HL 2 is simply that terrific. I tried pinning down why my heart was so happily skipping beats after I finished dueling with an assault helicopter that thought strafing Gordon was a good idea it was not. From what I can figure, most of my love stems from Half-Life 2 being the best paced game in existence. Some titles are predominantly dynamic. Halo 2 and Far Cry are good examples of dynamic action. In both games it's not uncommon to face a handful of smart enemies that are dropped into a large environment.
There they are. There you are. Go nuts. It's a simple formula that works because it offers a great deal of combat variation -- it offers approachability. Other games are heavily scripted. Allied Assault's enemies are dumber than broken bricks, but the game presents a long series of polished wow moments that create a cohesive, exciting experience.
Half-Life 2 is the near perfect combination of both design directions. It features excessive scripting that borders on interactive brilliance and within these meticulously planned segments it features enemies that boast frightening intelligence. Like some of you out there, I wanted to laugh at all the hype, dismiss Steam, and gawk at how all the money, development, and ravings of bulletin board users worldwide amounted to nothing more than some stupid piece of crap with a funny install.
I wanted to, but after I played it I just couldn't. Half-Life 2 is just fantastic, and it's definitely the best game I've played all year. Burnout 3: Takedown owned my life for a good month.
While there had been signs of greatness with the first two in the series, Burnout 3 finally realized its potential. I've never before experienced the sense of speed offered in Burnout 3.

What's surprising about Burnout 3 is that, unlike the second in the series, the racing is superior to Crash Mode. Atlantean players will be able to call upon the might of the Titan gods such as Atlas and Cronus multiple times throughout the game, and may also upgrade human units to heroes.

Deploy emergency vehicles and join in the action as they battle blazes, mobs, and more. Feel the rhythm of the city: mellow cruising and commuter hell, noontime crowds and nighttime calm. TRON 2. As Jet Bradley son of the original films hero Alan Bradley you will combat digital opponents using guns, rods, grenades, missiles, and the iconic TRON disc.
