Well, Half Life is the best game ever made in this FKing galaxy. it just is, and if you didn't play when it was launched, yes in 1999, you haven't got a clue about what it's real fans are talking about. back then (ou yeah...), back then the graphics were THE BEST, sound and atmosphere was THE BEST and the storyline, well...sincerely nothing comes close to it. (except for the monsters they were clearly ripped off from the movies "the thing" and "starship troopers" and maybe the explosion might just have a drop of cernobyl in it, but hey, at that time Britney was still a virgin (or so we thought). It had it all and a bag of chips plus a free soda. You couldn't get anything that would even come close to it. Now looking back, yes the story wasn't quite 110% original, the maps were straight forward, but as I told you...it hit us like a bus. Flat out on our back and we loved it. It's funny, now i'm playing HL2 and I get a really nice feeling, thinking, "hey, I was that guy(gordon freeman), 10 years ago I started this". And valve doesn't seem to give up on us. It's got new graphics, new textures, sounds, everything is changed and almost nothing like the original, but it still has that feeling.
To me this is the game that opened my appetite for PC games, and after playing HL2, ep1 and 2, it still is keeping that hunger in check. ;)
