I have to admit I never played Half-Life. It was one of the very few games that gave me heavy motion sickness - after half an hour of playing I felt like throwing up. Happened with vanilla Half-Life and Blue Shift, oddly enough I didn't have the problem with CS. But I felt the same motion sickness come up when I watched the HL2 movies, so I didn't even try...

Weird.

Anyway, I've just pre-ordered my Episode 1.

mmm... i bet i will be kinda shot by a few people but i really have not seen whats so special about HL2 other than its FOV making me sick... so it aint of no use for me to get Episode 1 since i didnt even finish the first one...
