Half-life 2 is probably the best FPS ever. It's excellent graphics and terrific gameplay make this game a joy to play.
 The gameplay is not broken up by cutscenes and obeys physics, allowing you to stack and weight things which creates some brain teasing puzzles.

This game also is famous for the gravity gun, a fantastic achievement which can pick up items from a distance, hurtle objects and push enemies away.

Good points

  • Excellent graphics
  • Gravity gun!
  • Strong personalities and storyline
  • Difficult clever puzzles
  • Obeys physics

Bad points
  • Game broken up by annoying loading.
  • Too short
  • A little too easy
  • Scarce ammunition

Overall this a terrific game and in my opinion the best FPS evr made 5/5
