At the end of Half-Life, the G-Man offered you a choice: work for him or die. Or did he? Half-Life 2 starts you off facing the infamous G-Man, the mysterious blue-suited character from the first game. In Half-Life 2, you once again assume the role of Gordon Freeman, the theoretical physicist and dimension-hopping commando who saved the world from an alien invasion at the end of Half-Life. It's time for you to once again take up your submachine gun and take out all the foes threatening humanity.
Still, that doesn't stop Half-Life 2 from being a very impressive and engaging shooter, and a faithful follow-up to one of the greatest PC games of all time. With that said, many of those tricks feel more than a bit familiar now, and the game itself is saddled with a disappointing story. And, in many ways, this big-budget sequel does what it sets out to do: Half-Life 2 is a technically amazing, sharply honed first-person shooter that pulls all the tricks that made Half-Life such a beloved experience. Well, it's time to forget about that, because Half-Life 2 has arrived. And while there was little question that there would eventually be a sequel, no one could have imagined the long and torturous development process that led to Half-Life 2.
As a result, it paved the way for many of the outstanding first-person shooters that have followed. Half-Life single-handedly reinvented the first-person shooter, putting the emphasis on cinematic pacing and complete immersion in the experience.
