yes, it's worth buying. I think it's still the most beautiful game out there. The gameplay could have felt a little bit less linear, but the engine is outstanding. If I were to start a mod of my own, it would definitely be on that engine.

As for couter strike source... it's the same game on the new engine. Nothing really new there.

Half Life 2 was the first Valve game I bought. I had no idea what Half Life was and what kind of game it would be. Honestly. I started it and didn't leave my PC until most of it was completed. It's a great game to play and the game physics are amazing, check out the 'Chain Reaction' article posted today to see the game physics.

Counter Strike: Source is very nice, in my opinion, the most popular Valve game out there. It's definatley worth buying.

well ty for ur replies i may have to grap some money from hte back of the sofa and go n get it lol

sarcasm possibly, but to tell ya, your processor is good enough.

ask me, the Half life 2 death match is boring. same thing no matter what server you go to. the counter strike source. there is about 3 gametypes, dm and tdm (custom i think) and then the classic search and destory. nice game type. its a great game if you dont mind a lot of bunny hoppers.

as for the engine. its perfect. great graphics. doesnt take much to get them either. a lot of updates unfortunatly but those dont usually take that long
