I'm in Ravenhelm (or whatever) in Half Life 2. I have 0 shotgun ammo now because I killed everyone, went to a loading zone, went BACK, and everything respawned. I am screwed.

In Episode One I just got the Gravity gun to change somehow or something, so it's early.

Episode Two I just got the pistol in a mine. So fairly early too.

Now, I have googled and can't find anything, but how many hours does it take to finish the games? I UNFORTUNATELY watched all of the endings except Episode Two's, so I really want to just finish them and get it over with.

And quick question, is Ep One even good? Half Life 2 is great, Ep Two looks and feels great, but Ep One seems to be in such a horrid dead atmosphere that started wrong and is going wrong. Maybe I have to progress further. Oh and which should I finish first? Which is the best? I'm leaning towards Ep Two.

Well, I played HL2 straight for a while and beat it within... 2-3 hours, but that's because I knew what I was doing and where I was going, so it should take you about 4-5 hours?

Ep1... 1-2 hours maybe?

Ep2... 1-3 hours?

Just play them man XD

Edit: And to answer "Is EP1 even good?" Dude, anything Half-Life related is !@#$% awesome. It's just the deeper into Ep1 you get, the better it gets, it kind of starts off dull.

Well the episodes are really Half-Life 3, they are just doing the episodes to end this current story arch. The third episode is the last.

Then we get sum HL4 amirite?

You're kind of wrong there. The episodes are to complete this story arch, yes, but the next game after ep three in the franchise is not HL4, it's HL3, because episodes are linked to HL2.

Well, from the things I read it said that the Episodes were Half-Life 3, just in episodic form.

DOESN'T MATTER, LIKE I SAID LAST NIGHT, YOU PLAY DEM AND STFU!  >:(

Also play HL1 and the two expansions. (Blue Shift and Opposing Force)

1. Play them in order, and stay the hell out of topics that say HL2 spoilers until you've finished all 3. For some reason people find it confusing to say HL2Ep2 spoilers and just put HL2.
2. The episodes are just expansions to HL2, not HL3. Much like The Sims.
3. You don't need ammo to get through Ravenholm, just use your gravity gun and your brain.

In that case, you know there are cheat codes for ammo right?  Try using those.

In regard to your other questions:
-Play them in order DAMNIT, (even if you've already seen spoilers). Patience is a virtue.
-HL2:E1 is great, just keep playing.
