It appears you need to start up *hack* *spit* Steam and click on 'news'.  Then close steam and click on the link in the browser window, which will start up steam again and do some wacky-baccy 'validation' stuff.  Which seems to work.

that's so true Flipside... there's no part of the game now that i can pass without destroying any crates i see, either with the gravity gun, or with the crowbar...  i'll be driving that vehicle around, see a crate, stop, get out, kill the crate, and drive on... it's addicting

HL2 is the new king of FPS!!!!!!

HAIL TO THE KING!

HL2 is awesome but ending was really bad

I think that Gordon is some kind hitman who eliminate targets and moves next (Gman gives orders)

It;s good - very good - but not brilliant.  There's a lack of variety of enemies & weapons IMO.

Flipside, I've only one image to post to compliment that

Sadly, I spent half an hour on the Coast level doing nothing but shooting cars over the cliff edge and into the ocean with the grav gun.

I can't help but wonder if the grav gun is going to be some sort of second signature weapon alongside the crowbar...

(spoilerised on the off chance you might not want to see it.

Spoiler:

I loved that level (specifically the bits along the clifftop road), had a really good sense of some mad-max / 28 days later style devastating even.  One of the things the game is good at - maybe too good - is putting you in a situation where you wonder 'what the **** happened here?' - i.e. in little ruined houses with the windows boarded up, or coastlines with deserted car wrecks, or even a strange sort of fortress village thing (not Ravenholm, that bit where you need to find the batteries on the road bit).

The only thing is that IMO they needed a wee bit more information to put it more into context... especially in explaining who was firing the headcrab-artillery, or even just how long you'd been out of it (presumably they wanted the player to feel like a man with amnesia?).

haha every time i see someone i always throw something at them, to see their reaction.  usually it's nothing.

Bah. Cliffhangers are the best kind of ending ever, except for when evil wins, but that never happens.

that is true Halo2 did have little better ending because it's was epic

Hl2 end was like stop (when you want more it's end)

[Deepblue]

I heard Halo 2's ending was like stopping in the middle of the story...

True, but that said - I for one felt that HL2 *started* with a cliffhanger, and didn't get much better from there untill the end.

Hl2 was fun, so, lets just leave it at that.

That was actually what I liked about HL2's story. What made it not very good was the fact it didn't ask any more questions, at the end you were left with pretty much the same ones you had at the start.

I have a quesion that I didn't want to start a whole new thread for: Does anyone know if there's any possibility that Killzone will be made for the PC?

[Deepblue]

Probably no. (it got a crap score anyway)
