EDGE, a British magazine, has reviewed HL2 in their December issue, giving it a perfect score of 10/10

On the same note, a German magazine, SFT has also popped up on newsstands recently containing a review for HL2. In this review they rate each different element in the game seperately and then overall score. For the overall technical score, they gave a high 99.5%, but if you include the humor rating into it, it brings the score back to 93.5%


Action: 3/3
Humor: 1/3
Spannung/Thrill/Suspense: 3/3
Anspruch/Challenge: 3/3
Gewalt/Violence: 3/3

Bild/Video: Sehr Gut/very good 1.0
Ton/Audio: Sehr Gut/very good 1.0
Bedienung/handling: Sehr Gut/very good 1.1
Spielspass/Fun factor: Sehr Gut/very good 1.0

German ratings are 1 = perfect 6 = very bad. So 1.0 = perfect

If these reviews turn out to be 1/2 accurate, I'd say HL2 is a lock for game of the year.

That's my prediction.

That and since things are so good in New England right now, I am going to predict John Kerry will be changing jobs soon.

GO PATS GO! 22 in a row!
