THIS FREAKING GAME IS FANTASTIC.

I’ll post more about this when I don’t feel like crap (I’ve got a really bad headache right now), but here are some of the things that are great:

• Better graphics. WAY better graphics. Like, holy crapples.
• More diverse set of scientists. It’s not just the same three guys and a gaggle of their clones.
• The scientists/security guards are hysterically snarky towards Gordon. It’s fantastic.
• While most of the game is the same, there ARE some new/different parts, which is great because I’d basically memorized the original and could go through it quite easily.
• Gordon Freeman is still very much Gordon Freeman.

WOO!
