05/27/2008 | The HL deathmatch has folks with many years of HL experience. This has been the only first person shooter that I can play for years. Long jump and classic HL weapons makes for a wild shoot out. LOVE IT. (HL one forever!)

12/08/2007 | Set the bar for most of the first person shooters that you see today. Before this game graphics were lame and patchy this game took on a new physics engine that almost every other title after used just like with half life 2. Valve are true technilogical gods and deserve alot more respect from many console gamers.

01/04/2006 | A very good game. Good range of weapons and the setting and plot is highly developed. Who doesn't enjoy shooting combines with the anti-grav gun? Just watch the beautifull ragdoll effects take place. Zombie levels were fun and exciting. Some of the best graphics i had ever scene. Very hardware intensive, luckily i had just got a new computer when this came out. Very player invloving gameplay, makes you feel as though you are really there. A top-notch game.

12/09/2004 | Very atmospheric and well executed game. The graphics were good for their time, the enemy A.I. was peerless when the game came out, especially the clean up team sent in to take Freeman out. Just the right length and had a great ending.

09/06/2004 | This game can be described in one word: overrated. The graphics were not even good when the game came out (it used a combination of Quake I and Quake II engines, if you can believe it). It brought nothing new to gaming, and it is appreciated more for its multiplayer and its mod-capability than its actual single-player campaign. The much-hyped story was a mere rehash of Doom's. There were some actually scary moments, however. (NOTE: Just realized after I posted that I've rated this game before as BalinChojin. Sorry.)

11/12/2003 |  This game took the world by storm, much like Doom did all those years ago and it set the standard of FPS games for the millenium. Though launched in 1998 I was still on my third attempt at Dungeon Keeper and hadn't actually paid for a game since Duke Nukem in 1996. I got my moneys worth though because I ended up playing this about four times. The game starts with you taking a mining carriage into some secret planetary laboratory and reminded me of the beginning to an all action Arnie film, well little did I realise that it was very much like being part of a film and one with a story line too - which is a bonus. It is a First Person Shooter (FPS) which basically means you run around killing anything in sight by using your huge arsenal of bombs, grenades, guns and organic alien launchers and at the same time desperately trying to salvage health, ammo and generally shitting yourself. I think the game took me so long to complete the first time because you would very often find me hiding behind some plant like tentacle plucking up the courage to dive into the jaws of a huge pant-browning monster. Anyway, it sat at the number one FPS spot for 2 years until Medal of Honour swiped the throne.

07/22/2003 | Half Life deserves my Hall-Of-Fame award for best First Person Shooter, ever. When it came out I was blown away. The facility that Freeman traverses through is so gargantuan, interesting and full of ominous, very creepy monsters. The story was great, the A.I. really great and the graphics and sound were unparalleled.
The single player campaign was so long and absorbing that I never have played it in multiplayer. Awesome game. Even now -5 years later- it's a better-than-average game compared to the others out there.

11/19/2002 | This game has been out for years and hasnt been topped yet. Wonderfully imaginative and inventive, grim and funny at the same time, its like being in a movie. Atmospheric and addicting, and YOU CAN BURN A COPY

06/13/2002 | I haven't even played the game, but the Day of Defeat and Counter-Strike mod is what I bought it for anyway.

02/24/2002 | probebly one of the best productions ever in the FPS game world. it's not too hard (but who am i to judge? i don't think aliens vs. predator is as impossible as some people thought), but it's game play is just amaizing. it uses every surprising, dramatic and classic trick you can imagine. you drive a train when suddenly something breaks and it loses control and start rushing towards a radioactive pit, monsters blow up doors and walls to get to you, the walls shake with might when you know there is a huge monster in the centeral hall, creating the fear it might break through the wall every second, elevators break down, bridges collapse, monsters appear behind your back. the game introduce you the dangers so you might have something to fear, a dying scientist warns you about a beast ahead, another one say that to kill the shark you must get into the water with him, other scientist screaming "open the blast door, it's our only way out" when suddenly the officer near the controls get killed by a mutated scientist. this game just keeps surprising you every second, creates a great atmosphere and challenge you every step.

12/04/2000 | Best game ever! Yes, it is. OK so it's long and bits of it are hard, but I never got bored of it & it never p**sed me off with it's difficulty - and I really suck at computer games! Engaging, involving, gorgeous, brilliantly designed, and it scared the crap out of me. 'Nuff said.

11/19/2000 | Game of the Year. Alright, I can handle that, though I don't agree. Game of the Year in 40+ publications... that's a little harder to digest. Best Game EVER? NOT A CHANCE! This game uses the Quake II engine to tell the somewhat creepy sci fi story of aliens overrunning a top secret research facility. When your character, Gordon Freeman, attempts to escape and find help for his fellow scientists from the military, it turns out the military is trying to exterminate all the scientists. Now Gordon must fight two forces, the military, and the aliens, while trying to protect the scientists. It is fun, but it kind of hard. It is definitely not best game ever material. It is a game lost between a few different genres, and it can't stick with one style of game. First it is an adventure game. Then a survival horror game. Then an action game. Then a survival horror game. Then an adventure game. It would be so much better if it were just one game that wasn't trying to be something it is not.

09/28/2000 | The best Shoot-em-up I ever played. Great story and architecture. Most of all, this is quite realistic (I mean for the weapons, architecture and story), not for the aliens.

07/31/2000 | A superb game with stunning visual effects, realsitic sounds and great multiplayer support. The single player game is addicting and challenging at the same time. Add to that solid customer service and tech support and there you go.

04/16/2000 | Half-Life is a surprise - an engaging FPS that will hold your attention even as it sucks you into it's involved storyline. Look up "atmospheric" in the dictionary and you'll find this game. The graphics are top-notch, but as in all creatively successful entries in this genre, it is really the sound that makes you jump. Just one caveat: be prepared for a long journey, as this game seems to go on and on and on. Just when you think you must be in the last level, another one comes along, and another one, and another one. But it's all worth it, as this will be one of the best FPSs you'll ever play.

12/10/1999 | The single greatest first-person shooter yet designed - great monster design, with a storyline that becomes rather emotionally engaging. I could have done without the Xen level, though.
