It's easy to see why HL2 has topped the charts, it's the best first-person shooter in existence. Can't wait to give the expansion a go.

I bought The Orange Box just recently. And it is as cool as everyone is making it out to be. I also agree that HL is the best first person shooter there is. I mean, Halo is cool and all, but it seems more of a kiddy kind of game compared to the HL series.

regarding the system sales...i wonder if Wii would be outselling the others if the actual systems were available. demand doesn't seem to have lessened at all.
