I just bought HL2 Episode 1! Steam is decrypting the game files as I post this. I can’t wait to play it. I am a bit annoyed that I had to pay an extra $10 for it, because I couldn’t buy it online, as I don’t have a credit card and my parents wouldn’t buy it for me, but it is much better than not owning it at all. And I also get a cool box!
I’ll post again after I’ve played a bit.

Update!
I have now played up to the third chapter (out of 5), and it is really good. The graphics are excellent, and there have been some great puzzles so far. It’s really great to have new challenges after playing Half-Life 2 so many times. It crashed on me a few times, but I downloaded an updated video driver, and now it works fine. I would play it all the way through in one sitting, but I want it to last at least a few days. Episode 2 isn’t coming out for 6 months!
Check out the screenshots here!
