DESCRIPTION
The second installment in Valve's planned trilogy, Half-Life 2: Episode Two continues the first-person exploits of scientist Gordon Freeman as he moves away from City 17 and into uncharted territory. While the Citadel is little more than charred rubble, the danger is far from over.
Players will engage new enemy variants and factions while fighting alongside rebel forces in forest regions, underground tunnels, base camps, and more. An emphasis on open-ended encounters means players can accomplish objectives in multiple ways, using the terrain as part of their strategy to deal with hostile creatures such as Hunters, Striders, and Antlions.
More physics-based puzzle sequences are part of the action, and a new vehicle type lets Freeman traverse the expansive environments with one of the game's non-player characters, who will automatically man a gun turret to provide protection against oncoming threats. Visual enhancements include dynamic shadow effects, a new particle system, improved physics, and support for multi-core processors.
Initial release of Half-Life 2: Episode Two can be purchased separately through Valve's online-only Steam service or as part of one of various retail packages distributed by Electronic Arts. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide

“Again, Valve seems to fail to understand that "episodic content" does not mean "pay $25 per third of the game instead of $40 for the whole thing." In fact, episodic content should mean "release another damn chapter of the game already, it's been a godddamned year!"
By the time the game came out, I was expecting a lot more. Having to shoot down stalkers with the gravity gun and bombs with a ballistic trajectory is kind of annoying. The introduction of an annoying guy, the death of a beloved character, and the teasing reference to Portal/HL2:E3 make this game more frustrating than it has the right to be.”
