Just finished it. I liked it over Ep1, obviously, it had some nice sceneries and a great athmosphere. Go Ep3!
HL2 Episode 2 (possible spoilers)

Just finished it. Really enjoyed the experience, gagging for more...
Disappointed PC zone only gave EP2 82%. But this is coming from the reviewer who gave the lousy BF2 special forces 80 odd percent.

So are there any cognitive enhancements to HL ep2, or is it just the same **** with a different label?
Fixed.
Honestly though, I thought it played a bit differently and much better than what we saw in HL2. Episode 1 was essentially just an extra mission pack for HL2 since nothing was added, but this is almost a full fledged sequel.
Interesting. I've purchased the Orange box so we'll see very soon whether it is in fact just as pants as HL2...
I enjoyed Ep2 far more than Ep1. It wasn't just more dark places with zombies scaring the bejeesus out of you...though it did have that.
The variety was awesome. So was the story, AUGH!

E2 is clearly a better "product" than E1. Enough said 
Can't wait to see E3 and the (hopefull?) end to the Half-Life saga which I've been following ever since I played the beta of H-L original in software gfx mode back in '98 The question I most eagerly await the answer to is: WILL WE GET TO SEE GORDON HUMP ALYX? ^^
Valve has proved time and time again that they know their ****. Looking forward to more great singleplayer experiences from them

Some people are obviously masochists

Every time I look at statistics for SP games, I have such a hard time understanding why so many people don't even play the game they bought. According to the graphs barely half the people that bought Ep2 have played it for more than 4 hours, and not even half have finished the game. Even less people have completed Ep1 compared to Ep2, with that number being between 38% and 50% (according to the stats page). It just confuses me why people would bother to buy a game if they weren't intent on finishing (or even playing) it, not to mention that Ep1 and Ep2 are arguably some of the best SP experiences available.
Off subject, but has anybody else found the LOST easter egg yet? There's also a HL1 style H.E.V. recharging station panel that I found recently that I think is also an easter egg.

I think you have to post screenshots of the easter eggs.
Maybe these people buy it and play it a few weeks later?
Have to play it a second time to get all the achivements and listen to the commentaries
