    Why are you not interested in HL2? It's a superb shooter.

    If you're too scared of monsters to play HL2, then skip the STALKER games as well. STALKER is far scarier than HL2.

    You liked Farcry 2 and disliked HL2? You must be a Bizarro World gamer.

    As I said earlier FC2 is flawed, but the shooting is good. AI isn't good enough to make it work but it was a good idea, let's see how Crysis 2 turns out, also sandbox. And Half-life 2 what to say, step back from the first which was already (imho) eclypsed by No one Lives Forever. Never understood the love for the Half-Life games.

    When it came out, it had top-notch graphics, challenging levels, unique weapons, interesting puzzles, good level design, and superb set-piece scripting. While the story wasn't that strong and the ending was poor (prior to the release of Eps 1 & 2), the rest were more than enough to make it a 'good' shooter. The Half Life games are about as good as it gets when it comes to linear shooters. I agree they're not as fun as sandbox shooters (FarCry, Crysis, STALKER, etc.) but they're very good at what they do. There's a reason why HL2, HL, and the Orange Box are three of the top four games on metacritic.

    Even then, NOLF was so much better, both in gameplay and class. First HL hour was good but once you reached the surface it gets boring. No mechanical poodles to distract german shepherds just to start.
