I don't understand how people can be disapointed by HL 2 unless they had serious technical issues with it (which some people did). No game has created as emersive a graphical universe.. truely a masterpiece.

It's a lock for Computer Game of the Year, IMO.. although in THEORY WoW could pull something out of its ass and win. As for GOTY, I expect some console game to snag it, just because of their popularity...
