first off i played hl2 in 2005 on the computer. i only played it because of all the hype/awards for the game that i had heard/read. and so it greatly disappointed me.

unreal tournament >> hl2
quake 4 >> hl2
doom 3 >> hl2
far cry (although barely) > hl2

 

I honestly missed this and I just need to comment on it as well. Next thing I hear from you will be:

Halo2,3>hl2

Gears of war > hl2

Resistance > hl2

Killzone > hl2

I think ssj12 expressed my reaction perfectly when I first read that post.

 

no. just no.. grant it R2 and K2 will. Gears isnt even the same genre. Halo is just generic. HL2EP2 > HL2EP1 > HL2 so it doesnt matter if game X is better then HL2 there are two games better then it.

I disagree, I think HL2 is better than all those, but whatever.

Also, I think it's HL2ep2>=HL2>HL2ep1.  HL2 is such an amazing accomplishment, and I still find it thrilling to play today.  And the slower parts honestly pace the game in my opinion.  HL2 ep 2 is on the same level, possibly greater.  If there were more than 4 hours of ep2, it'd beat the original, but since it's so short it's hard to call it better than HL2.  And HL2 ep1 improved on HL2 for sure, but again it suffered from being too short with not enough interesting content.

Anyway, I'm done.
