It may be 40 years old, but it wasn't until PONG came along and made it notorious. And yes, it's a very young medium. Give it another 10 years and we'll reach to the equivalent of 'Citizen Kane'.
I think that a lot of people here are getting lame with their statement that VALVe is under delivering. Episode 1 came in 1ยบ July of 2006, only 10 months have passed! You have to take notice than this time around they are releasing it also for consoles, and employing a new render engine with new particle effects, cinematic physics, implementation of multi-core technology, etc. The gap between this episode and the first one is pretty big. Also, you're going to get 2 more games: Portal and Team Fortress 2. I don't know why you people are complaining of. If you're computer can't handle it, it's time to buy a new video card, seriously, a 7300GT cost like 80 U$S or less.
