Half-Life 2 is the game of the DECADE!

Lol why. A corridor crawl with a non-existent story line wins game of the decade? Halo did HL2 but better - the vehicles didn't handle like poop.

Are you confusing this game with something else?

The story of Half-Life 2. You wake up, shit's gone down, then travel from point A -> B -> C -> D and some chick gets an inexpliable crush on you. And you're being stalked by a dude in a suit. Story done.
And it is a corridor crawl most of the time. There is no lean mechanic and cover tends to be lacking in most places.

You must have missed the story. There are few cutscenes as most of the story takes place as you're playing.

It's so far from being a corridor crawl it's ridiculous. No lean mechanic, seriously?

Edit: Post above sums it up very well

What story?? The protaginist says a total of nothing. Zero. Zip. F all. As I'm playing all I could see is that aliens had taken over (combine) and there was a resistance to stop them. You join the resistance and take out the top guy at the end. Then a mystery guy in a suit says some random stuff that makes no sense. That's it. That is the story. It's cliche and forgetable. 

Most of it is a corridor crawl. Oh a few physics puzzles. Big woop. Physics and graphics don't make a game. The post you state sums it up is nonsense. As I have said time & again, what is this great story exactly? Hell, it doesn't even come close to the storylines of many RPG's and frankly is on par with Halo.
