Half-Life 2 releases today

Much awaited sequel to the GOTY Half-Life finally is hitting the shelves on Nov 16, 2004. I got a free copy of the game, coz I bought ATI's display card in Nov 2003 and the game came free with it...Have been waiting for this game for almost a year since Valve's network was hacked and the source code was stolen.

Some goodies about this game,

a. Valve software has done a splendid job as far as building emotions in the face of characters in the game. No two characters in the game are the same. And with Valve's proprietary Source (TM) engine every characters face has about 40 muscle movements which help bring most of the human emotions to the face.

b. Physics - Every single object that you see inside the game follows the laws of Physics - Gravity, Mass, Bouyancy..

c. Audio - Every object makes a distinct noise when you hit it...Firing a bullet at wood is the best sound so far I like in the game..

d. Story line and Gameplay - 10 out of 10..

Just go get this game ....
