Source engine is just so clean looking that the graphics can hold up, the geometry is all crisp and clean but lighting effects hadn't really developed beyond bloom at that point. Almost like minimalist graphics, in some ways I even prefer that. The game feels so light and free and all the art design is perfect for it.
