Bad Company 2: Only played the single player, which is cliched, slow and lame.
Half Life 2 Episodes - Despite the fact that I didn't much like HL2. Bored of Episode 1 after about half an hour.

So all in all, not fantastic, but not awful either.

I recommend you try the multiplayer. 'Tis great if you have any friends to play with you.

??? You're one of the very few that I've seen/heard say that.

Discussing Half Life 2 with other people is one of the most frustrating experiences I can have, because I think I am literally the only person on earth who doesn't love it. And I hate jumping into multiplayer without finishing the campaign first, but I cannot endure 10 hours of walkwalkwalkshoot cutscene escort quest.

Well, luckily the campaign is very short. Took me about 6 hours, maybe 7 to finish on normal. And I agree with you that it sucks, but the multiplayer completely makes up for it.

Actually i never bothered to finish it too ;) Best things to come from HL 1&2 were separate mods for multi: CS,DoD, TF

HL1 was very good. The story was you. HL2, and the episodes I think I played hopeing to learn something about the story. It didn't work.

Still obsessed with HL1's final boss's words: "The truth you will never know!" - I WANT TO KNOW DAMN IT!

Well, I only got GTA IV Complete Edition and am mildly enjoying my purchase but awhile back I got Duke Nukem Forever (44.99 USD) and still haven't beaten it but I am loving it. I also got the FEAR Collection and played like an hour of the first game and don't really care for it :/
