Half-Life 2

As much as I think HL2 is going to be one of the best games out there, I think it is pretty ambitious to call any game the best game ever, there is never going to be one definitive best game of all time.

The quote from PCG was "Possibly the best game ever". They never said it IS the best game ever.

Sorry, I quoted from an ad. 😬

As for what stores, some EB Games are giving out preorders.

BUT no one can play. Valve has a huge anti-piracy system going on: http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=19642

Yeah, but someone above made a good point, you do have to register the game online, and you won't be able to do that untill the 16th.

Edited. 🙂

In all honesty, I think I'm glad I don't have the game pre-ordered so I can get it now. It would be torture to have that game sitting here next to me, all the while knowing that I can't play it for 3 days. I'd be liable to go insane.

😄 Same here. I've been waiting for this game as long as everyone else. With Halo 2 coming out for XBox and San Andreas for PS2, and me having no consoles, this will be a nice fresh little present to get my hands on. Have you seen the trailer on the official site? Great stuff.

Yes, this game makes me moist.

Greatest line ever.

agreed!

well, it got 9.7 on IGN, and 9.2 on Gamespot.

Well, hopefully I'll have a brand spankin new computer ready for this game.

Will it be released tonight!?

Yes sir. I don't know if I'm getting it now, or after Thanksgiving Break (which we US people are having right now, by the way... well some of us 😛 ).

If I get it tomorrow, I won't be able to play it all break long. And if I wait I might actually get my mom to buy me the Collector's Edition. Usually I wouldn't be getting that, it's a waste of money, but I know this one store that ALWAYS puts the same price on normal and collector's editions of things. 😂

collectors edition this time round seems worth it to me for once, as you get the entire original game in source code, that would be worth the money by itself!

Not really not the whole original game.

I wouldnt get the collectors edition for a first person shooter.. I 'did' buy it for World of Warcraft though..

i think it is! well, thats what the blurb on this website seems to say:

The Collectors Edition will contain
- Counter-Strike: Source - The next generation of the #1 online action game
- Half-Life: Source - Digitally remastered version of the original acclaimed PC game
- Free Limited Edition T-shirt - Offered in men's size XL only
- Half-Life 2 Prima Book - Information on character backgrounds, the making of the game, and more than 100 pieces of artwork

went to the gamestore today, talked to the manager a bit and he showed me his stock of halflife2 and collectors edition, they were so shiny! 🙄 😆

Gamespot's review actually had quite a lot of negative things to say about the game 😕

I'm still gonna buy it though.

ive tried to not read anything on this game, its what i do with any game i plan on definatly getting. i feel if i read previews, reviews and stuff like that, then it may reveal things i never wished to know. if i dont read reviews or anything, everything will be fresh to me.

i know what i mean, im just not very good at typing descriptions!
