Cons: CS Source could use new maps, new sounds.

The Bottom Line: Do you think a review does justice to the rebirth of PC gaming? Guess again. Play it, trust me. It's for your own good.

Review: If you would asked me what the next revolutionary game would be back in 2000 or 2002, I probably would have given you an answer like UT 2004 or Battlefield 1942. These games are all truly amazing in their own respect, but after playing Half Life 2,...

Pros: Pretty game, reasonable hardware requirements, imaginative, fun to play.

Cons: Really awful copy protection scheme, awful ending and lousy approach to making the game 'harder'.

The Bottom Line: Good game, fun to play, be prepared to spend an hour or two installing it. Four stars instead of 5 due to the overly onerous copy protection and install scheme.

The biggest downside to this game gets you right up front, the installation and activation...

Pros: Perfectly executed gameplay, beautiful graphics, real-world quality sounds, replayability, and a nice suspenseful ending.

Cons: No instruction booklet; must deal with Valve's Steam software, which can be an extreme hassle.

The Bottom Line: Easily one of the top 3 best games every made. Worth the price. If you thought about buying it, do it.

Review: I started out on games like Wolfenstein 3D and Catacombs 3D. I was about 10 at that time. Let's just say I am well versed in computer games. I anticipated this game from the day it was announced, and a week after it came out, I bought it.

...

Pros: Graphics, Havoc Physics, Sweet sound FX! Captivating gameplay.

Cons: Steam at times..

The Bottom Line: This game ranks among the top games on the market for a combination of visual, audio, and game engine fx. It is a worthy investment!

Review: I have been playing 1st person shooters since Wolfenstein and none have been more of a mind blowing experience than Half-Life 2.

The Bottom Line: If you have the specs for it, this is the ultimate first-person shooter experience.

Review: I bought my copy off steam (www.steampowered.com) which is Valve's game distribution service. After a lengthy Installation process, I had myself a good copy of Half-Life 2. The story takes place about 20 years after the incident at black mesa in the...
