Wonder when is episode 3 releasing?

I will not mention the plot here.
The graphics are amazing and looks more better. The game play is very interesting as ever filled with puzzle solving, a bit of fun, enough battle time, and play hero for Alyx, which I personally like, and also Alyx is handy as ever and better in assisting, she is a improved version, and she can kick , and very helpful as a sniper when required and also good with the gun. A new weapon has been added, which is more shaped like a football, its called Magnusson Device to fight the Stride, Antlion Worker is a new enemy which attacks using some kind of acid, the hunter fight in packs and are better and stronger, the antlion grub actually not a enemy but a more health pickup.
Without seeing g-man half life is not half life, he makes his appears too when Alyx is being healed.

Again towards the end Half Life 2 leaves the player with what to expect in the next episode 3.

Half life 2 episode 2, again is a well balanced, short and sweet game, with good mix of fun, puzzles solving, a good final battle. The games starts off slow, starts picking pace, the paces goes to a peak, and ends with a tragic note, Eli is killed by the Combine Advisor.
Dog is seen less, one idea could be that to fight the Stride, Gordan could have used the help like throwing the Magnusson Device at the Strider and Gordan could shoot it, probably it would have been more fun, may be not. Any way in the end the game is great as ever, continuing to entertain me.

If only Dog had come in time to rescue Eli.

Learning Curve: Instant!
