oooh I don't know 4-6 hours of gameplay!! Wow that's really worth it! Pfff. Gimme a break..But it is what I expect from Valve, half-assed effort. How much says the content of this expansion(or so they call it) is the remaining junk they ripped from HL2 prior to shipping...Geee, I wonder.. Naw, not Valve... the gods of gaming! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!

xxxx, VALVE live in their own world akin to what's *in* HL2- literaly!!
I find it incredible to believe that there are sooo many mugs out there willing to shell out ££$$ for a mere one day-sitting (a Sat for eg) on their computer for a pathetic continuation of what should have been finished! AND then pay out again for another 4-6hours.... Rolling Eyes

No wonder the games industry is in such a mess...or is it the gamers??
The world now is a disposable one. Kids now shell out big bucks (or their parents do) on a game that they finish it the same day (probably using cheats) then want another the next day. The parents happily oblige,clueless as they are and with more money than sense, and so continues the cycle...

I don't mind if a company just releases a NEW follow-up (like Monolith are doing with FEAR -but it's not going to be called FEAR Wink

) but VALVE are beyond a joke.
Oh we put our 'new' HDR technology into the addons and called it 'improved graphics'... Far Cry is still light-years ahead on that department and it's a couple of years old now.
Keep smokin' it VALVE
