HalfLife2.net has now released their great to read review of Half-Life 2. Here some words:

I woke up that morning and I felt like a kid again on Christmas Eve. I wasn't alone either as the whole of the community felt exactly the same - and not a single one of them tried to hide it. With nearly 2,000 people viewing the forums and over 1,000 people spamming our IRC channel, the community was bursting with anticipation. The date? Certainly not quite near December 24th, Christmas Eve. Instead it was the eve of the release of Half-Life 2, the sequel to the best PC action game of all time and it was November 15th 2004. So what's all the excitement about? Why are so many people (and many more who don't actively partake in internet communities) actually excited about it?

The full review, which is quite informative, can be found here.
