The incredible Half-Life 2 series is gearing up for its next episode later this year, in the shape of Half-Life 2: Episode Two - what Valve has described as its very own 'Two Towers', before the 'Return of the King' finale with Episode Three.
Valve, partnered with EA for the series' episodic updates, is releasing a sensational pack called The Orange Box for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 that inbcludes the original Half-Life 2 game, Half-Life 2: Episode 1, the anticipated Episode Two, as well as Team Fortress 2 and the mind-shattering original shooter that is Portal - demonstrating the true world-class level of this developer's output, combined with the publishing might of EA.
The strategy of offering fans episodic follow-up content to the landmark sequel, which debuted back in 2004, has been the subject of interest and debate - and it's the Half-Life 2 series itself that forms the basis of Kikizo.com's exclusive interview with Valve bigwig Doug Lombardi.
The most disappointing and infamous video game endings even sour the overall thoughts of a game. Most of these titles represent some of the finest entries in their respective series, marred by an ending we can't quite forgive.
There is no game called Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 2, but Rebirth had a great ending imo. Felt robbed by the ending at first, but the more I've seen it and during my 3rd playthrough, I started to understand and realize a lot more that make me appreciate the ending.
I was enjoying FFVII Remake, even though those whispers throughout the game were annoying. But the ending was so bad that I don't even want to play Rebirth. On top of that, from what I saw on reviews, the ending of Rebirth is even worse.
Also, I'm glad to see Zero Time Dilemma being recognized as the trainwreck it is. After the amazing two first games (especially the near perfect second one), the low quality of the trilogy end is baffling. The new characters are bad, the old characters don't feel like themselves, a surprise "alien technology" pops out of nowhere, the big twist was like "eh?", and it doesn't really finish the story nor explains the loose threads from the second game.
The Half-Life soundtrack (as well as Half-Life 2) is now available to play for free on a number of music streaming services.
Modders bring Titanfall level acrobatics to Half-Life’s humble gameplay
Apex Legends set a high bar in fps mobility. I think new games are now required to have some good mobility options.
are the only things even keeping my interesting in Half-Life.
Sorry but ill just check it out on my PC.
I'm getting HL2:E2, Portal and Team Fortress 2 on my PC as well it will suck on both the Xbox 360 and PS3 sorry console fans it will.
So I'm very much looking forward too the Orange Box.^^^Zonetrooper5, lets pass judgment once the console versions are released!
they can keep their games, let em make games for the Wii since they love it so much. I'll play my PS3 exclusives.
