What Ihira said. Valve has a track record for making some great games. And you have to realize something about valve games. When they first hype them, you never really realize what makes the game just from the screenshots or videos.

I think everytime Valve has released a game, it never looked all that special when they were initially hyping it. Why is that? Because what makes Valve games great is not the graphics, or anything you can just catch by a quick gameplay video or a screenshot. They always tend to make this wonderful environment and feel to a game that you can only experience actually playing the game.

Like my personal experience with their games, when i play them, at first i wonder whats so special about it, then as you play the game, you just get sucked into it. Its like Portal, what makes the game great isnt just the portal and the puzzles, but just the subtle tone of it as you play, and how the tone and environment of the game just changes throughout the gameplay.
