Hoping it drops to $20. I only want Portal and wish I could buy it by itself.

If you're getting it for the PC, you can also buy just Portal or just TF2 in a store.

I actually somewhat sympathize with this opinion. I found Half-Life 2 and Ep. 1 to be greatly overrated. Ep. 2 is GREAT though, and I finally got what all the hub-bub was about.

You might be sympathizing with a typo....


Gekko wanted to buy Portal by itself....


Then Combine 07 goes "You can buy it by itself,

but why the hell would you want to play Half-Life!?"


So, if I'm following this conversation, either I'm really confused or Combine meant to ask "why wouldn't you want to play half-life." Plus, I think Combine is a huge Half-Life fan.

Anyway, I just wanted to point that out because I'm confused.

But, carry on.

Oh, and in retrospect I kind of agree. Half-Life > Half-Life 2

No offense to you of course, Professor, but I found Half-Life 2 to be great, even if we're just taking into consideration the fact that it was a big step forward from the original Half-Life.

I will agree with you on Half-Life 2 Ep1, though. It was way too short and not enough good clean action. Mostly plot stuff.

Ep. 2 was perfect. I have high hopes for ep 3.

This sounds like a debate!

What makes Half-Life 2 a big step forward from Half-Life?
