I did NOTHING today, and NOTHING rocks

Its more of the same actually. It picks up right where Half Life 2 ends, but I wont tell you more than that. I like it, its 20 bucks, seems like itll take 6-7 hours to play through. Thats more than some 50 dollar games cost. Only one new baddie in Episode 1, a combine zombie (Zombine) with a grenade. If you dont drop them quick, they toss the grenade. If you do drop them in a pack, sometimes the grenade pops the surrounding zombies too. I read in PC Gamer that Episode 2 is supposed to be much different. Outdoor wooded environment with some new baddies. Overall if youre a fan of Half Life 2, get it. I actually have more fun playing around with Garrys Mod. Ever try that? Its like a sandbox within Half Life 2. You can do ANYTHING, create anything. Its like a virtual erector set. I highly reccommend it.
