Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
One of the most influential first person games, Half Life is the big daddy of its genre. released in 1998 before Unreal Tournament, Soldier of Fortune and other greats, it still manages to be one of the most played games online. With an equal balance of action and storyline, you play a Dr Gordon Freeman, a professor starting a new job at a black ops research facility. However, soon after you arrive, things go horribly wrong with some of the experiments. Left to your own devices in a locked down facility, you basically have to get out alive. The game is based across one seamless level--the facility. Half Life broke the rules of the level-to-level games before it. Here you get immersed into the Half Life world. Yet it isn't just the maps that are different from what you have come to expect from this genre. The weapons aren't just strewn around as they are in Quake 3. Half Life prefers to hide them on people, lockers and testing rooms making the overall environment more realistic. But where Half Life excels is the multiplayer options. As a standalone package this game will keep you busy for a long time, but Half Life has a very big following, so in addition to the official add-on packs such as Opposing Force, the game has spawned a number of un-official, but hugely successful add-on packs such as Counterstrike and Team Fortress. This game has managed to create a special place in many a gamer's heart. Whether you are new to the genre or just looking for a new challenge, this game is well worth a look at. What's so great is that it's accessible to everyone. If you're new to the genre, stick with the single player missions. But if you're looking for that new challenge, get this and then download Counterstrike straight away. --Stuart Miles
Product Description
In Half-Life you play a scientist trapped in a secret underground lab after a high-energy physics experiment goes bad. Your job is to explore the ruined complex, rescue fellow scientists, and wipe out extra-dimensional aliens. Watch your back, though: shadowy government agents would rather see you dead than let their project be exposed to the world.
