This one gets some mixed reviews as it didn’t really keep my interest strong enough to play it all the way through.  Which is pretty uncommon for me and these types of games.  I got pretty frustrated in some areas of the game and gave up on it completely.  Perhaps its because I just got my PS3 and have 18 games in my game queue that I want to play and this one lost my interest quickly.  I may have to rent this one again when I have gone through a bunch of other games so I don’t feel the need to trade up so quickly with Gamefly.

The graphics were decent nothing that really blew my socks off and the levels looked exactly how they are on the PC version that I played and beat about 2 years ago.  Portal and Team Fortress were not very interesting and would take Unreal Tournament over it any day.  The second episode of Half Life II played a lot like the first episode so I was kinda over it after I spent many days beating the first chapter 2 years ago.

The game did freeze on me a few times requiring me to do a cold reboot in the middle of the game which I wasn’t too happy about.  I have come across a few reviews that said Steam was going to release a patch soon but I decided to return the game a few days ago.
