The defeat of the Covenant in the first Halo game was only a temporary victory, as the alien attackers have renewed their mission to wipe out all of humanity. Despite the human military force's and Master Chief's efforts, the Covenant have breeched the Earth's defenses and have left its inhabitants in a dismal situation. In the midst of desperation, players assume the role of Master Chief and lead the resistance against the Covenant to save the people of Earth from a gruesome demise. The long-awaited PC version of Bungie's FPS, Halo 2 offers the full single-player campaign and multiplayer maps of the original Xbox version, with the addition of the content in the Multiplayer Map Pack as well as a tool for building and customizing levels. The game requires Windows Vista. Less

Halo 2: Like old coffee ... simply stale

bytheuerkorn Oct 29, 2007
38 Helpfuls 39 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Finally available for PC, new map editor
Cons Low quality graphics, plain dumb AI, repetitive gameplay, price, Vista only
Recommended it? No

Microsoft has been controversial, yet successful, in the release of two extremely hyped products: Windows Vista and the Halo franchise (created by Bungie). With the PC version of Halo 2 they're joined at the hip and despite the clear marketing purpose (rather than technology), it still turned out... Read full review »

HALF-LIFE 2: Setting Standards ... in almost every aspect.

bytheuerkorn Dec 31, 2004
67 Helpfuls 68 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Physics, graphics, sound, weapons, equipment, controls, no CD dongle
Cons Online activation required, no manual available (at all)
Recommended it? Yes

In 1998 the original Half-Life set standards and the sequel initially set records in a slightly different way by being one of the longest delayed and yet published games ever. Half-Life 2 has finally been published in November 2004 -- 6 years after the original game made a big splash in the... Read full review »

Pros awesome graphics engine, solid plot, gameplay varies, huge environments
Cons high system specs, a few areas where the character will get "stuck"
Recommended it? Yes

Half Life 2 received solid reviews from all the major gaming sites on the web, including a 97% from IGN and a 92% from Gamespot, accounting for a disgustingly high 96% overall among 61 media outlets on the web. I wholeheartedly agree. Half Life 2 is without a doubt one of the best 3d shooters, and... Read full review »
