No Excuse to miss out on this July 17, 2008
Seeing as the price has come down quite a bit since release there is really no reason to miss out on this experience.
If you like first person shooters the Half-Life Series is top notch.
If you like multiplayer Team Fortress 2 is a lot of fun.
And everyone needs to experience Portal.
You get a lot of entertainment in this package. The only reason not to get this would be if you don't like first person perspective games.
Best Bargain for Gaming! July 17, 2008
First, I've owned Half Life 2 and HL: Episode 1 on PC and this version looks as good on a flat screen with HDMI, if not better. Second, I've noticed no appreciable slowdown, lags, or freezes. Sony has an online patch for the game that you can download the first time you run it- I've used it and the games run great.
I mean.. 5 games. Half Life 2 is a must have if you enjoy sci-fi and like first person shooters.. it's got one of the most uniquely fresh game worlds you'll ever play in. Aside from Half-Life and Ep. 1&2, you also get the platform puzzle shooter Portal- a wonderful mess-with-your-head game with cool humor. And Team Fortress is a solid online capture-the-flag shooter with characters reminiscent of 'the Incredibles'. (no, I haven't noticed any lags in the Sony server, either)
This game pack is a must have- and at this price- it's a no-brainer.
Great Value! July 16, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Not only do you get the entire line of Half-Life 2 games (massive first person role playing/shooter game) but you also receive Team Fortress (entertaining online shooter) and Portal (great puzzle game) as well for less than $30.00 making it a must buy for anyone owning a PS3 console. In full 1080p view the games are just breath taking, in a matter of minutes you will find yourself becoming immersed into the games' massive environments (such as that of Half-Life 2's that are a combination of something along Orson Welles' 1984 and Interplay's Fallout) that have you coming back for more. The replay value is like that of reading a good book, you'll play it again just to experience it one more time.
A definitive must buy.
Strongest purchase for the PS3. June 7, 2008
Five awesome games by one awesome company, don't own a PS3 without getting this game. You'll never regret it.
Essential May 31, 2008
If you have a PS3 and wanna have hours and hours of fun, this is the game!
