Game Informer gives Half-Life 2 a 9.5 and Halo 2 a 10

[spitcodfry]

I have a scan of it in case you want proof. Just list your e-mail in this thread and I'll send it.

I'm not sure about Game Informer's biases (if they have any) so I don't think I can really comment on the Halo 2 review at this point. Suffice it to say they think it's amazing:

Simply put, Halo 2 is by far the greatest first-person shooter the console world has ever seen.

A favorite quote of mine from the Half-Life 2 review:

Even Isaac Newton would be impressed by the things this game does with physics.

I also have the Halo 2 review for anyone who wants to read that as well.

[Chiefi]

I hope this won't turn out as a Hl2 vs Halo 2 thread again...

if you want to send me those hl2 and halo 2 scans: [email protected]

thanks.

 

[PoeticRocker]

Game Informer officially sucks now for rating pc games

 

[Tork]

For me a 9.5 for a PC Game is over 10.0 for a console game.

halo 2 will entertain me all of one week (which is when hl2 comes out). When HL2 comes out...well...lets just say its going to take a PRETTY good game to distract my attention from HL2.

 

[Pressure]

Both!

[Top Secret]

[email protected] if you will. I'm curious to see this.

Half-Life 2's con: It ends.
Halo 2's pro: It ends.

Halo 2's con: After HL2 comes out my halo 2 disk will be quite dusty for a while.

 

[PoeticRocker]

When did the issue come out? Im a subscriber and havent got it yet. Well ill be cancelling my subscription now, the magazine sucks anyway.

A quote from the hl2 review:

"The odd rough spot here and there prevents me from bestowing a perfect score to Half-life 2..."


Thanks to Spitcodfry for the review. :cheers:

Well.. I'm sure it wasn't the same person reviewing both.. so the fact that they were reviewed by the same magazine means little.

None the less.. RECOUNT!

 

[spitcodfry]

Okee dokey...just sent both scans to those who provided me with their addresses on the thread. Sorry for the wait. Yahoo mail isn't the ideal client for attaching files larger than a meg in size. The only cons mentioned in the Half-Life 2 review dealt with the vehicle control. They thought it was awkward trying to get the feel for them, and the sections of the game they're used in were too long and drawn out. Other than that spades all around. You can pretty much guess there's next to no negative things said about Halo 2 (duh 10/10).

 

[Chiefi]

Some other quotes:

"The vehicles are a nice change of pace, but controlling them is a bit awkward, and the sections of the game that you spend on them are way too long."

"Once you've seen the (admittedly awesome) ending and know how to get through the tough parts, there's not a whole lot left to do."

"...but the vehicles are often a pain to drive."

That's about all of the negative points he had to say.

or however you would say it....

I'm combining a bunch of addresses to make it easier to send things cause the attachments are so large. It would be a lot easier for me if you gave me an e-mail here.

This thread's going to be closed pretty darn soon. (It's illegal). That being said, I still appreciate what you're doing.

Thanks if you manage to share it :bounce:

Also, can some people say if GameInformer gave it some "one of the best FPSs of all time" or "superb FPS" credit?

I've seen some negatives, put some glowing remarks would be nice, lol.
