A battle you can't win... 0
When Half-Life came out in 1998, it changed the entire First Person Shooter genre. The amazing story telling, lots of great scripted events, and just very fun shooting and puzzle elements made Half-Life stand out from the rest, and carve out a new direction for FPSs. So how does Half-Life hold up with genre expectations in 2009? Great.You control Gordon Freeman, a freshly graduated theoretical physicist. The game begins with a tram session that everyone who has played Half-Life remembers. The t...

A Classic and a Masterpiece 0
I personally like to classify Half-Life as the best game ever created, but that's just my opinion. However, Half-Life did change the face of gaming with the first successful use of squad tactics and AI, complete lack of cut scenes, One of the greatest and most confusing plotlines ever, and a completely silent protagonist (Gordon Freeman).The player takes control of Gordon right from the get go. The game begins on a tram ride that is on it's way into the Black Mesa Research Facility in New Mexico...

Gordon Freeman is a total badass... 0
There's a pastime I hold dear to me, not speedrunning or even one gun runs, but no damage runs for shooters. There are two games that I cannot do the run with, Half-Life and Deus Ex. I'm sure it is possible but, I'm in awe from beginning to end because of the quality of the game. I'm distracted and therefore, get hit within the first two hours.Everyone knows how a shooter worksStep 1: Take gun/crowbarStep 2: Aim and shootStep 3: Tea-bag enemy/enemy gibBut Half-life has a bit of platformer integr...
