Query: Half-Life 2 OK

The game is a lot a fun. Game runs pretty fast with the notable exception of Steam (EVERY TIME YOU START THE GAME !) Steam would have problems connecting and it won't even let you play (even as a single player) until IT decides to allow YOU. Rated so low because Steam gets in the way TOO much. It is definitely a very obtrusive piece of software that really detracts from the quality and entertainment value that the game can possibly provide.
