This is my previous favorite game of all time before this generation changed my mind with Fallout 3 and then Skyrim. I must have played through this at least ten times on PC and Xbox 360. The atmosphere and genre go from sci-fi (obviously) to war, to horror, to driving, to puzzle seamlessly. The Source engine blew me away at the time, and even though it was the first iteration of the engine, it still holds up well graphics-wise today.

One my top 25 games of all time.
As it should be. I once saw someone mention on reddit or another site that they didn't care for Half Life 2. That may literally be the only bad comment I've ever read about it.
