| OMFG A HL2 advert!!! It was pretty crap [ HL2 symbol and a heart beat in the background] but it's the first one i've seen! Anyone else seen one? |
Yeah I've seen the same one... they could've done so much better 
At least show the manipulator! I love seeing that thing in action ^^

Bought the gold package.
Originally pre-payed for the Collector's but there was no guarantee of the Back Catalogue and DoD:S, and since it cost almost the same and gold had more goodies I found someone with a credit card who would front for me. I'm happier giving more of my money to Valve than to Vivendi.
[addsig]sorry didnt see this post before i started a new topic.

I don't know whether it'll have arrived or not 
Lep ordered it at the weekend I think but whether its been posted yet...or had an attempted delivery and been taken to the Post Office, I don't know.
Worst day at work ever though...it's like trying to get to sleep on Christmas Eve when I was little (no trouble these days though!).

I think the UK have been slightly ripped off in some ways. We didn't have any 'collector' edition, meaning that the majority of people who purchase HL2 will not benefit from HL:Source and DoD:Source etc. Doesn't bother me particularly as i've always been a FLF player - but some may find it slightly annoying.
HL2 is bloody good though! I've not played it much yet but so far it's ace 
I've been playing it since its release, and after the first chapter I'd definately say its f**king awesome and heaps better than the original Half-Life, Halo/2 or any other game that claims to be the best. We have a new champion.
The initial escape from city 17 is so realistic and genually scary, as masked combine troops come storming after you. The extended chase sequence on the air boat is incredible, and didn't seem like it would end. The gravity gun was everything I could have hoped for (particularly with saw blades).
Incredible level design, pace, visual effects, action, story and suspense easily make this the best game of the year, possibly ever. 10/10, five stars.
