Half-Life 2 Is an amazing FPS. Combining combat, puzzles, thrills, scares, and a great story it classifies what an FPS should be.

Half-Life 2 was originally for the PC available through Steam. The game was highly rated and recieved many awards for it's graphics, physics, and revolutionary gameplay. The Xbox port brings the same game with great controls and gameplay.

Half-Life 2 is about a alien force called the Combine that take over earth. You, Gordon Freeman, are transferred to City 17. There you begin your journey on liberating the people there from the Combine.

The story is great with many twists and thrills that you could never expect (spoiler: escpecially at the end).

The graphics are good for its time and are consistant with everything. The facial expressions are very realistic. Also the physics are amazing. You experience these alot with the gravity gun.

The shooting is solid with great weapons and situations. The weapons range from a crossbow that shoots red hot metal bars to a guided rocket launcher.

Altogether, Half-Life 2 is an outstanding game and is availabe for 360 with the Orange Box, PC, and Xbox.
