Once
again players assume the role of Gordon Freeman, a scientist destined
to save the Earth from hordes of gruesome alien attackers. Valve has
created a fully realized world in Half-Life 2, with objects and
characters that feature accurate physics properties, behaving with the
appropriate mass, density, and physical properties of their real-life
counterparts. Extremely intelligent computer AI result in enemies that
plan, adapt, and respond to the player's actions.
The
next-gen console version comes packed with bonuses in addition to the
genre-expanding original Half-Life 2 game. Half-Life 2: Episode One and
Episode Two add-on levels are also on the disc, as are the stunningly
complex puzzle game Portal and the online phenomenon Team Fortress 2.

affects everything around him, from the physical environment to the
behaviors even the emotions of both friends and enemies.

second installment in Valve's episodic trilogy advances the
award-winning story, leading the player to new locations outside of
City 17.
Portal -- a pioneering type of single player
action game that rewrites the rules for how players approach and
manipulate their environment – much like how Half-Life 2's Gravity Gun
reinvented the way gamers interact with objects in the game.
Team
Fortress 2 -- an all-new version of the legendary title that spawned
team based multiplayer action games. The game's daring new art style
features the most advanced graphics of any Source-based game released
to date.
