Eurogamer has released an article showing thier top ten favourite games of 2004.[br]And yes, you've guessed it, Half-life 2 came in first place.
Take a look at the entire article here , and see what else was featured in the Top 10.As clever, articulate and well made as a linear FPS has ever been. Still has the odd pacing problems of Half-life - that is, getting stuck in a puzzle breaks the illusion of the game completely - but when it's flying, there's not an action game in existence that can match it. Yet again, it's a case of how the story is told rather than what the story is. If there's been a moment of naturalistic story-telling as perfect Alyx's kiss of her father's cheek in 2004, I haven't seen it.
