Viqor played Half-Life 2: Episode Two

Started playing through Episode 2 again. I was hoping to be able to play through the entire game in one day, like I did with Episode 1, so I could be finished by the time Portal 2 came out, but it really wasn't going to happen. I think that Episode 2 is at least twice as long as Episode 1, as after about as much time as I spent on that game, I had only just gotten the car, which I think is about half way. Still, brilliantly designed game, better than Episode 1, maybe even on par with Half-Life 2, with constantly changing objectives and new styles of gameplay, you really never get bored. The visuals are not quite the leap that Episode 1 was over HL2, but they are still very attractive and hold up quite well even by today's standards.
