Half-Life is Awesome!
User Rating: 10 | Half-Life PC
This is my first review so I hope you like it. NOTE: I am writing this after I played and beat half-life 2, and a half-life 2 review will come soon. In 1998, a revolutionary game was created. It was called half-life. You played the role of a scientist named Gordon Freeman that worked at a research facility called “ Black Mesa.” Thinking that it was a normal day, Gordon went to work(He should of called in sick). So there he is, going to work thinking it’s just going to be a normal average day on the job. He gets onboard the train and takes an incredibly long and boring(very boring) ride to his working place. Everything seems as usually, scientists conducting experiments, security guards pigging out on donuts, that kind of stuff. When you get off the train, you are pretty much free to go wherever you want. The problem is, when you try to talk to your fellow scientist friends, they either tell you to go away or ask “ Aren’t you supposed to be in the test chamber?” You might get mad at them but don’t worry, most of them will die anyways. So anyways, after venturing around for awhile you will soon find yourself in “ the test chamber.” Ah yes, isn’t it nice to conduct a huge experiment when scientists are complaining about equipment not working properly. When you start the experiment, you are told a few tasks to do around this giant rotating thing. The task that starts it all is to push something into it that will change earth. As you push this container into it, you open a portal to an alien planet “Xen.” Many dangerous and unique creatures are then brought onto earth, causing giant chaos. This all leads into huge action, making this game just so special. Your journey then leads into a fight for survival. Go around Back Mesa fighting monsters, helping scientists, and even fighting your own kind. Yes your own kind! Fellow scientists call the military in to help out and rescue them. Then when they arrive, you find out there here to eliminate everything they see, even you! So I guess you’re a busy man. To wrap it all up, Half-life is a must own. Actually I would say it’s the best game ever! It’s just too much fun to kill monsters, solve puzzles, and be involved in an awesome story! Also, there’s tons of weapons and equipment to fight with, and many levels and worlds to explore! Another thing that keeps you interested in the game is a mysterious man carrying a briefcase. You see him many times in the game, but don’t really get to interact with him until the end of the game. Like stated before, this is the “best game ever” and its over 50 game of the year awards proves it. This game fully deserves my 10, since that’s what I think such a masterpiece deserves. Anyone should get this and if you really get into it, play its expansion packs for other views on the story. Its worth even more with its free modifications. Counter-Strike for example, is the most popular online action game in the world, and if you get sick of half-life, this should keep you entertained for a very long time! There are also more mods like day of defeat and team fortress. You have just finished reading my review about the best game ever. 10! That’s what it deserves! A 10!
