Readers' Choice - Best PC Action Game

Half-Life 2

(PC)
Publisher: VU Games
Developer: Valve Software


"Half-Life 2 is a thrilling experience that bests the original in every conceivable fashion, not just in terms of its powerful technology, but in the way the technology serves the gameplay." - from fiddlecub's reader review

Far Cry

(PC)
Publisher: Ubisoft
Developer: Crytek


"Yes, the graphics are amazing, but that isn't what makes this game. It's the attention to detail. I don't know how many times I've given away my location to the bad guys because I'm too busy playing around with the environment." - from RabidFerret's reader review
