The beloved PC shooter finally hits the Xbox console, but is it the same game that gamers raved so much about while playing it on their fancy PCs?

THE STORY SO FAR
I'm actually pretty lost when it comes to the story of the Half-Life franchise. I never got to play the original game on the PC (my computer was too weak and by the time I got a new one why even bother to go back and play it) and so I know hardly anything at all about it. In the first game, apparently some portal was opened in a laboratory that you as Gordon Freeman worked at, and it was up to you to not only stop the alien menace that was coming through, but to prevent the government from covering up the mess by eliminating you in the process. At the end of the game, it appears as if some mysterious G-Man (brings to mind the Smoking Man from the X-Files) gives you the choice to either die or to live to fight another day by going through some portal.

Half-Life 2 takes off with the G-Man talking to you after your time in the portal. The G-Man has dropped you into a new mission to fight, but what/who he is and what plans he has for you never really made sense to me or were even that clear to begin with. The game starts you off in City 17 as you try to get your bearings of what is going on. The only thing you really know by looking around is that humans are moved from city to city as some alien menace
