I was pretty bummed when I finished HL2 last night...so I went out and bought episode 1 today! So far it's really cool. The bad thing is..the way I'm going I'll be done with it in a couple days. Waaaa!
I bought Half-Life 2: Episode 1

Couple days? I finished it in one sitting. ;/
Regardless, at least I found it to have had some replay value thanks to the commentary system they borrowed from Riddick. Wish more games would have such a thing, makes the product more complete feeling.
Yah, VALVe does some excellent commentaries so far!
Episode 1's is very informative, instead of just useless blabber about who was using the toilet at the time :p
Too bad we have to wait so long for the next... consider yourself lucky to have a few months less impatient waiting (and two fewer moments of "WTF, they delayed it again?!") than I have had to endure.
That trailer at the end is quite exciting. Words of advice, though: Don't watch any others until shortly before the actual release.

I played some HL2, EP1 after this thread caught my attention.
Yeah, the commentary is a good insight into design decisions and the methodology they use to develop good interactive enviroments.

hehe.. you won't regret it :)
Phew! What a play. Man oh man, has Valve crafted some great technology or what. The source engine is incredible.
Great game. Great franchise! Liked the intro to this one - it had me smiling ear-to ear.

I got stuck in the parking building with all the spider things attacking me while I'm trying to crank that door open...or is there another way?
you have to plug all the holes which the crabs climb out of.
Find 1 car wreck on each level, and open doors to get them into the main room.
THEN you'll be able to proceed.

I know you've seen the trailer for Half-Life 2:Portal ... OM ever loving G ... They are kings at reinventing a game and milking it (in the best way possible).
Portal huh what?!?! WOOhooo!! More HL2 is just splendid.
