load from disk as often as it does.

Best thing on Amazon
I would happily pay $100 for this box of games. I love HL and the series, and am an old TFC fan. This game revived my fandom. Portal is awesome, and TF2 is a blast. This is a must have for any gamer with a bit of pride in their collection. Rating:

Worth the Price for the Episodes Alone...
What an amazing deal! This package includes Team Fortress, Portal, and the new Half Life 2 episodes, plus a remake of the original that fixes a LOT of problems. First off, the graphics are improved (the floors are a bit shinier, etc.) Secondly, the frame rate is AWESOME (it was horrible in the original version) and the save system is just as great as ever.
The best Sci-Fi FPS pack in history. Buy it now! |
