Half-Life 2: Episode 1

Dude, as if I would ever be bored with Half Life 2, valve went and released Half-Life 2: Episode 1. This extension to the original HL2 game takes place shortly after the end scene of the single player game. It came out on June 1st, but I was working late so I couldnt get to it. But I downloaded it today (the 2nd) and played it straight through.

In all it took me about 6 hours to complete it. I was slightly (and only very slightly) disappointed that my $20 only bought me so much game, but I think overall it was worth it. After all, I can always play it again. :)
Other than that, it was as freaking awesome as the parent game and made more so since it continued the story line from the originals ending. Valve plans to make 2 more extensions (Episodes 2 and 3) that will be available probably in the next 6 months or so since they said that the series will be completed by Christmas 2007. I, personally, can hardly wait.

On a side note, I wish they would remake Team Fortress Classic. That game would kick so much ass run under the HL2 engine. Maybe I should write an email to Valve and ask…

Anyways, if anyone is interested, here is the link to the new episode on Steam Powered
Cheers
