    Half-Life: Blue Shift

    In Half-Life, you were Gordon Freeman, scientist. In Opposing Force, you were Adrian Shepherd, marine. In Blue Shift, you're Barney Calhoun, rent-a-cop. All that remains is an alien point of view, which Gearbox Software ... Read Full Review

    Everyone Seems to Dislike This game!

    Ok! It might not be the best in the series, but it still is pretty fun! I spent about 10 hours on it and so far i have to say that i really enjoyed this game a lot. The Graphics improved from the previous game and the ... Read Full Review

    Even with the inclusion of Opposing Force and revamped Graphics, Blue-Shift still comes out as a disappointing continuat

    Half-Life - the game that paved the way for many of the successful Shooter games that would soon follow it. The game that revolutionized the way the genre was handled. The game that set limits in innovation, gameplay and... Read Full Review

    Blue Shift is just as fun as fans of Half-Life might expect, but is so short as to feel like a cheat...

    It’s only right that I should keep this review as short as the game it covers. So, without further ado: Blue Shift. Too short, as I might’ve mentioned. Starts off very well with a wink and a nod to Gordon Freeman’s fi... Read Full Review

    Tsk tsk tsk.

    WEll this isn't the worst expansion ever made, but it is pretty average and basic. For one thing, it not only has half the original content of Half-life, but it adds nothing new to the franchise. For another, it lasts ... Read Full Review

    Blue Shift is a very enjoyable game that can definitely be recommended to Half Life fans.

    When reading the reviews for Blue Shift on this site it would be easy to go with the crowd and Gamespot by saying that this game doesn't add anything to the HL universe and is not worth playing. I disagree. I don't know ... Read Full Review
