 ive seen poor attempts at this, this is a great touch though and i honestly dont believe it would be easy to make, having perfected things like that is a big smile for me because it should mean the rest is that standard  |

Most things are done by shaders. The whole dynamic lightning of D3 is based on shaders. But since DX9 there is the HLSL (High Level shadering Language), which is a C Style language. It allows the developer to think about what he wants to do (writing a cool shader) instead of playing around with the GPU (normally, shaders had to be written in ASM). An experienced programmer will do such a magnifaction very easy. A very much more complicated effect is for example the "Heat Effect" of Doom 3.

I doubt it's that easy, otherwise we would have seen it more often.

Of course it is not that easy, and even an experienced programmer has to understand and practice writing shaders, because the hard part is the math.
Maybe you misunderstood me, I just wanted to say, that this effect isn't that special since we saw more interesting shaders in D3, and even in the Videos of HL2. The magnifaction is a magnifaction of textures by ps and a retransformation of the vertices.

The guy at PC Gamer wrote in the review something about "the 20 hours" you play , is the game only 20 hours or what?
[Edit]
On page 71 (jpg nr6) he wrote the following: "There are a couple of moments in these twenty hours where something isnt perfect in its pace or placing, but these are minor..."

I tip i can give to everyone is to record when playing (using the console). I´ve started doing this in game were it is possible and it´s alot of fun watching yourself play. And HL2 is the perfect game to record cus there is alot of stuff your probably would want to save.

20 hours aint too bad. Infact, I think it's the perfect amount for a FPS. I can never play a single FPS that's longer (not like there are too many). Besides, leave this game to the mods, peoples! Peace,
fear the led zeppelin that was!

I don't think the reviewer would cheat just so they can beat the game with a record
