  Happy Birthday Half-Life!

  Yep, today is Half-Life's Birthday. A great game developed by a great company(Valve).

  
  Made in 1998, Half-Life was the beginning of a new trend for games. Named Game of the Year by over 50 publications, it was hard to ignore. After a few Death Match expansions which where also great hits and several years, the game eventually led to Half-Life 2 in 2004.
  HL2's ground breaking Physics Engine and engulfing story-line also set a new standard and great roll model for future games, by Valve and other developers. Half-Life 2 earned over 35 Game of the Year awards and has released two other episodes to the saga. Episode 3 is still in development.
  
  So in honor of this day, Valve has reduced the price of Half-Life by 90%(until  Friday November 21) through their World Wide distributing system STEAM.

   Be sure to give your thanks to Valve, without their hard work, today's video games may just not be the same.
