SnprBoB86 writes "Planet HalfLife reports that latest issue of the UK PC Gamer been release with a review of Half-Life 2. The game scored a 96% (the same score as the original Half-Life and 6 points higher than Doom 3). This is just after Valve announced the Steam packages that will be available for purchase and that people who buy Half-Life 2 over Steam will be the first to play the final release of the new Counter-Strike: Source."

  2. PC Zone review by clamatius · · Score: 4, Informative

    The U.K. magazine PC Zone also reviewed HL2 in their latest issue.

    They gave it a score of 97%, which is the best score they've ever given a game.

    Reminds me of the Div3r reviews that came out a while back (there was even a slashdot story about it http://games.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/06/28/ 1745250&tid=127&tid=98&tid=10) is which exclusive reviews for the game were given under the condition that the game be given AT LEAST a 90% (or comparable) score. This completely defeats the purpose of having game reviews, as the people reviewing are REQUIRED to be impartial...

    Rant not withstanding, I personally have been looking forward to this game for several years and have already upgraded my box in anticipation... HL was great and I have no reason to expect anything but the very best from valve.
