Half Life 2: Episode 1 Critique Created 18 years ago2006-08-14 18:37:10 UTC by Boxtop17

I don't know if anyone posted this before, but I was skimming through Video Google the other day and came across this: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7791992304107970746&q=Half+Life&hl=en

It's a very well-done (IMHO) commentary of HL2:EP1 by a fan of the game. My brain's been completely blank for the last week so feel free to add in your own comments.

awesomely done.

That was superb. Very entertaining, I sat through it all, and wanted more. He just summed up everything perfectly.

interesting comments on the logos and such.

It was amazingly well planned out and narrated, especially for a simple fan, not a company or big internet site. They were all very good thoughts and it's almost amazing how people equate certain things with life and how much thought people will put into somthing as simple as a game. I especially like the part where he talks about the Yahoo Search made me laugh. I also like the choice and use of the HL2 audio tracks that applied to what he was talking about. For instance, the track played for Black Mesa was played when he spoke of Dr. Kliener. Amazingly well constructed!

5 stars for sure!

This is probably a tongue in cheek review but I have a nagging suspicion he's the biggest fanboy who has ever lived and dont want to waste an hour finding out which it is.

FOUR HOURS quote unquote etc

Loved it.
Makes me wanna play episode 1 even more

haha!

"and when gordon finally gets the super-gravity gun, i thought 'wow... what a great time this would would be to have a final showdown with the g-man' naturally, you'd shoot him repeatedly in the crotch until... well, i guess he'd burst in to flames.. then you use his corpse as a weapon against the combine.."
